OFFICIAL RELEASE DAY: #DefectDesigner (Norway) - Depressants (Progressive/Avant-garde Death Metal) The new Defect Designer release is the band's most outrageous and diverse one yet but you probably got some idea of that just by looking at the odd, colourful artwork for a death metal album. It's unpredictable, wild, and exhilarating. Some of the parts are sure to take you aback. Well, check it out for yourself now!

The new @defectdesigner album drops this week! Watch out for this one! ► "Continuing to break the barriers of Progressive Death Metal, this unstoppable trio returns with their fourth studio album, sounding wildly diverse and refreshing" - #TheHeadbangingMoose Bandcamp - defectdesignerband.bandcamp.… Review link - theheadbangingmoose.com/2026…

#DefectDesigner have premiered a new song called "Scorching The Rival Pogonomyrmex Burrows" via @no_singing! ► "Equal parts head-spinning, muscle-moving, and venomously vicious, it’s one more vivid (and technically virtuosic) sign of just how tremendous this new album really is." Stores - linktr.ee/transcendingobscur… Premiere - nocleansinging.com/2026/04/2…

The new #DefectDesigner song gets written about by @no_singing, and they certainly acknowledge its James Bond influence! - "Sure enough, near the four-minute mark we get the James Bond theme! And then the music goes into carnival dancing mode, but with one more tip of the hat to that theme. Why the hell not?"

NEW RELEASE PREORDER: #DefectDesigner (Norway) - Depressants (Progressive Death Metal) Video stream #1 - youtube.com/watch?v=WOgS8dRy… Video stream #2 (new song!) - youtube.com/watch?v=1Pbjx2yJ… Bandcamp - defectdesignerband.bandcamp.… Main store - tometal.com EU store - eu.tometal.com Info - Defect Designer have kept progressing with each album and they seem to have reached the acme with this one. It's wildly diverse and refreshing while retaining their core sound; it's a marvel how they continue to remain death metal or keep reverting to it after unabashedly exploring various sounds and imbibe influences from so many unrelated and unexpected styles. No song is redundant or sounding too similar at this point; they have something or the other hidden in it, often towards the end. This is decidedly their most ambitious album and they've outdone themselves on this one to offer a singular, exhilarating experience for the true prog-minded fans of the style. With the music on "Depressants" being as colourful as the Ian Miller artwork, it is anything but what the album title suggests - that's just the classic tongue-in-cheek Defect Designer for you. For fans of - Diskord, Februus, Demilich, Contrastic, Swelling Repulsion, Disharmonic Orchestra Line up - Dmitry Sukhinin (Diskord) - Guitars, vocals, music, lyrics Martin Storm-Olsen - Bass, vocals, lyrics, sound engineering Eugene Ryabchenko (Fleshgod Apocalypse) - Drums Artwork by Ian Miller's Fantastic Art (Ulthar)

I've been working on the 2026 label sampler which is turning out to be quite promising. As can be expected, there's a good deal of diversity on it - bands both old and new are doing what they do best. Several bands with releases out this year will be a part of it as their music couldn't be a part of the 2025 sampler, there will be familiar label bands putting out new albums (@ScalarProcess, #Viande, #ChaosMotion, #Februus, #Dysgnostic, #CutterredFlesh, @defectdesigner, #Haxprocess), and there will only be a few new-ish signings. Keep an eye out for it when it drops in early January!

A year back we released this quirky, upbeat, and unpredictable death metal album from @defectdesigner which shares a member with the exalted Norwegian band @DiskordNorway. The album featured a stunningly intricate album from none other than Ian Miller. Check it out here - defectdesignerband.bandcamp.… There might just be a new Defect Designer album this year and it's going to be heavier and just as whacky!

Thanks to Matt Creekmore from the US for sharing this beautiful pic of the new @VorgaBand vinyl! They're all sold out now but all those who've preordered it shouldn't be too disappointed! Watch out for shipping notifications of LPs of @THELASTOFLUCY, #CutterredFlesh, @defectdesigner and #FathomlessRitual! And it's always a good idea to preorder them before it's too late!
