Product Description
Synopsis: When it comes to Japanese death metal, there's no more shrewd master than DEFILED. Since beginning their apprenticeship in the world's most vulgar art form in the early 90s, the band has toured everywhere, from their birthplace Tokyo to Milwaukee Metal Fest, alongside bands like MAYHEM, INCANTATION, MORBID ANGEL, and CANNIBAL CORPSE. Calling themselves the samurai of death metal, they've been destroying their top-tier adversaries for 30 years. Horror Beyond Horror is a kick-the-ass masterpiece that only true masters can deliver. DEFILED first took to the stage in 1995, and it took them nearly a decade to unleash their rage on their debut album. However, since the band's lineup solidified around original member Yusuke Sumita, they've stopped looking back on or even praising their battles. Horror Beyond Horror follows their latest album, which Metal Injection has named one of the must-see releases of 2023. Those who took The Highest Level at face value will be pleasantly surprised to learn that DEFILED has simply clothed their blades in yet another layer of blood. While "To See Behind the Wall" is the final boss of Horror Beyond Horror, the album's first single plunges into battle without wasting a beat, backed by a barrage of old-school death metal. Whether riffs are chopped and chopped or furiously fast solos are launched, the riffs take no prisoner. Amidst the flying blast beats, Shinichiro Hamada screams, "This is the way to annihilate you all," and then unleashes that scream. The Japanese edition includes a bonus track of live recordings from 2022. Tracklist: 1. Smoke and Mirrors 2. Horror Beyond Horror 3. Syndicate 4. The Alchemy 5. Demagogue 6. The Terminal Phase 7.
