10 issues. 10 months of hardwork from myself and a dedicated team and here we are, the biggest issue of Distorted Sound to date!

Anthrax have ruled the roost of thrash metal for over three decades and ahead of their amazing new album, For All Kings, we find out why they have a reponsibility to look after new bands!

ALSO we take a look at pop-punk’s cutest couple The Dollyrots, bid a fond farewell to Aiden and welcome in new horror-punks Ashestoangels. That, and as usual, a stack of fantastic album and live reviews from the team. So enjoy this jam-packed issue of Distorted Sound!

Featured in this month's issue of Distorted Sound is our extensive coverage of this year's Bloodstock Festival! With a full review and features of Memoriam, Goatwhore, Gloryhammer, Ramage INC, The Heretic Order, DragonForce and more!

We here at Distorted Sound like to champion bands that are in for the long haul. Bands that spend years crafting their sound and progress to game changers in our world. In terms of symphonic metal, the rise of DELAIN has been nothing short of admirable, now celebrating their ten year anniversary, DELAIN have made a lasting impact to their genre and metal overall. So join us as we reflect on the first ten years of DELAIN with Charlotte Wessels.

Also! Keeping in touch with the long haul, we bask in the new record from long-time stoner outfit MOS GENERATOR and we catch up with one of death metal's most notorious groups, CATTLE DECAPITATION, where Travis Ryan gives us an insight into one of death metal's hottest properties. However, it's important to note that we like to keep an eye on the next big thing and ORACLES may just be that, the death metal supergroup have made some serious waves with their debut record and guitarist Steve Miller reveals all and what ORACLES strive to achieve! 

So here is to the old and the new, as without a doubt both give the fundamental ingredients into what makes the metal genres so unique and appealing. It is inspiring and iconic to see the influences that the elder bands are having on the newer and vice versa. It's keeping the scene alive and fresh, consequently making breakthroughs and giving the best of the best. 

So, bask in this fantastic new issue of Distorted Sound and enjoy!

I remember hearing Whitechapel for the first time when I was 15, the raw intensity of their music blew my mind! Now, nearly nine years later, the band have evolved into what they are today. Mark of the Blade is a statement for Whitechapel and because of this, that's why they are on the cover as we lift the lid on this new chapter on one of modern metal's strongest bands. 

Behind the scenes, things at Distorted Sound have been in overdrive, as new members have been brought in and a change in the guard as Jessica Howkins joins me as co-Editor in Chief. This issue reflects this strong unity we have with our staff. This issue contains some of the finest bands metal has to offer, from the fun-filled thrashings of Municipal Waste to the iconic behemoths of Testament and Death Angel. Of course, we also make room for introducing new and emerging talent and in this issue we introduce the fantastic Hollow Bones and Nails, the former exploding in with their phenomenal new record. 

Festival season is also truly well and underway and in this issue we've got coverage from two of the biggest the UK has to offer. I (Jessica here!) have been attending festivals for years on end now, the most common is Download. There’s nothing better than going to a field, as wet as this years was and just dedicating all of your time to your favourite bands. I have never known such fun until finally getting to see Municipal Waste live and charging into the pits and watching my favourite band Iron Maiden perform the way they did. Read on to see our lowdown of this year's Slam Dunk and Download Festival and see what our team made of both festivals! This issue will have you covered, so sit down, and enjoy this new offering of Distorted Sound.

The thing about heavy metal is that we as fans love to champion the greats. In fact, I think metal is really the only genre where we truly champion the bands that have had an impact on our lives. Whilst bringing forth things that are new and exciting, there always is time to reflect and remind ourselves why these bands are so revered in our scene. 

This issue is all about championing the greats of metal and some of the greatest bands metal has to offer grace our issue. One such band is Destruction, the German thrash legends have been at the top of their game for decades and with the release of album number 14, we discover why we are all under attack! Similarly, death metal maestros Immolation reveal their sources for inspiration in a world that is dying and we bask in the glory of the pivotal Nemesis Divina with Satyricon and journey into fantasy with Blind Guardian. 

Whilst championing the greats of our music is important, we still must focus on those bands that are breaking through today. Manchester's Broken Teeth have ruled the roost of underground hardcore for years now and finally their debut record is here, we find out with the band what it means to be hardcore. We also welcome the return of Despised Icon who are gearing up to unleash the beast!  

With a full breakdown of this year's Impericon festival and coverage of bands across the entire spectrum of heavy metal; from black metal rifflords Dark Funeral to the new face of thrash metal, Nervosa; there is something for everyone in this issue. And really, that's what metal is all about.

12 months. 12 issues. Distorted Sound celebrated our first year as a publication this month and what a year it's been. The bands we have covered, big and small, the albums we have reviewed has led to our voice gaining in volume. As we celebrate this milestone, we have a belter of an issue jam-packed full of some of metal's biggest names and some upcoming talent that may just become your next favourite band! 

