‘Exiled To Infinity’
music & lyrics by Paavo Laapotti
Finnish melodic death metal band Defiled Serenity is set to release their long-awaited debut album ‘Within The Slumber Of The Mind‘ on February 21st 2025 via Inverse Records.
The second single ‘Exiled to Infinity‘ has been released accompanied by a music video produced by Tuomas Saukkonen (Before The Dawn, Wolfheart, Dawn Of Solace).
Vocalist Paavo Laapotti comments:
”The song’s lyrics are about distressing and constant fear of death inside an individual’s head. He’s lost in his own mind and doesn’t know what is real and what is fake. He only has a strong feeling that he’s being chased and he’s forced to escape into the unknown.”
”This is one of the oldest songs written for this album and it has been waiting for the right moment to be released. Well, the day is finally here and I’m very glad that we got the right feel into the song that it needed.”

Vocalist Paavo Laapotti comments:
”We wanted to start with a fiery track with a lot of kick! The song is about an individual, that has been treated like trash for his whole life. Eventually enough is enough, his feelings take over and he seeks for a revenge. He releases his anger towards his bullies and lets them know their worst enemy…We started making of the album with this song and clearly each musician had a strong vision of the outcome. I think we succeeded in giving it the chaos it needed, both with the song and the music video.”
Defiled Serenity is a melodic death metal band from Loimaa, Finland.
It was founded by the vocalist and Before The Dawn frontman Paavo Laapotti in 2021.
The band’s music is for the fans of old In Flames, Amorphis, Amon Amarth, Dark Tranquillity etc.
Their sound relies heavily on the 90’s melodeath sound, but with modern twists.
The songs are filled with low growls, chunky guitars, beautiful melodies and tight rhythm sections.
They released their first stand-alone single ‘Voices from the Void‘ in 2022 and it has reached over 25,000 streams on Spotify alone.
Since then, the band has been writing new material and now it’s time to unleash their long-awaited debut album…
