The 19th track on our free download compilation “Face The Beat: Session 4” (featuring 92 tracks) is by the Russian dark wave act Distorted World featuring harsh male and clean female vocals.

When their submission landed in our mailbox, we didn’t hesitate a second to accept them. The duo offers splendid dark wave / electropop which reminds of the best material from Technoir or yet Suicidal Romance.

Based in Moscow, Russia, the project was formed in 2010. The band’s first album “Between The Strophes” was released in 2012 and was followed by the single “Personal Necropolis” (2013). The band’s last studio output was the 2014 album “Shadow Empire”. Right now they are working on their third LP “Storm And Silence”.

You can find the band on VK and on Facebook. More than recommended!

Why we ask

Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.
