Desecration is a Welsh death metal band formed in Newport in 1993. The band caused controversy in 1995 when the album Gore and Perversion was seized by police forces due to the album's offensive content.
The band was told to tone down the lyrics or forget about the music business[1]. However, after three years of fine-tuning their style, Desecration recorded the album Murder in Mind.
The band has since released several albums and gone on many more tours with the likes of Decapitated, Extreme Noise Terror, Vader, Deicide and Morbid Angel.
