Distorted Sound Magazine: Issue 134
UNPEOPLE land the cover of Issue 134 of Distorted Sound Magazine!
Well, here we are! Welcome to November and a slightly delayed launch to Issue 134 of Distorted Sound Magazine. As we approach the end of 2026, it’s been an incredibly turbulent year but what has remained is our passion for covering the best heavy music our world has to offer.
Gracing our cover this month, I’m delighted to welcome UNPEOPLE. A band on the meteoric rise on our shores and with their hook laden debut album, they are bound for greatness. In our big cover interview, we sit down with the band to dissect their journey thus far, their debut album, and so much more.
Elsewhere, we bring you interview with a range of bands across the heavy music spectrum. Melodic death metal heavyweights AMON AMARTH, Faroese artist EIVØR, Swedish breakout metalcore outfit IMMINENCE, post-metallers HIPPOTRAKTOR. You get the picture. Throw in new interviews with the likes of HONEY REVENGE, HARLOTT, ANBERLIN, STONED JESUS and so much more, there’s something for everyone to discover in this month’s issue!
Our Introducing spotlight shines on VOID BELOW and ELFTRAPS while our Heavy Music History series sees us don the black eyeliner and bask in MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE’s The Black Parade. All that, plus a stack of new reviews. Enjoy!
