Thus Defiled were originally formed in 1992 in England with the aim of creating some of the most intense and dynamic yet original black metal within the extreme music scene.
With the first full length release “Through the Impure Veil of Dawn” Thus Defiled built up a successful following in mid 90’s.
In 2002, they were voted "best unsigned band" by the readers of Terrorizer Magazine.
They have toured with such bands as Decapitated, Rotting Christ and Anata.
