DEFILED will release their ninth album, Altered State, on June 12th via Season of Mist. The album's title track is out today, accompanied by a music video, and it's a reasonable entry point into what the record is doing: tempo shifts that owe more to progressive and fusion logic than death metal convention, with a structure that resists easy mapping on first listen.
The album draws lyrically from George Orwell's 1984, using its dystopian framework as a lens for surveillance, doublespeak, and mass control; territory that feels less like concept record and more like a band processing the present in the only language available to them. Musically, Defiled remain where they've always been: outside the lineage. Neither old-school revivalists nor technical death metal practitioners, they've evolved in isolation since the early '90s, and Altered State is the sharpest distillation of that yet.
