DEFECTO releasing music video for first single “Sovereign”

“Defecto is the first truly epic symphonic Rock / Metal band in Denmark, and is an export that is bound to make it on the international scene”

– Jan Langhoff, producer

The unique musical expression of DEFECTO is all about creating powerful progressive music without sacrificing songwriting or melodies, having band members that each play with superior musical and technical abilities. Think a mix between the classic Metallica and modern sound and melodies of Trivium. Thrown in with some delightfully instrumental intricacies like Dream Theater, and symphonic elements from Nightwish. Add the vocal prowess of Russel Allan, James Hetfield and Mikael Åkerfeldt into one singer, and what you’ve got is an epic combo of melodic and catchy, grandiose and technical, yet crushingly heavy metal that is DEFECTO. They are now ready to unleash their first music video for the song “Sovereign”:

DEFECTO’s debut-EP ‘Defecto’ released in 2012 showcased an ambitious band and was acclaimed by both Danish and international reviewers alike. For this solid piece of work the band was honored with a “Best Metal Act 2012”-award in Copenhagen by Underground Music Awards.

Defecto’s debut album is recorded and produced by none-other than international celebrity producers Flemming Rasmussen (Metallica) and Jan Langhoff, in Flemming’s own studio, mixed in collaboration with frontman, guitarist, lead singer and overall musical prodigy Nicklas Sonne (also frontman in metal band Malrun). This album’s got what no other metal band in Denmark can deliver – modern, groovy, progressive and symphonic heavy metal with an accessible sound and melodies that’ll stay in your head from the first listen.


The new album is set for release on march 19th 2016.
