Their music is a unique blend of aggression and technical prowess founded by drive and passion. Their catchy melodies, modern edge, and progressive elements give them a sound that distinguishes them from the metal masses.
Hailing from the birthplace of the American metal scene, Desecrate calls Hollywood home. Their explosive live shows have gained them a loyal growing fan base that has allowed them to headline many well known Hollywood clubs including: The House of Blues, The Whisky A Go Go, The Key Club, The Roxy, The Avalon, and The Troubadour. They have shared the stage with many top national metal acts such as: Overkill, Warbringer, Dragonforce, Metal Church, Anvil, Exmortus, and many more.
Desecrate has embarked on multiple nationwide tours, devouring cities and dominating the stage every step of the way.

No matter the circumstances Desecrate performs at the highest level and delivers greatness every single show.
Desecrate has self released several professional quality recordings. It has always been the band’s philosophy to put out top level material whether or not a record label is part of the equations. Their previous 2012 release “At the Edge of Sanity” is an album that takes a very modern approach on classic metal elements. It will take you from powerful melodic vocals to aggressive angry screams and from fast guitar neck ripping articulations to heavy groove oriented rhythms. Their newest 2015 release promises to push the metal envelope even further.
