September 15, 2009, 15 years ago
Reunited Oakland-based thrashers DEFIANCE have issued the following update:
"Defiance has posted another new song from the forthcoming album, The Prophecy, on the official band website .The song, called 'Sloth', is a fast paced, over the top thrasher that was written by Jim Adams and Mark Hernandez with lyrics from Bryant/Esquivel. The intense, fast and explosive tune explores the issues of the useless and worthless that plague our world.
The full album is set for release on October 19th in Europe and October 20th in North America through Candlelight Records."
The band recently checked in with the following update:
"Reformed after a 15-year hiatus, bay area thrashers Defiaince return with The Prophecy.Currently featuring vocalist Steev Esquivel (SKINLAB), guitarist Jim Adams, bassist Mike Kaufmann and drummer Mark Hernandez (VIO-LENCE, FORBIDDEN), the band recorded the album in San Francisco and in early interviews Kaufmann confirmed, we always felt the band broke up too early so we plan to use this opportunity to pick up where we left off.
Formed in 1985, Defiance recorded their first record in 1988. Product Of Society (Roadrunner) was produced by Jeff Waters (ANNIHILATOR) and immediately found the band an impressive worldwide audience.
Beyond Recognition, the bands third and last album was released in 1992. In 2005 the band finally regrouped after years of requests from fans. The band signed with Candlelight in late 2008 and immediately set to work."
