Another month has gone by and we here at Distorted Sound have a fabulous blockbuster new issue for you
to sink your teeth into! No strangers to Distorted Sound, we've had them on the cover before, but this month
DEVILDRIVER grace our cover once more as the band prepare to drop their most ambitious effort to date!
Blending outlaw country with the metal we know and love, we dive into their new opus with charismatic
frontman Dez Fafara, it's definitely worth a read. Elsewhere, we've got a stack of great features for you all to
enjoy. From UK riff-lords ORANGE GOBLIN who have returned with the mighty The Wolf Bites Back, Japanese
metal sensations LOVEBITES to digging in deep with PARKWAY DRIVE as they ready themselves to conquer
the biggest of stages and so much more. From MADBALL, HEAD WITH WINGS, MAYDAY PARADE and more,
there's more than enough to keep you hooked Speaking of which, as festival season is in full swing, it only
seems right that we bring you two massive reviews from two of the hottest events in the UK rock music
calender. This month, we bring you the action from the frontlines of the UK's biggest alternative party, Slam
Dunk Festival, and we present our report of all the action from the hallowed grounds of Download Festival
2018.All that, and with our round-up of the best albums and gigs throughout the month of June, this really is a
fabulous issue of Distorted Sound, so get yourself comfy in the sunshine, crack a beer and enjoy!
