Biography

The Defaced was born in late 1999 after the members had broken off with their pasts in different local acts. The line-up proved to be molded out of hardest steel in both musicianship and friendship. Henrik Sjöwall, Mattias Svensson, Klas Ideberg (Darkane / Terror 2000), Jörgen Löfberg (Darkane) and Henry Ranta (Soilwork) started writing material for the purpose of recording a demo to be sent to labels. When several songs were ready the band hit the studio to lay down four tracks. The result turned out very well indeed which was proven with the fact that the demo was sent to only one label (Scarlet) that immediately signed the band. The Defaced started writing and preparing for the recording of their debut album, which was recorded in February 2001 in Hit-Parade studios in Örkelljunga, Sweden. The album, ”Domination Commence”, was released in September the same year in Europe and Japan, and in February 2002 in the American territories, by Nuclear Blast America. ”Domination Commence” round up tons of great reviews and the band’s reputation started to grow. Live gigs were hailed, both domestically and internationally which strengthened the reputation even further.
In August of 2002 The Defaced was once again ready to hit the studio, this time for the recording of the second album. Many things had changed for the band, in the musical expression as well as in the sound. It was evident, even at pre-production, that the new material was going bring the band’s sound and material up not just a notch, but miles above the first album.

    i discovered this band recently and i really like them, they are awesome, only i don't get it why people keep tagging them as MeloDeath, personally i think they are more of a groove metal/thrash metal, although they do have a really unique style, but i'd define it more as a groove metal thingy then melodeath...

    Personally... I think it's a really "bleh" album. I can't really put my finger on why (logically, at least), but I just don't really like it. :|

    ...perfect timing! They just released a new album called The Dying Wonders of the World

    It's because both bands have members in common. More now that they have the same vocalist. :P I haven't listened to this band in years! I should start to do it again.
