Hailing from the land of "The Rising Sun" Tokyo's Defiled was
birthed in 1992. Being based in such a big crazy city, the Defiled
sound is a product of their surroundings. Technical, brutal and
precise the band manages to stay unique in a genre that is
typically dominated by the western world.The earth witnessed
the release
of two demos in the early 90's and one self financed
mini CD titled
"Defeat of Sanity" in 94. This paved the way for
the band's multiple
live shows that can only be described as
"devastating"!
These have included opening slots for the likes
of Cannibal Corpse
in their homeland of Japan in 96, and on
frequent international tours.
In 98, the band toured the states
with genre legends Incantation,
and in Japan with Testament,
Morbid Angel, Vader and Arch Enemy.
These tours brought
Defiled a lot of intense publicity for sure.1999 saw the release
of the bands fist full length recording
"Erupted Wrath" on U.S.
based Nightfall/Terrorizer Records.
Recorded by Brian Griffin
(ex-Broken Hope, Em Symphonia) at
Quali-Tone Studios in
Chicago and mixed by non other than
Genre Legend Jim Morris
at Morris Sound Studio in Tampa
Florida.The same year saw
Japan's first band ever to play North America's
Milwaukee
Metalfest and New Jersey Metal Meltdown, which they
have
played now for four consecutive years! In 2000, toured Europe
for three weeks with Dementor and Malaysia with Sil Khannaz.
In 2001, released the full length "Ugliness Revealed". Once again
mixed by Tom Morris at Morris Sound the record saw release via
the U.S. based Baphomet Records through Necropolis. The record
had great responses from all over the world, and even future
established the bands reputation for quality, yet chaotic music.
In 2002, Season of Mist (France) joins forces with the band and
records the third album "Divination", once again mixed by genre
legend Jim Morris. Which was unleashed on the world May 12th
2003.In 2004, toured 19 countires in Europe for five weeks with
Norweigan black metal legend Mayhem and got huge successes.
Get ready for the severe Brutal Death Metal attack from the East!!
For the sun is no longer the brightest thing to arise from the Eastern
lands, and shall forever scorch the earth!
