A LIVE REVIEW FROM KERRANG! MAGAZINE:
THUS DEFILED
The Underworld, London
1.11.04
KKKKK
British black metal retakes the capital.
"We're going to take over the world" laughs Paul
Carter, relaxing backstage. Pausing to take a swig of
his beer, a smirk crosses the Thus Defiled founder's
face. "And if the world doesn't like it they can fuck
right off."
Just moments before Immemorial's death metal furies
were laying waste to the venue. But if they seem a
tough act to follow, Thus Defiled aren't following
anyone.
The lights go down, the horns go up, and without
missing a beat Carter and company stroll out and
unceremoniously proceed to bludgeon the heaving throng
with the wrathful volley of 'Spiritual Abduction'.
The sound is torrential, owing largely to Nick L's
mighty percussive hammering. Rob V's thundering bass
lines are matched by the piercing, supersonic howl of
Paul F's guitar virtuosity. But Paul Carter's
overpowering primal screams lay waste to the volume
dials, making everything that's come before - both
tonight and in years past - pale in comparison. The deafening death-grunting cheers shuddering the Underworld speak in one voice tonight. Thus Defiled conquer, and the world can fuck right off.
ALEXANDER MILAS - KERRANG!
Anything else?
"An overwhelming onslaught of vile, black-hearted majesty. Thus Defiled are supreme masters of the UK's black metal underground."
- DOM LAWSON - KERRANG! 4/5
"A unique Black Metal masterpiece of massive proportions"
- CHRIS BRUNI - BRAVE WORDS AND BLOODY KNUCKLES
"Charged with static electricity"
- THOMAS CRABTREE - METAL HAMMER - 8/10

The stuff you guys are writng is great - you deserve much more especially if you continue writing stuff like Astaroth (The Art of Balance in Darkness)...
Hi,
