Distorted Wonderland started as the brainchild of singer Olof Lindgren and bass player Axel Karlsson. After playing together in Swedish glam band Overnight Sensation, they wanted to move on into a different direction. The idea was to combine strong melodies with hard and heavy riffs. When Olof and Axel were doing the backup vocals on Swedish rockers Hardcore Superstar's fourth album, they felt inspired and that the time was right for a new band. As a side project, they spent time writing songs and pre-producing the material until the pieces fell into place. Together with Petter Karlsson on the drums and Fredrik Lundstedt on guitar they started to record their self titled first album; Distorted Wonderland. A video was also shot on "Raised On Rock N' Roll".   In 2009 Overnight Sensation decided to split. Now Olof and Axel could focus on Distorted Wonderland and the album was finally finished in early 2010. The songs on the album combine heavy rock with melodic choruses.
