Japanese death metal band Defiled has created a fierce sonic assault on the latest release “Infinite Regress” so you better get ready to headbang relentlessly while listening to this album.
“Divide and Conquer” drags you straight into a chaotic sonic realm as the true death metal spirit feels absolutely dominant through the galloping rhythmic patterns confidently built by pummeling drums and crunchy guitar riffs.
While maintaining a blistering groovy approach “Tragedy” stands out for the darkened mood and the technical guitar leads that often enrich the main hostile rhythmic ensemble diligently following the infamous aggressive death metal formula.
The insane rhythmic core of “Masses In Chaos” certainly matches the title as the intense guitar riffs lead to ravenous grooves that just seem unstoppable and the cavernous growls manage to add some extra raw energy.
“Aftermath” might be a short track but you cannot overlook the unrestrained riffage which combines claustrophobic vibes and a belligerent grindcore attitude leading to a groovy super heavy momentum.
As you would expect “Ignorant” continues to rely on cohesive frantic rhythmic blasts and vicious growls ready to trigger a moshpit but there are some interesting atmospheric twists.
On “Slaverobot” atmospheric layers add some cool ominous vibes to the massive spiteful rhythmic march that still follows a malevolent fast sonic pathway.
The title track offers cold doom tinged guitar melodies which successfully brings some diversity within the furious combo of unrestrained riffs and wrathful drum blasts.
Overall Defiled stay true to ferocious old school death metal dynamics therefore it’s not surprising to hear how on “Infinite Regress” they manage to keep it brutal with evident enthusiasm and confidence.
