The Defiled Announces New Bassist
London's The Defiled has checked in with the following update about recruiting a new bass player:
"Well, the life style that we lead in The Defiled has taken its toll on one of our brothers... It is with great regret that today we finally announce that Drex has decided to leave the band. His decision to leave was made quite a few months ago, hence why we have been so quiet in the first half of 2010. All the members will miss him for different reasons but I think he was the voice of reason and the only member that ever brought any kind of normality to the band.
"It's not all doom and gloom in the camp though! We happened to meet a reprobate called Vincent Hyde that is mentally ill enough to step up and take his rightful place in The Defiled. He’s been rehearsing with us these past few months, and we are going to be showing off our brand new sick little puppy this Sunday at Sonisphere, come get some!"

"Apparently we only clash with madina lake so we had best be seeing you all coming over to watch us! We will also be making another announcement early next week as alot of behind the scenes stuff has been happening! See you all there!"

We’ve just been asked to support the very awesome (Hed)p.e. on the home stretch of their upcoming UK tour. I paid an extortionate amount of money to a tout to watch (Hed)p.e. play at the LA2 about 10 years ago so it’s a great privilege to be sharing the stage with them this time around. We’re going to be playing the final 3 shows of their tour in London, Brighton and Southampton so hopefully we’ll see a few familiar faces along the way."

There's so many elements that go into releasing a CD (way more than we'd ever even imagined) and it only takes a minor set-back to fuck everything up as we've found out today.
"This CD has caused a lot of people a lot of stress (and has even cost one person his job so I'm told) so a massive apology goes out to everyone that's been trying to get hold of it today and a massive thank you to all the people that have been working their arses off to resolve this. I promise you that it will be worth it though when it finally comes out on the 26th ..... SORRY and thanks for your patience!"

The label’s track-record says it all really and we couldn’t be happier than to be associated with a label that’s released records by the likes of Gallows, Sylosis, Shaped By Fate, Romeo Must Die, Send More Paramedics, Architects and the list goes on. To release our debut CD through a label that is run off of a passion for good music is a huge privilege and we can’t thank them enough for helping us out with the release.
"Our debut EP 1888 is now officially due for release on October 5th and we can’t wait to get it out into everyone’s grubby little hands!
"The 5 track EP was recorded at Metropolis Studios (in a room sandwiched between Iron Maiden and Alicia Keys) and mixed at the studio where AC/DC recorded Back in Black, on the desk used to mix Radioheads OK Computer and has original artwork by the very awesome D.W. Frydendall. The countdown begins ….."

"I've had problems with my throat for the last few days and woke up this morning un-able to talk. Ive now been told by the doctor that i have tonsillitis again which means the chances of being able to talk by Saturday, let alone scream is highly unlikely.

"We recieved good news a few days after though that we have been announced to play this years Sonisphere festival! To play on the same bill alongside the likes of Metallica, NIN, Machine Head, Heaven and Hell and Alice in Chains is amazing for us.
