1888 is the debut EP by English metal band The Defiled.

The band's first music video for the song "The Resurrectionists" was released a couple of months after the EP was released.

This same song was re-recorded for their debut album, Grave Times, which was released on 14 February 2011.

"The Defiled's meld of industrial, Marilyn Manson-esque swagger with a more serrated hardcore edge has seen them become lauded as one of the UK's most aggressively vital new live bands," according to Kerrang!

"Dealing exclusively in a vicious-chorus/big-verse songwriting format, the short running time is more blast than whimper... What you discover is a band with more witty lyrical nous and thematic depth than their energetic stage presence would suggest," wrote reviewer Sam Law, giving it 4 K's out of 5.