I remember hearing Devildriver for the first time when I was 15, I was blown away by the relentless energy and the damn ferocious riffs. Nearly nine years after hearing them for the first time, they grace the cover of this publication with their utterly stunning new record, Trust No One. Read on to hear Dez Fafara tell it all about their new album and what the future holds for the band. Plus! We talked to thrash legends Overkill about their remarkable career, find out what's next for Polish death metal goliath Vader and get the lowdown on the new Avatar record. 

Not only that but we get retro with heavy metal royalty Diamond Head, bask in the emotional journey with Katatonia, open the lid on the resurgence of Otep and, sadly, say goodbye to the UK's own Hang The Bastard. It's an issue that reflects what this magazine is all about. The BEST metal has to offer and as we continue to expand, we always will bring you the best of what the scene is offering the ears of the world.

With all these great features, plus a stack of album and live reviews done by the phenomenal team at Distorted Sound, read our latest issue and enjoy!

Here's to the next 12 months!

Often we forget that our favourite bands are just people like us. People who have their own lives outside of the music they craft. This can result in a long wait and for Walls of Jericho, eight years is a very long time. Reigniting their fire and with the best album in their career, we explore all with vocalist Candace Kucsulain; from becoming a parent to dead lifting and regaining her passion for adrenaline pumping metal.

Whilst we at Distorted Sound love to champion what's new and cutting edge, we like to take a look to the past at some of metal's biggest and most influential bands and this issue is jam-packed with bands that have helped forge what metal is today. We look at the unsung heroes of hardcore punk, Discharge, who have influenced the likes of Metallica and Slayer to name but a few. We relish in the beer-soaked history of Exodus, take a look back at Winds of Creation with Poland's Decapitated and see why Killswitch Engage are still ruling the roost of metalcore with their fantastic new album Incarnate. 

Also! We look at the war machine of Sabaton's military driven power metal, get djent with Textures who give us a look into the upcoming Genotype and find out how fusing folk and metal works with Ensiferum. That, and a stack (and I mean a huge stack) of album and live reviews from the team. I say this every month, but this is the best issue of Distorted Sound to date!

Happy New Year and welcome to the first Distorted Sound of 2016! And what a January we have had!

With so many great records released this month, I’m already dreading my end of year list and we still have 11 more months of heavy metal goodness to enjoy! This has been a big month for Distorted Sound and this issue is packed with cracking features and reviews from the team. Join us as we look at the return of Exumer, find out why no false poseurs are allowed with Gehenna and we take a look at the rise of Finland’s hottest export, Lost Society!

The Black Dahlia Murder have been the contemporary force in death metal for years now and we tak an in-depth look at the new stewards of death metal! That, and a ton of other great stuff, from Fleshgod Apocalypse to Therion! Sit down, grab a beer and enjoy!

2015 is almost over and what a year we’ve had for heavy metal. Across all the varying sub-genres we’ve had some cracking releases (be sure to check out our top albums of the year!). As we prepare for what 2016 will bring, we introduce SHVPES, see why Fallujah and Continents will take the metal world by storm and bask in the glory of Hell. 

Sepultura have been one of extreme metal’s most pivotal bands and as they enjoy the milestone of thirty years we explore the band’s bloody roots and how they are preparing for the future. 

Also we find out how Lost Soul handle competition in Poland’s excellent death metal scene, and divulge into the murky world of Kampfar. That and as always, a ton of shows and great albums reviewed by the team. Enjoy the festivities with the 2015’s closing issue of Distorted Sound! Cheers!

Metal these days is confusing the say the least. With so many sub-genres it can be complicated for fans to keep track at what styles to listen to. Sometimes the old school is best. Carcass are masters of the old school and we get gritty with Bill Steer.

Also, we dissect The Vintage Caravan, get hardcore with Twitching Tongues, bask in the mastery of Accept and find out why Novelists are going to be the band to watch in 2016. All that and a ton of great features and reviews from the team. Enjoy the biggest and strongest issue of Distorted Sound to date!

2015 has been the year of change. Some of metal’s leading names have reinvented their sound in order to appeal a wider audience; note Bring Me The Horizon and Parkway Drive. 

Enslaved, however, are the masters of change. From their roots of Norwegian black metal to a complicated array of progressive metal, Enslaved’s musical journey has been cherished by fans worldwide. They are at the forefront of extreme metal and that’s why they are on the cover.

Plus, we catch up with thrash metal legend Bobby Blitz from Overkill, get gritty with Agnostic Front, relish in the roots of metal with Grand Magus. Plus a ton of great new music reviewed by the team. So enjoy this latest issue of Distorted Sound!
