The dark altrock/industrial reference points dart from Nine Inch Nails to Gary Numan, Depeche Mode, and Atari Teenage Riot with hints of early Marilyn Manson and Smashing Pumpkins also there. Following on from 2012s electronic ‘This Is the Reason’, ‘Distorture’ is a far more titanic beast; the experimenting with synthesizers is still there but the added full band treatment gives it something rawer, something a little more dangerous. 
 
Sitting in a dark place between a David Lynch and John Carpenter nightmare; ‘Distorture’ is an album that needs to breathe, its needs time and one that requires your fullest attention to delve into the captivating moments of calm and beauty and surrender to its shadowy presence.
