Tokyo’s Death Metal act DEFILED, have unveiled an official music video for its new single “Red World”. The track is taken from the band’s forthcoming album “The Highest Level”, out on April 28th via Season Of Mist.
DEFILED comments: “The small, claustrophobic room in this video may remind you of Room 101 in the movie ‘1984.’ If so, you are right. Haven’t you ever felt that since Covid, the world has become more and more surveillance oriented and peer pressure driven? We made this song to capture the update in the world. However, it is not a specific condemnation of any particular country or group. We deliberately try to construct a perspective that is abstract and metaphorical. The themes we deal with are heavy and dark, and they are filled with our own irony. But we hope the world will become a better place. We hope you enjoy the video.”
Moreover, 2023 marks a seminal year for DEFILED as it celebrates three decades since the release of their first demo and twenty years since the Japanese Death dealers formed a union with Season of Mist!
The band will be celebrating this release with a headlining tour of Japan starting from April 28 until it concludes on May 10th. Then, the band will join HATE and VADER for three Japanese dates in June.
