The First Three Sins of Devil in the Dust
Let’s start by discussing the first three sins of Distorta and their album, Devil in the Dust.
The Fourth Sin: Overall Discussion:
Where the music takes the listener on a journey relevant to the world today…
As soon as the listener presses the play button, the opening song, The Tomorrow People, greets the listener with an audio explosion of instrumental and vocal work.
As you continue your musical journey with Distoria, the second song, Devil In The Dust, and the remaining three songs, where the music takes the listener on a journey relevant to the world today – War, Mental Health, and Addiction.
Upon hearing Distoria for the first time, their sound’s sheer power and precision immediately struck me. From the thundering drums and pounding bass to the razor-sharp guitar work and searing vocals, their music is executed with fruit of art skill and attention to detail. Although their style is difficult to categorise, I would describe their sound as a unique blend of anthem groove-based death thrash infused with heavy metal and metalcore influences.
In short, Distoria delivers an unforgettable listening experience that will leave an impression on anyone who hears it.
A DEVIL IN THE DUST is a genuine fruit of art-head-banging music. It is a short but intense release that will pump your fists and bang your head. The twin guitar work by James and Dom comprises fast chugging riffs, pulsing rhythms, harmonies, and hard-driving shredding solos that will blow your mind. Dave‘s bass riffs provide a solid groove foundation for the music, while Chris‘s drumming is a powerhouse of rhythmic energy, with stomping beats, fills, strikes, and high-hat strikes that will get your heart racing. And let us not forget Dmitry’s vocals – they are a fruit of art, with a blackened growl that will send shivers down your spine and a gang-like chorus that will make you want to sing along.
If you are a die-hard heavy metal fan, you cannot afford to miss Devil In The Dust. As I sit here listening to Distoria, I cannot help but notice the powerful musical influences of bands like Anthrax, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, early Metallica, and Lamb Of God, among others. These influences make this EP a must-listen for any metalhead. With its diverse range of sounds, there is something for everyone in this EP.
