Another month has passed and another issue of Distorted Sound has landed! And this month's issue is
packed to the brim with awesome bands for you all to enjoy. Landing our coveted cover spot for this
month's issue is a band that needs no introduction. Kings of melodic death metal AT THE GATES land
our cover spot as we dive into their storming new opus with talismanic frontman Tomas Lindberg.
Elsewhere, we've got plenty of killer bands for you to check out. Finnish melodic death metallers
AMORPHIS returned with their excellent new album and we get stuck in with the band to discover
how it was created, we catch up with Norwegian black metal heavyweights DIMMU BORGIR to talk
about the evolving landscape of extreme music and we lift the lid on the much anticipated new album
from ZEAL & ARDOR. That and we've got plenty of new and emerging talent for you to sink your teeth
into. From progressive metallers MASK OF JUDAS, ambient progressive duo MIDAS FALL, power metal
warriors FOLLOW THE CIPHER and rising metalcore mob I, THE MAPMAKER, these are the bands that
we think you definitely need to check out! That and with ace features with SEVENDUST, GRAVEYARD,
WITCHSORROW and so much more, there's plenty of awesome stuff for you to enjoy. So sit down and
enjoy this blockbuster new issue of Distorted Sound!
