Distorted Reality was formed by Martha M. Arce from Miami , USA and Christian Kobusch from Berlin , Germany . Martha is the former lead singer of Deep Red, (left in Jan. 2003) the American Electro-Goth formation. While on tour in Germany with Deep Red as the support for Project Pitchfork, a chance meeting would occur. After a concert in Herford , Germany , Martha and Christian met and discussed their ideas. Via e-mail they kept in touch and formed Distorted Reality in 1997. Because of the distance the production took a long time. However, as a result of good studio conditions and a mutual desire and willingness to make this project work, a collection of innovative and unique songs were created. Since their formation Distorted Reality have appeared on numerous CD compilations and radio shows mainly across North America and Europe . An array of European and American music magazines have featured Distorted Reality, hailing their talents. Among these are the German magazines Zillo, Sonic Seducer and Orkus the Belgium/American Sideline and the Russian Rockcity. In addition, Distorted Reality was ranked No. 4 in the category "Best Newcomer 2002" in the Grenzwellen.de online poll.
