Kerrang!(4/5)[3]

"The Defiled's meld of industrial, Marilyn Manson-esque swagger with a more serrated hardcore edge has seen them become lauded as one of the UK's most aggressively vital new live bands," according to Kerrang!'s October 2009 review. "Dealing exclusively in a vicious-chorus/big-verse songwriting format, the short running time is more blast than whimper... What you discover is a band with more witty lyrical nous and thematic depth than their energetic stage presence would suggest," wrote reviewer Sam Law, giving it 4 K's out of 5.[3]
