NEWS: Distorta head towards the light…

Shot at The Painted Lady Hotel in Ballarat a new era of Distorta has begun with a music video for “Into the Light“. It’s the first from the Australian’s new line up as the band launch a new dual-vocal sound before a headline Halloween comeback show in Mildura. The song itself showcases the  contrast created by Cherie Briody’s clean vocals and Dmitry Keremetskiy’s heavy delivery while  dealing with the pain of watching someone you love fall ill or near the end of their life, and of not being ready to let them go.

Guitarist James Bogers: “Into the Light shows a side of Distorta that people haven’t heard from us before. It’s more melodic and atmospheric, but it still has the weight and intensity that have always been at the core of the band. Cherie and Dmitry’s voices have opened up a whole new range of possibilities in our songwriting.”

Drummer Chris Hanrahan: “This song is a real turning point for us. We wanted to write something honest and emotional without losing the power of Distorta, and the dual vocals let us move between vulnerability and heaviness in a way we couldn’t before. The rest of our new material is heavier and more powerful, combining catchy vocal melodies and big hooks with crushing riffs and breakdowns. It’s the start of a bigger, darker and more dynamic sound for the band.”
