Defiled

The Profile

Defiled is a Japanese death metal band formed in Tokyo in 1992, known for highly technical, complex arrangements and an unforgiving brutal edge. Their catalog includes albums such as Erupted Wrath, Ugliness Revealed, Divination, In Crisis, Towards Inevitable Ruin, Infinite Regress, and Horror Beyond Horror.

Origin: Tokyo, Japan. Active since 1992. Recognized for technical/brutal death metal and intense, intricate song structures.

One review examines Defiled’s Ugliness Revealed as a technically dazzling yet chaotic slab of brutal/technical death metal. The writing highlights labyrinthine riffs, unconventional drumming, deep growls, and dense structures, but criticizes production and cohesion. Comparisons touch on mathcore and even free jazz levels of freedom. Lyrics receive praise for elegance and bite.
