Our show in Osaka with Mayhem is complete. It was a true honor to open for the legends. We’re deeply grateful to Mayhem for having us, to Mr. Nambu from Smash, and to everyone who worked so hard behind the scenes. Our hearts are full of gratitude. Thank you all!
Unleashed the first track, “Portal” from "Altered State".
What’s your take on it? Some might say it sounds too straightforward for Defiled…but don’t be misled. That’s exactly the point. “Portal” is the oddball — a deceptive gateway into a twisted, piece of work.
This album goes deep into chaos.
Our 9th album “Altered State” will be released on June 12th via Season of Mist!
The first official video “Portal” is out now — check it out below!

On April 8, 2026, We will be appearing at the Osaka show of “Death Over Japan” (Mayhem in Osaka @ Bigcat).
It’s hard to believe it’s been 22 years since we shared a tour bus with Mayhem for 5 weeks in EU.
Big shout-out to the Necrobutcher from Mayhem and Mr.Nambu from Smash for making this happen.
Mayhem, Sigh, and @defiled.bsky.social have announced a short Japanese tour for April.
This pic was taken on Nov 17, 2015 back when the band was based in Naha, Okinawa. We had our own rehearsal studio back then, and it was pretty much nonstop jam sessions every day. November in Okinawa still feels tropical- you still need the AC on. Shot this one with banana leaves in the background.
Throwback!
Time flies… so many great memories from that night.

Defiled with Incantation and Vital Remains on the 1998 U.S. tour.
We had a blast opening for Cryptopsy in
Tokyo tonight! Huge thanks to everyone who showed up early on a weekday and checked out our set — you guys made it worth it!
Rehearsing with my own amp Mesa Boogie Mark Ⅲ again just before the shows — and it’s sounding killer.
Super deep overdriven tone.
Huge thanks to Albit for the overhaul!
There are devils that irresponsibly fuel wars.
The only ones who profit are arms merchants and their buddies, while innocent people are the ones who get caught in the crossfire and die. The ultimate tragedy.
It’s not about right or left.
The song, “Warmonger,” is about that absurd reality.

This December, Defiled return to the stage in Tokyo, joining Canadian death metal giants Cryptopsy for one night of unrelenting devastation. They'll be performing Horror Beyond Horror in their hometown, where this madness all began. Tokyo, let's end the year in chaos.
Death Metal & Beyond, our freshly curated playlist full of classic crushers and new-era heaviness.
From Tokyo's darkest alleys, DEFILED is featured on the cover. Ready to unleash a fresh dose of unadulterated savagery.
Let us know which songs you'd like us to add!

Found an old picture from an old hard disk.
The picture was taken in March 2014 in Koza, Okinawa, Japan @ Fujiyama where was just 1 min from the gate of the US base.
We had been residing in Okinawa for a decade.
We miss the good old days in Okinawa.
