THE DEFACED Completes Work On 'Anomaly'

April 23, 2007

THE DEFACED, the Swedish band featuring DARKANE/TERROR 2000 guitarist Klas Ideberg, has posted the following message on its official web site:

"HOLY HELL!!! It's been way too long since we updated this page. But, we're right on track here people. What we've been up to since the final mastering of the [third THE DEFACED] album was made is just basically taking some time off. Charging the batteries and warming up the engine. Basically, we needed a break to get back focus.

"Delays, delays and delays into stupidity… But it definitely turned out to be on the better side of things. We got our shit together, re-recorded the vocals and re-mixed the album. And here we are, with a hell of an album for you and a management with a plan!

"On Monday April 30th we'll post samples of three new songs on www.myspace.com/thedefaced. One of them is a full song, so how about that? We'll also update with some smoking fresh photos of the new line up shot just the other week.

"We haven't talked much about what the album sounds like so far but to summarize I guess you could say that we didn't want to care about what others would say when they heard the final product. We wrote songs as they came along with all the ingredients you would expect from THE DEFACED. 'Anomaly' is more diverse, more dynamic… has more grooves, more energy, more melodies, more aggression…just more of everything. A natural progression from 'Karma in Black'. 'Anomaly' has a range from mellow to fast pounding songs. But hey: Fear not, it's all THE DEFACED.

"This sounds like the usual blah blah from a band releasing an album. But this is our honest-to-goddamn opinion that this album is right up there, all hands down. Hope you'll feel it too when you hear it.

"Our management is already in talks with labels for the release. More shipping of 'Anomaly' will reach other labels in short. Hopefully we know before this summer who's going to release 'Anomaly' and have it out to you guys early fall."
