History

In 2007 Defect Designer in Novosibirsk recorded their first four-track promo named "W". Having sent the demo worldwide the band received plenty of positive feedback and decided to go to a European studio to record a full-length album.

In February, 2008 Defect Designer entered Hertz Studio, Poland (which had previously recorded Vader, Decapitated, Behemoth, Sceptic) without any financial support from labels. The band traveled 4000 km from their hometown to Poland and recorded, mastered and mixed 12 tracks with the Wieslawski brothers.

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. Defect Designer released the second album "Ageing Accelerator" in 2015 - recording it with musicians from SepticFlesh, Cryptopsy and Trollfest.

The current lineup includes Trollfest, Diskord and Vingulmork members. The band has signed a multi-album contract with Transcending Obscurity label in April, 2020 planning a release of the Neanderthal EP further in 2020.

gollark: According to our memetoapiologists, however, THIS is you.
gollark: Or am I an arrayh of strings?
gollark: There's nothing there. Is this part of the memetic hazard?
gollark: Interestingly, it doesn't have you flagged as bad. This is due to the fact that I never updated it after Incident 608-ν.
