Defect Designer

Defect Designer is a progressive death metal band from Oslo originally coming from the very middle of Russia, Akademgorodok - scientific town of Siberian city Novosibirsk.

In 2009 the band were noticed by My Kingdom music and became the first metal acts from Siberia to have a worldwide release.

In 2012 frontman relocated to Oslo severing ties with all members. Oslo reestablbishhed lineup includes Trollfest and Blood Red Throne members.
