The sound of the band is a melting pot of the musical preferences and roots of its members ; from Bay Area trash (Exodus, Testament and Machine Head), to heavy metal (Motorhead) and hardcore (Pro Pain and Hatebreed), with sometimes a little death metal (Entombed). Anything goes, as long as it sounds well and heavy. In october 2003 Peter Gaelens (ex-Cowboys&Aliens), Olivier Claeys (ex-Gallow and ex-Zero Tolerance) and Hans Vancouillie (ex-Gallow and ex-Zero Tolerance) join forces and start a new band called Distorted. One month later Jrgen Elias joins the band. In march 04 they record a mini-cd (6 tracks) Devil to pay at the HYPE studios in Mechelen with producer Dee J (La Muerte). The cd is released in may on the WATTSON record label. In 2004 and 2005 Distorted played a whole bunch of gigs with a whole bunch of bands, such as Do or die, After All, In-Quest, Peter Pan Speedrock, Oceans Of Sadness, Morda. .
