English metal band DEF CON ONE were formed over a decade ago by former VENOM drummer Antton Lant. The band played Bloodstock Open Air in 2011 following the release of their self-titled EP. Many gigs covering the length and breadth of the UK built their following of loyal fans and in 2012 DEF CON ONE released their debut album “Warface” after signing with Scarlet Records. Last year saw the release of limited edition EP “Brute Force And Ignorance” on vinyl and this year in February, the band released their new album, entitled “II.”

This album sees the band take things to a whole new level. They have described their second offering as “a natural progression” and have definitely stamped their own sound all over it. With influences covering a wide range of musical styles, from modern metal to old school rock and punk, DEF CON ONE have been described by the organizers of renowned Bloodstock Open Air festival as a bar fight between MACHINE HEAD, SLAYER and PANTERA.

Metal Shock Finland is proud to present the premiere of the video for the track ‘Skinhead Shaped Dent.’

The band commented about the interesting choice of song title:

“The song title came about when we were on our way to Les Fest in Scotland we stopped off at some services for some food and as we were leaving the restaurant, a car nearly knocked us down. Steve said if the car had hit us there would be a big skinhead shaped dent in the car, we all fell about laughing thinking it was so funny but then thought it would make a killer song title!”

Senior Manager Ali Blackdiamond comments:

“This song and video lives up to what we expect to hear from DEF CON ONE – brutal chugging riffs combined with Davey’s vocals and Antton’s precision drumming makes for the ultimate metal listening experience, don’t miss it!”
