HYPOXIA – Defiance LP

New York City-based death metal quintet HYPOXIA – formed by members of Monstrosity, Vile, Secrecy, Castrator, Total Fucking Destruction, and more – returns with their third album, Defiance. The record will be released in February through Selfmadegod Records, who today unveils the cover art, track listing, preorders, and a lyric video for the lead single, “Bleed For Blasphemy.”

HYPOXIA was founded in 2008 by drummer Carolina Perez and guitarist Carlos Arboleda, the band’s sound mainly influenced by bands like Sepultura, Death, Vader, Sinister, Suffocation, and more. Their first demo, The Purge, was released in 2011, followed by the Public Execution EP in 2013. Both releases caught the attention of the death metal underground, and the awareness magnified many times over through the release of their Despondent Death debut album, released in 2015 by Ultimate Massacre Productions, and its savage follow-up Abhorrent Disease, released in 2019 by Selfmadegod Records.

Highly recommended for fans of early MORBID ANGEL, DEATH, SLAYER, SEPULTURA, VADER.
