Defiled bio
(Taken from Season of Mist records)
Hailing from the land of "The Rising Sun" Tokyos 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 90s and one self financed mini CD titled "Defeat of Sanity" in 94. This paved the way for the bands 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 Japans first band ever to play North Americas 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 which brought them to many lands including Malaysia, Canada and Korea, all of which garnered the band the same critical acclaim!
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.
IIn 2002, Season of Mist joined forces with the band and released third album "Divination" on May 12th, 2003. The album was once again mixed by Jim Morris.
In 2004, Defiled toured 19 countries in Europe for five weeks with Norwegian black metal legend Mayhem and got huge success.
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 !
