Defiled

Certainly not the normal style of metal that usually comes from Japan, Defiled deal in the sort of twisted, jumpy death metal more often associated with French Canadian death metal (a la Gorguts or Cryptopsy). The arrangements are a bit disjointed, as they never stay with one riff for more than a few seconds and the songs lack any sort of identity, though there are moments of dischordant riffing that is pretty interesting. These guys aren't for everyone, and even some in the death metal camp may find them a bit too out-there, but fans of the aforementioned bands will surely like Defiled.
