Defiled

■Defiled Biography■

When it comes to straight-forward, bone-crushing death metal, Tokyo’s Defiled delivers! ‘The Highest Level’ stays true to the traditional death metal formula, while the band’s gritty songwriting approach lends to its authenticity. Defiled attempts to make no frills with this new full-length, instead speaking directly to the sensibility of old school death metal fanatics who are simply looking for some face-melting violence!
The early 90s was a crucial and formative time for death metal, a genre that started to predominantly emerge in the west.Defiled was taking a cue from its peers and became one of Asia’s leading purveyors during the genre’s early inception. Upon releasing a series of demos and EPs during the mid-90s, the Japanese powerhouse finally released its first full-length, ‘Erupted Wrath,’. Upon its release, the band broke out of Asia and started to make its debut in America across the extreme metal fest circuit – performing twice at Milwaukee Metal Fest as well as appearing at November to Dismember in Texas. The band kept busy during the turn of the century while continuing to build their profile and dominate metal audiences around the globe.
The band is ready to unleash another pummeling offering onto the masses. ‘The Highest Level’ still carries the same time-tested formula that Defiled established three decades ago, remaining true to their identity and still carrying the torch as one of the genre’s founding fathers.
