<… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least two bands called Distorted, in chronological order:

1) A melodic death metal/gothic metal band from Bat-Yam, Israel.

The band formed in 1996 and released two demos until 2002 when they began concentrating more seriously on playing live. In 2003 and 2004 the band began to write the music for their debut album Memorial which was recorded in 2005 in Underground Studio in Sweden. The album was released on March 13th 2006 in Israel and May 2nd 2006 in the rest of Europe.

In 2007, Distorted took part in the prestigious Metal Female Voice Festival, toured with Aborted and secured a deal with UK based record label Candlelight.

Their second album, Voices From Within, was released in April of 2008, featuring guest vocals by Thomas Vikstrom (from Therion), Sven De Caluwe (from Aborted) and Lisa Johansson (from Draconian). Guitarist Henrik "Heinz" Jacobsen from Koldborn also made an appearance on the album.

The band cite their influences as Opeth, Nevermore, Dark Tranquility and The Gathering, though there is a heavy Middle-Eastern influence to their sound, similar to countrymates Orphaned Land.

Band members:
Raffel Mor – vocals, Guitars
Ben Zohar – Guitars
Guy Shalom – Bass
Amir Segev – drums

Former members:
Miri Milman - vocals
Michal Akrabi - vocals

2) A Belgian metal band. The sound of the band is a melting pot of the musical preferences and roots of its members ; from Bay Area trash (Exodus, Testament and Machine Head), to heavy metal (Motorhead) and hardcore (Pro Pain and Hatebreed), with sometimes a little death metal (Entombed). Anything goes, as long as it sounds well and heavy.

In october 2003 Peter Gaelens (ex-Cowboys&Aliens), Olivier Claeys (ex-Gallow and ex-Zero Tolerance) and Hans Vancouillie (ex-Gallow and ex-Zero Tolerance) join forces and start a new band called Distorted. One month later Jürgen Elias joins the band. In march ’04 they record a mini-cd (6 tracks) “Devil to pay” at the HYPE studios in Mechelen with producer Dee J (La Muerte). The cd is released in may on the WATT’S’ON record label.

In 2004 and 2005 Distorted played a whole bunch of gigs with a whole bunch of bands, such as Do or die, After All, In-Quest, Peter Pan Speedrock, Oceans Of Sadness, Morda... and finally were invited to support Pro Pain for a part of their European "Prophets of doom" tour in november '05.

In december the band feels that a second guitar would add to the power and groove of the music, and certainly would broaden the possibilities. “In order to grow you should evolve...” At that time Niek Devos (ex-Mindstab) joined the band. In April ’06 distorted recorded their new full album “Demon inside” , again at the Hype Studio in Mechelen with producer Dee J. In july it was mastered by Tue Madsen at the Antfarm Studio in Danmark. In September the band got signed by Precious Metal Productions which is bringing out the album in all over Europe...

Letting Go
Distorted Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The time has come to realize
The meaning of saying goodbye
To accept and not deny
To let go and fade into the night

In your heart
In your mind
Will you find me?

Through the dark
Deep inside
Will you find me?
When I'm gone
Will you find me?

The time has come to understand
That I am nothing but a shade
I am beyond the decayed
I am among the dead

In your heart
In your mind
Will you find me?
Through the dark
Deep inside
Will you find me?
When I'm gone
Will you find me?

The time is right
To let go the past
To walk towards the light
Become one with the insight

In your heart
In your mind
Will you find me?
Through the dark
Deep inside
Will you find me?
When I'm gone
Will you find me?

In your heart
In your mind
I will find you
Through the dark
Deep inside
I will find you
When I'm gone
I will always find you

Deep inside...
In my heart...

Overall Meaning

The song Letting Go by Distorted is a powerful and reflective piece that addresses the process of loss, change, and self-acceptance. The lyrics in the song convey a deep sense of realization of letting go and accepting the fact that sometimes it is crucial to move on for one's well-being. The verse "The time has come to realize, The meaning of saying goodbye, To accept and not deny, To let go and fade into the night", denotes the importance of acceptance and letting go. The song is a reflection of a personal experience or a tough situation that the singer or someone close to them might have gone through. The chorus "In your heart, In your mind, Will you find me?", expresses the singer's desire to be remembered after they're gone and to be found in their legacy or memories.

The next stanza states "The time has come to understand, That I am nothing but a shade, I am beyond the decayed, I am among the dead", which suggests that the singer has come to the realization that they are not going to live forever, and they'll eventually leave something intangible behind. They'll become a memory, a thought, or an idea of who they were to those they've left behind. The lines "The time is right, To let go the past, To walk towards the light, Become one with the insight", may signify that the time for change is now, it's essential to move on from the past, towards a brighter future with a deeper understanding of life.

In conclusion, Distorted's Letting Go perfectly captures the essence of coming to terms with loss, moving on, and accepting the past to move forward towards a brighter future.
