Find Your MUSE: Sapphira Vee – Metamorph

Distortion Productions artist Sapphira Vee presents her new single “Metamorph” With a dark electronic staccato beat combined with the ethereal singing of the songstress, this song displays her talents as a songwriter as well as musician. The single is something that is both dreamy and with a little edge to it. The video displays her walking through various locations, sometimes sitting on a bed, and reaching out as she passes by a mysterious stranger. As...

Find Your MUSE: Missfit Toys – Submit to Slaughter

Hailing from Florida, Missfit Toys is an industrial band that recently joined Distortion Productions and then subsequently released a new album. They dropped a music video for one of the tracks called “Submit to Slaughter”. It starts with a layer of quiet dread before the pummeling beats kick in. Discordant synths join in as well as menacing vocals, and all of that makes for one heck of a juicy track. This is aggrotech at its...

An Evening with Eva X and Friends

This past Tuesday November 22nd, Distortion Productions hosted their last show of 2022 at the Black Forge Coffee in Mckees Rocks, PA. It was a solemn night with the fact this would be their final show of the year, but it also made its mark as a way to show everything they have accomplished and gave us a proper introduction to one of the artists that recently joined their roster, Eva X. To start the...

Through the Looking Glass: AL1CE As Above Tour

There is a saying that goes along the lines ‘you can walk in and decide to influence the room no matter where you go’. I can say I experienced that many times, and on Sunday when I walked into Black Forge Coffee House in Mckees Rocks, PA, it was one of those times. I knew it would be special. Distortion Productions was hosting AL1CE for their Pittsburgh stop during their As Above Tour. Once everyone...

Find Your MUSE: Amulet – Last Ditch (Stabbing Westward Remix)

After recently signing to Distortion Productions, dark electro band Amulet wanted to give a taste of what they are all about, and released a video for “Last Ditch”, remixed by Stabbing Westward. Backed by a dreamy booming beat, the ethereal vocals guide us through the song until it gets to the chorus. That is when the guitars kick in, and just adds a nice icing on the cake. The lead singer Stephanie Stryker has some...

Front 242 Black to Square One Final US Tour

This past Friday September 9th was the start of the final US tour of Front 242 at Mr. Smalls Theatre in Millvale, PA. Anticipation was at his highest, and let me say, this was yet another crucial summer concert moment for the books. It was high capacity crowd for the evening, and once everyone got settled in, Distortion Productions act Red Lokust took the stage to get the evening started on the right foot. They...

Distortion Productions: Solar Fake/Whorticulture/Tragic Impulse

This past Wednesday August 31, I attended the 201st show presented by Distortion Productions which was held at Black Forge Coffee House in Mckees Rocks, PA. It was to be a pretty hype evening, with three pretty solid acts. I would say it was the best way to end August, and put a cap on a very busy summer concert season. Pittsburgh based electro-industrial band Tragic Impulse was the opening the evening, and their set...

Hocico/Absynthe of Faith/Missfit Toys(Event Review]

After two years, it is safe to say that the industrial scene is back in Pittsburgh at a venue that is very conductive to that experience. Black Forge Coffee House II – McKees Rocks is a venue that I mostly experienced with their coffee and various markets they have hosted. I can safely say it makes for a very awesome and intimate live music venue as well. Distortion Productions owner Jim Semonik made the smart...
