REVIEW: The Defaced - Domination Commence
Scarlet Records, 2001
The Swedish
metal scene has become more varied over the years and there are still lots of
new high-quality bands popping up now and then. The Defaced is one of these
although the band members are not really new to the metal scene. In this new
constellation we can find both Henry Ranta from Soilwork and Jörgen Löfberg /
Klas Ideberg from Darkane, two bands well-known to fans of Swedish metal of
the darker kind. The Defaced do have a sound not extremely different from
neither Soilwork nor Darkane but they sound fresher and a little nu-metal
inspired. Sometimes they sound very much like Machine Head but more melodic
and with a rougher edge. The flourishing thrash/death metal scene in Sweden is
one of the most interesting in the world at the moment and it would be a
surprise to me if we will not see many more great albums from these
exceptional bands. The Defaced can still develop their sound further but
killer groovy tracks like "Sown By Greed" and "Prozak Nation" make their
debut well worth spending some money
on.
