When Disinterment, a pioneer brutal death metal band in the Philippines, birthed Defiled Covenant in the rotting womb of 2000, they didn’t just drop an album—they exhumed the very soul of Filipino death metal and fed it to the flames. Spawned from the decaying underbelly of the 90s death metal Philippines scene, this sonic abomination didn’t just stay buried—it clawed its way into the U.S. underground from 2002 to 2007, infecting New York, Florida, and California like a blood plague.
Their later conjurings—Demoniacal Dispel (2003) and Domination Defied (2004)—only thickened the mythos. But Defiled Covenant remains their sacrilegious scripture: eleven tracks of unrelenting savagery where "Desecrated Remnants" and "Desolate Damnation" embodying a rare blend of ruthlessness and transcendence, like a napalm baptism under a moonless sky.—this is brutal death metal from the Philippines. This wasn’t entry-level aggression—it was weaponized art.
Summoned from Manila’s infernal pit, Disinterment bled their legend into sweat-slicked haunts like Club Dredd, unleashing live ceremonies of sonic carnage and synchronized whiplash. Their presence was war incarnate—feral, unhinged, and soaked in sacrilege. In a decade bloated with posers, Defiled Covenant remains a desecrated altar to the gods of gore—a towering monument proving why Disinterment band reigns eternal as a pioneer death metal band in the Philippines.
