WRECK-DEFY Featuring Former ANNIHILATOR, TESTAMENT, DEMOLITION HAMMER Members Gearing Up To Release Third Album In 2020
October 8, 2019, 5 years ago
Wreck-Defy, featuring former members of Annihilator, Testament and Demolition Hammer have checked in with the following update:
"Although our sophomore album, Remnants Of Pain, has just recently been officially released via Inverse Records - barely a week ago - album number 3 is officially written and arranged. Pre-production will be starting very soon, and after the Christmas holiday season comes to an end it will be off to the races to bring you the next chapter in the Wreck-Defy saga.
The same line-up that brought you Remnants Of Pain will be back to bring you our most ferocious and pummeling album to date some time in 2020. Let the games begin.
Thanks to all our fans who have supported us this far. We hope to see you live next year!"
Finland's Inverse Records officially released Wreck-Defy's new album, Remnants Of Pain, on September 27th. They have posted a new lyric video for the previously released single, "Broken Peace", which can be viewed below.
"The new record has a street level sound that is a throwback to the burgeoning thrash metal movement from the mid 80's with a more modern day production value. To me thrash metal is about honesty, integrity and just an overall street level approach to things...lyrically its about many of the negative aspects in life such as war, addiction, tyranny, etc." says Matt Hanchuck.
Wreck-Defy began in 2016 when Matt Hanchuck got together with his friend Justin Steer who agreed to do the vocals on the debut record Fragments of Anger. They brought in Shawn Drover from Megadeth to play all the drums on the first album... combining that with the fact that his brother Glen... also ex-Megadeth alumni agreed to mix and master the album which gave it some notoriety so to speak... credibility if you will.
The current lineup of the band is Matt Hanchuck on guitar, Aaron Randall (ex-Annihilator) on vocals and Greg Christian (ex-Testament) on bass. For the album they used Dave O'Neal as a studio session drummer... but moving forward they've been able to recruit the amazing Alex Marquez from Demolition Hammer and Solstice for future tours and shows.
