Festival season is well and truly underway and the UK scene is blessed with a wonderful variety of
festivals offering the best the rock and metal world has to offer. With specialists festivals like
UK Tech-Fest and 2000 Trees offering a catered experiences, it allows us here at Distorted Sound to
bring you the best coverage in those respective scenes and this month’s issue does that in abundance!
On the back of the surprise release Mesmer which is signalling the technological movement of the mu-
sic industry and NORTHLANE are at the epicentre of this change. We divulged into these advances in our
industry with the forward-thinking Australians and that’s why they are on the cover; we represent
the bands that are driving for change in our world! Also, fresh from our coverage of this year’s UK
Tech-Fest, be sure to read our MASSIVE review, we bring you the latest from GHOST IRIS, HIEROGLYPH, EX-
IST IMMORTAL and sadly say goodbye to the mighty TEXTURES. Aside from our coverage of UK Tech-Fest
and 2000 Trees, we bring you some of the best bands that are making waves this month. From RINGS OF
SATURN’ mesmerising new opus, KIM SEVIOUR’s solo venture, IN THIS MOMENT’s expanding soundscape,
VÖLUR’s blending of genres to create a truly exhilarating listening experience and BAD SIGN’s surging
rise in UK rock music, we’ve got more than enough good stuff to get stuck into!
