The Defiled are a 5-piece metal band from London, England mixing groove-laden hardcore/metal with electronic influences. They have been described by Kerrang! magazine as "The saviours of UK Metal". The band have built a fanbase following support slots with bands such as Murderdolls, Black Veil Brides The 69 Eyes, Static-X and Deathstars.
They recently finished their second headline tour, entitled "Black Death" which finished on Saturday, 5 November 2011. These gigs have earned the band a reputation for their energetic and chaotic live shows.
With a series of sought-after demos trading between fans, the band released their first EP (1888) in 2009, and released their full album Grave Times for free, in the January issue of Metal Hammer. The Deluxe edition of the album (including a bonus disc), which included the 1888 ReWorks EP and 2 music videos, was released on 14 February 2011.
The Defiled headlined the Jagermeister stage at Sonisphere in July 2011 and opened the main stage at Bloodstock Open Air in August of the same year. They have also been nominated for the Best New British Band award in the Metal Hammer Golden Gods awards.[3]
