The Defiled first release was in the form of their EP 1988 on October 26 2009, which featured the single THE RESURRECTIONISTS. 

This was followed up in 2011 by their debut album GRAVE TIMES released on February 14, all though the FULL album was given away free in the January edition of METALHAMMER MAGAZINE. The single THE RESURRECTIONISTS was re-released on this album, other singles to be released of GRAVE TIMES are CALL TO ARMS and BLACK DEATH. 

I first caught wind of this band when I saw the video for the RESURRECTIONISTS late night on SUZZ TV, from their I started trying to find out as much about the band as I could, and was pleased when the album GRAVE TIMES  was given away in the January edition of METALHAMMER MAGAZINE.
The band have built up a loyal fan bass over the last couple of years, with them even being described as the saviours of British Metal, and after being the support act to the likes of STATIC X. MURDERDOLLS, BREED 77 and British Metal Heroes DRAGONFORCE you can see why.
You can catch The Defiled playing their first (of what could be many) DOWNLOAD appearances on The Pepsi Max Stage on the Friday Night. http://www.myspace.com/thedefiledENIGMA.
