Horror Beyond Horror CD Digipak

Prepare to plunge into a vortex of unadulterated brutality with DEFILED’s latest offering, Horror Beyond Horror. Since clawing their way out of Tokyo’s grim underbelly in 1992, DEFILED has relentlessly carved a bloody swath across the global death metal scene with bone-crushing aggression and intricate artistry. Now, with Horror Beyond Horror, these seasoned demons of death deliver a cataclysmic new chapter—an album where every track is a grotesque exploration into the depths of human depravity.

Fusing old-school death metal savagery with elements of technical thrash and progressive psychosis, Horror Beyond Horror invites you to experience extremes. Surrender to the frantic onslaught of “To See Behind The Wall,” get lost in the sinister grooves of “Syndicate,” and submit to the relentless riff avalanche of “Smoke and Mirrors.” This album is not just meant to be heard—it’s meant to be played loud, immersing you in a maelstrom of sound that challenges reality itself.

Horror Beyond Horror was recorded at Studio Zot in Tokyo, Japan, and meticulously produced by Yusuke Sumita. Engineering was handled by Shinichiro Hamada and Keisuke Hamada, while the album was mixed and mastered by Kenji Kikuchi at Studio Nest in Chiba, Japan. The force behind the album is the formidable lineup of DEFILED:

• Shinichiro Hamada – Vocals, Guitar
• Yusuke Sumita – Guitar
• Takachika Nakajima – Bass
• Keisuke Hamada – Drums

Complementing the sonic onslaught is the striking cover artwork by Wes Benscoter, capturing the very essence of horror and mayhem.

Released on September 20, 2024, Horror Beyond Horror stands as a testament to DEFILED’s enduring power and uncompromising vision. Plug in, turn it up, and let the madness set you free—the only thing more brutal than reality is this album
