Vocalist Paavo Laapotti comments:
”We wanted to start with a fiery track with a lot of kick! The song is about an individual, that has been treated like trash for his whole life. Eventually enough is enough, his feelings take over and he seeks for a revenge. He releases his anger towards his bullies and lets them know their worst enemy. ” ”We started making of the album with this song and clearly each musician had a strong vision of the outcome. I think we succeeded in giving it the chaos it needed, both with the song and the music video.”

BIOGRAPHY:
Defiled Serenity is a melodic death metal band from Loimaa, Finland. It was founded by the vocalist and Before The Dawn frontman Paavo Laapotti in 2021. The band’s music is for the fans of old In Flames, Amorphis, Amon Amarth, Dark Tranquillity etc. Their sound relies heavily on the 90’s melodeath sound, but with modern twists. The songs are filled with low growls, chunky guitars, beautiful melodies and tight rhythm sections.
They released their first stand-alone single ”Voices from the Void” in 2022 and it has reached over 25,000 streams on Spotify alone. Since then, the band has been writing new material and now it’s time to unleash their long-awaited debut album!
