Absolute Defiance was formed in February 1998 in Jakarta, Indonesia under the name of Vile by Bimo (bass), along with Ade (guitar), Anto (drums) and Dedi (vocals). After playing one gig, Dedi left the band and got replaced by Sapto (ex-Sadistis). At that time they used to cover some of their favorite songs from bands like Deeds of Flesh, Dying Fetus and Cryptopsy. Later, after some internal problems a new inception of the band began when Ghebes (drums) and Edwin (bass) joined the band. They composed and intensively rehearsed several new songs and got signed for a tape release with Dementia records (Jakarta), which they recorded in September 1999. The music was brutal death metal and the lyrics dealt with social phenomena such as people suffering under the military atrocities, genocides, massacres and tyranny.
The great feedback of the tape took the band to the next level within the local and even international underground scene. Finally, they found a new vocalist named Fahmi (ex-bassist of Impious from Indonesia) late January 2000. With this line-up, Vile performed numerous gigs. The also featured on numerous compilations and got interviewed by a lot of fanzine and webzines. After a full year of musical activities, Ghebes (drums) decided to retire in early 2001. He got replaced by Andyan (Siksakubur). In August 2001, Fahmi got replaced by Nino (Trauma).
With this new and fresh line-up, Vile recorded ten new tracks for another local tape label, named Edelweiss productions. The tape got released under the name of "Systematic terror decimation" and showed a lot of progression towards brutality and intelligent songwriting. Socio-political critical lyrics are supported by brutal US influenced death metal, much in the vein of Dying Fetus, Fleshgrind and Skinless. This came under the attention of From beyond productions (sublabel of Displeased records), which licensed the recordings from Edelweiss to be released on CD along with three bonus tracks. Due to the American band Vile, the band was forced to change their name. The new name, Absolute Defiance, is a lot more meaningful and representative to match their lyrical and musical concept.

Меня довольно сильно пропёрла эта тема. Создать первый альбом, который при этом качествен, может не каждый. Бульдозерный саунд, качественный скоростной драмс, брутальный(для косоглазого) вокал. Прописка тоже хороша, слышен каждый элемент исполнения. Слушая их альбом у меня почему-то возникают ассоциации с Suffocation. Постоянный драйв в песнях, единственное что огорчает, некоторая однообразность песен. А так очень даже гуд.
