With the release of the video clip for the single ‘GO WITH THE FLOW‘, DISTORMED present themselves for the first time and show that they are aiming high. This song fits seamlessly with the message the band wants to communicate to their audience: “Go with the flow and drift on the storm we call our lives, by looking on the bright side“.
‘Go With The Flow’ is about letting yourself drift on the flow of life. Since positive and negative experiences can not be separated from each other, as it will take both to be aware of ones life, you should not become trapped in negativity. Have life take its course and it will most definitely enable you to enjoy all the beauty life has to offer!
Go With The Flow is the first track from a series of 4 elements, which together, form the direction the band wants to give its intended debut album. This first song deals with the element of water and aims to start the first wave that will push the band forward. It is expected that their debut album will be released this autumn, so stay tuned for more.
The band formed a year and a half ago, after previous projects disintegrated or became unworkable. The various members came together by chance and shared more or less the same experiences in their past. They quickly agreed that this time, they should work together without a surplus of ego and had the instinct that they had to write their songs with a positive message.
The name of the band stems from the turbulent period the individual band members have gone through in the recent past. Expressing, that with this new band, they finally found their creative flow to be able to shift their horizons beyond the ones they had witnessed so far. Therefore DISTORMED can best be interpreted as “emerged from the storm”. A sentiment that the band is only too happy to convey to its audience.
The different band members of DISTORMED have already demonstrated their international ambitions in their previous and current bands and are doing everything they can to continue on this path with this new band. Drummer Ruben Israel has already rocked numerous stages on many continents with DELAIN. Guitarists Martijn de Lauw, Erwin Jongenelen and bassist Gerrit Meulendijks have been on an extensive European tour with their previous band SHIVERBURN. Singer JC Wardenaar is also no stranger to the world of rock music, having been part of bands like Flight195, Memphis Lion and Rouge United, where she has been able to tempest many a country with her voice. It goes without saying that international fame is in the mindset of this band and that the world will soon hear more from DISTORMED!
