About 'Blood Spirits & Drums Are Singing' CD/LP:
"Okay, now if you need meditations that keep you right in the driving seat throughout the duration of the trip, then check out the Skull Defects and their album BLOOD SPIRITS & DRUMS ARE SINGING. With their line-up of double drums, guitarists and machinery, The Skull Defects conjure up an unlikely and unkind meltdown din somewhere between the arid No Wave of CHAIRS MISSING-period Wire, the contemporary ramalama of Sweden’s excellent Krautrock-wannabees Audionom and the artless pummelling early-70s proto-Kiss proto-Cleveland blues-free white blues of Germany’s Tiger B. Smith amped up to a heartless degree." -Julian Cope.
"Manisk, cirkulär och sexig ritualrock, där rytmen är nyckeln och hedniska trummor sjunger." - Johanna Paulsson / Dagens Nyheter.
About 'Storm Skull Dub' 7":
"The title of the wax is maybe a bit misleading because dub influences are hard to hear. [...] Both sides have a heavy industrial feel to them, what with machinery sounds and field recordings from a train station or some other echoy place building the background for some electronic fuckery on Side A." 10/10 -- Stephan Bauer, Foxy Digitalis.
About 'SKKULL':
The Skull Defekts are another one of those bands that seem to have gone from some unknown entity with just a cd-r and a tape, to a serious band, with an avalanche of releases, in the blink of an eye. So much so that it's been tough for us to keep up. This is the first of maybe three cds that have come out in the last little while, but the first we're actually getting around to reviewing.
In the review of the only other SD release we've listed and reviewed, a now out of print lp on Conspiracy Records, we said that "if there was any justice in the world, these guys would be battling Wolf Eyes for the hipster noise rock crown for sure," and this record, along with all the others we have yet to review, but will soon, only reaffirms that sentiment.-Aquarius Records, US.

The Skull Defekts was founded in 2005 in Gothenburg, Sweden and consist of people that could be seen with bands as Union Carbide Productions, Kid Commando, Anticimex, Cortex, 8 Days of Nothing, The Members of Tinnitus, Trapdoor Fucking Exit, Alvars Orkester and so on.
The DFX is collaborating with some great visual artists, like Fredrik Söderberg and Are Mokkelbost.
The Skull Defekts is all about R H Y T H M, repetition and
all energies in sound.
The band is a two-headed beast - one for electronic noise and sound experiments - one for hot & sweaty hypno rock...
The Skull Defekts have been visited by Lasse Marhaug, Damo Suzuki, CM von Hausswolff, Amit Sen, Thomas Ekelund, Henrik Grevesmühl, and Eric Olofsson.
