Thus Defiled - Rehearsal 28.04.1994


Thus Defiled - Rehearsal 28th April 1994
1)
Darkness Rape the Tranquil Shore of Eternity
2) The Final Sunrise

Re-reuploaded

Another rehearsal, this one was contributed by brother Grev, thank you! Thus Defiled is one of the UK's longest running 2nd wave black metal bands yet has always remained somewhat unknown, at least compared to certain landmates of theirs. Here are two rehearsal tracks, first of which appeared on their debut album "Through the Impure Veil of Dawn" and second... nowhere, unless they changed the name later (likely). I'm personally more familiar with the older Thus Defiled material, but not intimate so I don't recognize it as something else. No cover for this one, I used the 2nd demo era logo here.

The recording has a pretty good rehearsal sound, though I have to say the (growling) vocals bleed unto everything quite a bit. Or actually they sort of sink into everything else and kind of mingle... well listen for yourselves, I found my ear adjusting to this rather quickly. Other than that I'd say it sounds better than many rehearsal demos. And better than several demos too. The first track is melodic and quite melancholic, while the second one starts a bit more bombastic and turns fast and ferocious, brutal even. Now I feel like listening to more Thus Defiled and writing less so end here. Recommended for both black and death metal listeners.

Yes... this is good. Works well for falling asleep over the keyboard too. Not a bad thing for black metal.

@'Owl:

Falling asleep where you sit, eh? Not sure if that's considered a good thing usually.

Hei,

Sad to see that all the blog sites are dying from file share controlling.

Just hoping you have the time to re-upload this rehearsal somewhere. I missed it while it was up, and would really love to hear it!

Also if you happen to have the first demo... that would be awesome too.

Yes, and it is sad how old lazy men cannot be bothered to reupload until someone makes a request! It's done now, The Woodman's Axe had the first TD demo, courtesy of Matt Witchclan, not too long ago. Though I recall he had problems with his links too.

Maybe I should repost it here at AC.
