Technical Death Metal

Darkane (formerly known as Agretator) is a Melodic Death / Thrash Metal band formed in Helsingborg, Sweden in 1998. The name Darkane is a portmanteau of the words "dark" and "arcane". The first album featured Lawrence Mackory, who had a much more death metal influenced voice. After 1998's Rusted Angel, Andreas Sydow was recruited, and handled vocals on the next three albums, Insanity, Expanding Senses, and Layers of Lies. He decided to leave the band in 2007 and Jens Broman (Construcdead, The Defaced) took his place for Demonic Art.

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.
