Australian groove Death metal force DISTORTA present their new striking video “When the War is Over”, that blends onstage power with offstage antics — the track is taken from their upcoming EP Deadman, set for release on 05 September 2025 via Wormholedeath.
The video offers a high-energy collage of live show footage, capturing the band in their element — onstage and fully unleashed — mixed with chaotic, candid clips of Dave and Chris letting loose, showing their lighter side through spontaneous dance moves and unfiltered fun.
Musically, the track was written with what they describe as “rare, almost effortless intensity.” The melodic guitars seemed to summon the lyrics, culminating in the haunting, anthemic chant:
“When. The. War. Is. O-ver.”
Jim penned the chorus, with Dimmy shaping the rest into a powerful statement on resilience, identity, and conviction. It’s about fighting the battles that matter — because peace only comes once you’ve stood your ground.
“Deadman” EP
Recorded entirely in a home studio in Ballarat, Australia, Deadman reflects a spirit of full creative freedom and DIY determination.

DISTORTA are also stoked to announce the addition of Liam Frost-Camilleri to the lineup. He steps in following the departure of Dom Davey due to health reasons. Known as a driving force in Victoria’s metal community, Frosty has been instrumental in organising major festivals like Beyond Black, which brings awareness to mental health through heavy music. With a deep well of experience as guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter for bands like Fall and Resist and Yeah Sick, Frosty brings a brutal edge to both guitar and vocals. When paired with lead vocalist Dmitry, the result is a sonic assault — tight, aggressive, and impossible to ignore.
Welcome aboard, Frosty. Let’s make some noise.
