DISTORTED SOUND MAGAZINE WHAT’S INSIDE DISTORTED SOUND MAGAZINE EDITORS NOTE JAMES WEAVER JESSICA HOWKINS It's somewhat staggering that despite having a career spanning decades, that Irish alternative metallers THERAPY? Having flown somewhat under the radar. Despite this, the band have worked tirelessly, cranking out a staggeringly long discography of records. Now, on the cusp of their whopping fifteenth release, the band grace our cover as they dive deep into the human nature of our broken society. Given the current political climate, this has come at the perfect time. Elsewhere, this month's issue of Distorted Sound continues to bring the best in rock and metal to you, our valued readers! A highlight of our calender, Bloodstock Festival is one of our favourite events of the year, and 2018's edition did not disappoint! Be sure to check out our mammoth review of the weekend's action. And speaking of Bloodstock, we've included some rather splendid features with some of the best bands of the weekend! From new wave thrashers ALIEN WEAPONRY, the rifftastic SERTRALINE or the sheer vicious nature of the grinding NEGATIVE THROUGH PROCESS, we've got you covered. Not just that, but throw in the likes of the consistently excellent CLUTCH, rising tech-groove metallers THE FIVE HUNDRED, emerging death metallers THE SPIRIT, two piece noise-explosion MANTAR and so much more, this new issue of Distorted Sound!
