Distorted Sound Magazine: Issue 126
Issue 126 of Distorted Sound is now available!
And so here we are, technically, the last issue of 2025. Although we come to you early in the New Year slightly later than usual for our end of year issue, we’ve gone above and beyond to make sure 2025 ends on a high. And, of course, gets us ready to kick off 2026 with a bang!
Gracing our cover is returning heroes CONJURER. The band roared back into life with Unself last year, and it’s an astonishingly heavy and personal record; utterly brilliant from one of our own. We welcome the band back to the cover of DS where we dive into the new record and so much more.
Elsewhere, we have new interviews with the likes of YELLOWCARD, SPITE, PSYCHONAUT, CRYSTAL LAKE and THE PRETTY WILD, there’s wicked new bands to discover with features on DOWNSWING, COLD IN BERLIN and SEVEN BLOOD, or take a look at our top 20 albums of the year! Plus, we have Heavy Music History deep dives on MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE‘s Danger Days and 5 SECONDS OF SUMMER‘s Sounds Good Feels Good, not to mention a special career retrospective on the legendary MOTÖRHEAD!
All that and more wicked stuff. Thanks for your support in 2025, we’ve got a lot planned for this year. Let’s get stuck in! Enjoy!
