While an active member of its golden era, DEFILED are neither relics nor custodians for old-school death metal. Like the Japanese salamander, the Tokyo legends have evolved in isolation away from scenes or trends. The band\u0092s ninth album continues their mastery of the form, but \u0091Altered State\u0092 bears only a passing resemblance to the genre\u0092s past or present.
\nAfter hearing them pound out three albums in four years, metalheads would be forgiven for assuming DEFILED had reached the highest level, that there were no horrors left for them to reveal. \u0091Altered State\u0092 quickly quiets any leftover suspicions. Lead single \u0093Portal\u0094 opens with a reminder that the band can sharpen even traditional riffs before breaking into a series of tempo shifts that unlock another plane of existence. Though still influenced by sounds that came out of the underground during the \u009180s and \u009190s, the album delves even deeper into their psychic perception of our warped reality. Occultists gather around the shapeshifting groove that seizes hold over \u0093Obsession\u0094. \u0091Altered State\u0092 isn\u0092t afraid to wind through the darkest and most mysterious corners of our collective consciousness. But listen closely to DEFILED and all secrets will be revealed. \u0093Receive the power\u0094, the band command on the album\u0092s title track with a chaos that only they can control.
\nOn \u0091Altered State\u0092, DEFILED unleash a dizzying blast of death metal straight from the future.<\/p>\n
