Modern metal force League Of Distortion makes a ferocious statement with its second album, Galvanize (to galvanize - to cause someone to take action, especially by shocking or exciting them suddenly), set for release via Napalm Records on 25 October. The band entered the scene two years ago with its bombastic self-titled debut album, delivering a fresh sound and unique style.
League Of Distortion's second single and title track, "Galvanize", features a powerful electronic intro, hard-hitting verses, and catchy chorus while showcasing frontwoman Ace's commanding vocals alongside guitarist Arro's dynamic riffs.
League Of Distortion on "Galvanize": "Life has its own inexplicable rules, and it feels like the world is on the verge of destruction. Each individual existence is vested with chains and challenges. Life sometimes seems like a video game - but it's not, this is real! With the song 'Galvanize', we want to encourage everyone to have the audacity to break free from what holds you back. Fight for the right thing, make a change and become the best version of yourself. Don't let your life pass by. Be brave and take action - now is the time to GALVANIZE".
Followed by the previously released single "My Hate Will Go On" (the video is HERE), the intense track is a raw onslaught embodying everything League Of Distortion stands for - sincerity, honesty and incredible power - topped by hard beats and bludgeoning guitar riffs! Interchanging and irresistible, soft and aggressive vocals fire with emotion, reflecting Ace's inner "hate" that can no longer be contained. The indisputable centre of the music is her voice, as the quartet bleeds the essence of League Of Distortion into the track - bravely reflecting on the painful, dark parts of life. But instead of falling deeper into despair, the musical force turns darkness into relentless power, taking these obstacles head-on.
Galvanize is like a brutal thunderstorm of unbound energy, guiding the listener into eternal darkness while still shining with the bright, lightning-like energy that lies within. The quartet proves it's a perfect modern metal match, combining creative performance, composition, provocation and pure emotion; the album is only the beginning of an untamable modern metal storm!
League Of Distortion on Galvanize: "We are excited and euphoric to share this second album with you! Yes, the relentless modern metal storm is raging on. Untamed and rampant we are again, openly and honestly speaking our minds, trying to process what's going on in this world, sharing very personal topics and lyrics and providing a badass sound-wall. Fearless of crossing lines and musically borders we created an album which has its own personality and sound".
Later this year, League Of Distortion will hit various stages for its first headline tour in autumn/winter, kicking off on 15 November in Cologne. Link
