1) electronic

Distorted Reality was formed by Martha M. Arce from Miami, FL, United States and Christian Kobusch from Berlin, Germany. Martha is the former lead singer of Deep Red, the American Electro-Goth formation. While on tour in Germany with Deep Red, as the support for Project Pitchfork, a chance meeting would occur.
After a concert in Herford, Germany, Martha and Christian met and discussed their ideas. Via e-mail they kept in touch and formed Distorted Reality in 1997. Because of the distance the production took a long time. However, as a result of good studio conditions, a mutual desire, and willingness to make this project work, a collection of innovative and unique songs were created.
Since their formation, Distorted Reality have appeared on numerous CD compilations and radio shows, mainly across North America and Europe. An array of European and American music magazines have featured Distorted Reality, hailing their talents. Among these are the German magazines Zillo, Sonic Seducer and Orkus, the Belgium/American Sideline, and the Russian Rockcity. In addition, Distorted Reality was ranked No. 4 in the "Best Newcomer 2002" category in the Grenzwellen.de online poll.
Distorted Reality's debut album, "The Fine Line Between Love and Hate," was produced with Bruno Kramm (Das Ich) and released on May 17, 2002 on Accession Records. The album contains remixes by Propaganda, Sabotage, and Noyce™.
On May 13, 2003 "The fine Line..." was re-released on the American record label Nilaihah Records. The North American version contains additional remixes by Assemblage 23, Forma Tadre, cut.rate.box, and Null Device.
Besides smaller stage appearances, Distorted Reality performed live at the 12th Wave Gotik Treffen in Leipzig (Germany) and supported a Psyche concert in Tampa (Florida, USA). As a part of the "Electronic Pleasures" Festival Tour in November 2004, Distorted Reality played in Berlin, Hanover, and Augsburg (Germany). Distorted Reality eventually signed an agreement with booking agency RGKP to increase the stage presence of the band.
Martha and Christian completed their second album "Daydreams and Nightmares" together with Andreas Meyer (Forma Tadre, Newt). The album was released on March 21, 2006 on Nilaihah Records in the U.S. and Scanner Records of Dark Dimensions in Europe. Artists like Bruno Kramm (Das Ich), Daniel Myer (Haujobb), In Strict Confidence, Dust of Basement, and Chris L. (Agonoize) contributed remixes to this album. One highlight of this album is a cover version of Billy Idol's "Rebel Yell".
Fever
Distorted Reality Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Drifting towards your very own destruction, virtues not mine longing refine.
You feel it grow inside you know you cannot win this fight I've put you in
your wants desires they take you higher, you feel it grow this fever tells me so.
A Lonely touch don't ask for too much of me, what do you see?
Golden mists lead to a deadly kiss, a desperate curse it does comes first.
Distorted Reality's song Fever is a haunting and lyrically vivid song about the dangers of succumbing to one's deepest longings and temptations. The song follows a person who finds themselves walking through a maze of hidden motives, willing to take on any risk in pursuit of their desires. However, their pursuit leads them down a path of destruction, as their virtues are lost, refining only their longing for what they cannot have.
The song's chorus is particularly poignant, with lines that paint a clear picture of the fever that grips this person, drawing them further and further down a dangerous path. The lyrics "you feel it grow inside you, know you cannot win this fight I've put you in, your wants desires they take you higher, you feel it grow this fever tells me so" convey the sense of helplessness that this person feels in the face of their own desires, unable to resist the pull of what they want, even as they know it will bring them nothing but pain.
The final verse of the song takes a darker turn, as the consequences of this person's actions become clear. They are left to reflect on their "lonely touch" and wonder what it is they truly seek, as the "golden mists" that once seemed so alluring now lead only to a "deadly kiss". The curse of their own desires has come to fruition. All they can do is watch as their own destruction unfolds before them.
Overall, with its evocative lyrics and haunting melody, Fever is a cautionary tale about the danger of giving in to one's deepest desires. It reminds us that sometimes, the things we think we want can ultimately lead us down a path of destruction.
