    When we think about Heavy Metal, Germany is one of the first centers of the style, always revealing great names. Avistortion, formed by vocalist Joel Steve-Dawe and guitarist Soheil Bon, is the newest name to join this list, as on April 12th they presented their debut single, entitled “Twisted Game”.

    The duo delivers music based on Traditional Heavy Metal, with typical elements from the 1980s, but with a more updated, modern feel that doesn’t leave the sound dated. The main highlights are the great vocals and the quality riffs and melodies that emerge from the guitar. Without a doubt a name to watch closely in future releases.

    MUSIC FOR ALL

    It’s time to listen to a great debut, this is Avistortion, the German metal duo, who emerge with the release of “Twisted Game”, an anti-war anthem that will make you reflect on the cost of freedom. Consisting of Joel Steve-Dawe, a vocalist with a raspy and powerful voice, and Soheil Bon, a master of the guitar. Together they create a sound that is as brutal as it is hypnotic.

    “Twisted Game” throws us right into the horror of war from the first riff. The guitar grips you with its frenetic rhythm and Joel’s voice conveys the guilt and shame of violence, makes us question humanity and the true cost of war. a perfect song to make you reflect on the world we live in.

    Musically we hear an influence of classic and modern metal and hard rock, with influences from bands like Megadeth, Judas Priest and Linkin Park, the panorama is very big with this German band.

    EXPANSION RADIAL

    German band Avistortion has just released “Twisted Game”. This composition is full of arrangements that demonstrate the musicians’ remarkable versatility and maturity. What draws attention is the vocal timbre, which has a unique and striking peculiarity. With a power metal proposal, we have a strong and engaging sound.

    The melodic guitars shine, standing out with each phrase. The bass and drums accompany the proposal, giving incredible weight to the song. The combination between the voice and the instruments is fantastic, resulting in a work full of captivating melodies and a completely pleasant harmony.

    ROADIE METAL

    Something that has caught me this day this iconic and masterful song against the current war, from Berlin comes this powerful Rock Project “Avistortion” who deserves all the attention because he has created a dark and raw song that hooks with its direct lyrics that will make you question the course of the present on the edge of the abyss, Continuing wars that only cause destruction and death (a twisted game in which no one wins).

    Personally, I have loved the depth of its lyrics since it is a reflective song that makes us wonder where our humanity is, following the path of evil for stupid ideals, I really loved the vocal performance so great and that game of breakdowns sustained by tense rhythms, I like its melodic touch since it is capable of staying in the head for a long time, That’s why I recommend it because its message should be heard in every corner of the world, don’t miss it!
