Background information about 'Altered State'

Defiled have once again proven why they remain one of Japan's most formidable death metal exports with their ninth studio offering. "Altered State" doesn't just continue their legacy – it completely redefines what we thought we knew about these Tokyo legends. This isn't your typical old-school worship; this is death metal evolution in its purest form, crafted by masters who've spent decades perfecting their unholy craft.

From the moment "Portal" tears through your speakers with its razor-sharp riffs and mind-bending tempo shifts, you know you're in for something extraordinary. The album's title track commands you to "receive the power" with an authority that only Defiled can wield, while tracks like "Obsession" showcase their ability to weave occult atmospheres around shapeshifting grooves that'll leave you questioning reality itself. Artwork by the legendary Wes Benscoter perfectly captures the album's descent into our collective consciousness's darkest corners.

For fans of:
Atheist, Monstrosity, Cryptopsy
