Defiled – Horror Beyond Horror (Season of Mist)
Continuing their incredible run of brutality, Defiled return to the noisy fray with a brand-new slice of death metal intensity. A 14-track showcase of frenzied mania and bullish bloodletting. Where an ugly rawness permeates every inch of it, but rather than detract from the sonic savagery, it only enhances it.
