Defiled

Iida,.Nagano @ Space Tama tonight!

Sea of Japan !

We had an incredible show in Fussa last night! Huge thanks to everyone who came out on a weeknight and supported us. We truly appreciate you taking the time to listen to our music.

The intimate setting made the show an absolute pleasure to play. The atmosphere really reminds us of some of the venues in Okinawa—there’s something uniquely exotic and special about it.

We’ll definitely be back.

Tonight, we’ll be playing at Earthdom. If you’re around, we’d love to see you there!

Weekday madness. The absolute best kind of madness. That’s El Puente magic.
A huge thank you to all the incredible bands who shared the stage with us, to Shiggy-san and the wonderful staff, and to everyone who came out and listened. Every single band brought such an insane amount of energy! It was a perfect night filled with great conversations, lots of laughs, and unforgettable moments.

We had the incredible honor of opening for death metal legends Incantation at their Tokyo show last night!

We’ll always be grateful to them for giving us the opportunity to join their U.S. tour back in 1998, so sharing the stage with them again was truly special.

A huge thank you to John McEntee and the entire Incantation camp for coming to Japan and delivering such a crushing performance. We’d also like to extend our deepest gratitude to Yama-san at Evoken de Valhall Production and everyone involved behind the scenes for making this unforgettable night possible.

And of course, thank you to everyone who came out and supported the show. We truly appreciate it!

What an incredible night.

Our tour finale is set for Mabi, Kurashiki City, Okayama. Yes, it’s a Monday, but we’re ready to make it unforgettable. We’ll be performing alongside our friends, Zantetsu, in the very hometown of the Hamada Brothers.

We’ve been out on the streets, connecting with the local community and handing out flyers one by one. It really brings back that nervous, heart-pounding excitement of our early days. We're so curious and excited to see how everything turns out.

Please come out and share this special night with us.

DEFILED have always sounded like the inside of a collapsing reactor with a crushing power.
"Altered State" cranks the pressure higher.
A new transmission from the upcoming album has arrived, wired with precision violence and that unmistakable Tokyo death metal pulse that feels built for concrete bunkers and sleepless highways.
The new single is out now via
Season of Mist.

The new album 'Altered State' is out June 12, 2026.

A few days ago, I grabbed a couple of beers and hung out with Nobu from Hebi Katana. He was kind enough to agree to include our flyers at the upcoming Tokyo Doom Fest, which he organizes. They’re currently out on tour and absolutely killing it, so please show them some love and support!

Even though we come from very different musical backgrounds, it’s great to see our scenes cross paths and connect. Moments like this are one of the many reasons I’m so grateful to be in a band.

Last night, I made my way to Shibuya to catch Obscura in action. We once shared a three-week journey together on a tour bus through Europe, so seeing them perform was deeply moving. It proves that no matter how the lineup evolves, a band will always forge ahead if the bandleader possesses a clear conviction. I took great inspiration from them. My utmost gratitude goes out to Bastien at SWDJ for his gracious arrangements. Thank you very much.
