<… 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...
One Last Breath
Distorted Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All silent and cold
Then I am longing for you
And I am calling for you
(Do you feel my pain?!)
One Last Breath
Before emptiness consumes my soul
It has been so long
And I still see you
In front of me I still feel your
Warm embrace
Your spirit lies within me eternally
In this sea of misery
I can't swim
Be my guide and I will follow you
One Last breath
Before emptiness consumes my soul
Now I must face this all by myself
(This all by myself...)
The lyrics to Distorted's song One Last Breath speak about the pain and longing that arise from a separation, and the struggle to accept a reality in which one must face life's challenges alone. The song begins with a description of a pale spring morning that is "silent and cold," evoking a sense of bleakness and desolation. The singer is longing for someone who is no longer there, and calls out to them with a question: "Do you feel my pain?!" This line suggests that the person's absence has caused the singer intense emotional distress, and that they are seeking some kind of acknowledgment or validation from the person they miss.
The chorus of the song speaks to the sense of emptiness and despair that the singer feels in the wake of the separation. They describe feeling as though their soul is being consumed by emptiness, and that they must face this feeling alone. However, the second half of the song focuses on the idea that the person they miss is still with them in some sense. The singer sees them "in front" of them, and feels their "warm embrace." The person's spirit, they suggest, "lies within me eternally." Despite the feelings of loneliness and despair, the singer holds onto the idea that their loved one is still with them in some sense, and that they can be a guide through the "sea of misery" that the singer is navigating.
Overall, the lyrics to One Last Breath express the complex and painful feelings that arise when someone we love is no longer with us. The song explores themes of separation, loneliness, and the struggle to find meaning in a world that can sometimes feel bleak and desolate. However, it also suggests that even in the midst of despair, the people we love can remain a source of comfort and strength in our lives.
Line by Line Meaning
Pale spring morning
An early morning in spring that lacks color and warmth
All silent and cold
A time of no noise or warmth, just emptiness and loneliness
Then I am longing for you
I am filled with a strong desire to be with you
And I am calling for you
I am reaching out, hoping to get a response from you
(Do you feel my pain?!)
Can you empathize with my pain?
One Last Breath
A final moment to breathe and prepare for the worst
Before emptiness consumes my soul
A moment to reflect before despair takes over me completely
Now I must face this all by myself
I've been given no choice but to confront this alone
It has been so long
Such a significant amount of time has passed
And I still see you
You are still present in my mind and memories
In front of me I still feel your
I'm still able to sense your
Warm embrace
Affectionate physical contact that brought warmth and comfort
Your spirit lies within me eternally
Your essence remains a permanent part of me
In this sea of misery
In this unforgiving place of hardship
I can't swim
I'm unable to navigate through this on my own
Be my guide and I will follow you
I am willing to follow if someone is willing to lead me out
(This all by myself...)
(I'm going through this alone...)
