Another Side Records presents the first single from the third full-length studio album, »Soul Of A Swan«, by Israeli doom metal project.

The song explores a dependent and destructive relationship, in which the dependent partner longs to die in the arms of their loved one. It draws a haunting comparison between such an embrace and the suffocating grasp of the ocean, reflected in the music itself, which begins and ends with the sound of waves.

This single features Israeli vocalist Efrat Lavie, whose soft yet dramatic performance adds a powerful emotional depth to the track.

Defiled Embrace is a one-man project formed in Israel in 2021 by local musician Matan Kedar. The project started as a collection of different doom metal songs, written by Matan over the course of 11 years. Some songs were originally written for another projects, but eventually they all came together under the name Defiled Embrace.

During 2021, Matan decided to record the songs using session musicians he works with in other bands, and the debut album »Whispers Of The Forest« was recorded during 2021-2022.

On July 2022, Defiled Embrace singed a deal with Metal Scrap Records Inc. Three videos were shot to support forthcoming release: »In Her Sullen Reflection«, »Autumn« and »Whispers Of The Forest«. September 9 became as an official release date of »Whispers Of The Forest« album through Another Side Records, a division of Metal Scrap Records Inc.

To the end of 2023, the second album, »The Nether Earth«, was recorded. During 2024, three singles (»Mausoleum«, »Pieces« and »Defiled Embrace«) were shouted before the album release. »The Nether Earth« album was released on September 6, 2024.

On April 17, 2026 »Solace«, the first Single from the forthcoming third album, was released.
