MUMBAI: Straight out of Antelope Valley, High Desert-based hard rockers Distorted Fate co-headline "A Reason to Live" Teen Suicide Benefit concert at Lancaster on Friday June 17 at 7-11 p.m.

"One of the leading causes of death among teenagers is suicide," says A Reason To Live organizer, Cory Bailey. "The CDC reports that suicide is the third-leading cause of death, behind accidents and homicides, among teenagers ages 15-24, and even more disturbing, the fourth-leading cause of death for children ages 10-14. The pressure of being a teen is more difficult then when we were teens...our children will always be our future. Please take a minute to tell them how much they mean to you!"

DistortedFate is also scheduled to perform at A Tsunami Of Entertainment, a benefit for the victims of the recent Japanese earthquake, at an outdoor venue in Southern California later this Summer tba shortly. Headlining acts (twenty bands in all) also tba.

The band's recent CD release Haunting has been the recipient of some great reviews  from the hard rock media. Respected U.K.-based rock 'n' metal magazine METALLIVILLE had this to say: "Yet today we still get a few speed metal machines form the sunshine state and while most of them have turned out to be so-so imitations that just wanted to remind us the scene ever existed, one or two actually come at us with their complete heart for it intact. DistortedFate's style sets the clocks back to the good old days but with genuine intent - they're every piece as old-school as the great names of the time and do them the justice their believers hope to see."  ROCKWIRED writes, Haunting is an electrifying debut album...a band with a big thunderous metal sound that brings back a memory or two of that old metal sound before it became "new." A ten-song catalog of reflections on anger and betrayal that proudly and loudly proclaim to the world that Distorted Fate has arrived."
