Since bursting on to the music scene in late '99, Ketterings female fronted metal machine, Defenestration, have packed enough action into their embryonic careers to satisfy many more mature acts.

Constant touring has seen them cross the U.k. and Europe with such bands as Raging Speedhorn, Lost Prophets, Will Haven, Megadeth and Therapy? to name but a few. Not to mention appearences at The Carling, Reading and Leeds Festivals and 2001's Wembley Arena leg of the Tattoo the Planet Tour supporting Slayer and Cradle Of Filth.

Debut album 'One Inch God' was met with open arms, being described as "The most confident and self assured British debut since Iron Maiden, some 20 years before" and earning the band a nomination for 'Best New British Band' at the 2001 Kerrang awards. This was followed two years later by 2003's raw and passionate 'Ray Zero' which again attracted rave reviews.

Now with a new mini album ....For Us This Ends When We Drown. Defen are back with their most focused, mature and determined offering to date.
