Defect Designer is a progressive death metal band from Oslo but originally coming from Akademgorodok, part of the Siberian city Novosibirsk.

In 2007 Defect Designer in Novosibirsk recorded their first four-track promo named "W". In February, 2008 Defect Designer entered Hertz Studio, Poland (which had previously recorded Vader, Decapitated, Behemoth, Sceptic) without any financial support from labels.
