It is with great regret that we announce the departure of
Mitch 'Lanky' Rogers from the Defamer brood. Mitch is and will always remain one of our closest friends, and we feel nothing but honoured to have shared stages, jam rooms, tour buses and cramped airline seats with such a talented guitarist and amazing dude. Real life is something of a bitch when it comes to dedicated bands, always in the way and rarely conquerable, but onwards we battle! Mitch's final shred fest on-stage will be at the crushing BASTARDFEST show on Saturday the 28th of August at the Globe Theatre, Brisbane. Please get up the front to send off our comrade in style!
But it is with great excitement we announce the addition of
Byron Struck to our death metal family. Having shared stages when Byron was playing in seminal black metal outfit
Oracle of the Void, being on tour together and becoming great friends, we're all very excited to so quickly and adequately fill such a overwhelming gap in our fold.
Defamer is nearing completion of their second album as a follow up to 2009's debut offering
Chasm of which one track "The Great Rift" can be heard on our myspace and also purchased on a 7" split with Rookwood through Obsidian Records.
