Defiance - Sign To Candlelight Records
Candlelight Records announced the signing of Oakland, California-based Defiance. The band, currently featuring vocalist Steev Esquivel (Skinlab), guitarist Jim Adams, bassist Mike Kaufmann and drummer Mark Hernandez (Vio-lence, Forbidden), has started early tracking of their new album at Triden Studios and Greendot Studios in East Bay. The currently untitled album is expected for a Spring 2009 release.
Formed in 1985, Defiance have recorded three albums all for Roadrunner Records - Product of Society (1989, produced by Jeff Waters (Annihilator)), Void Terra Firma (1990, produced by John Cuniberti (Joe Satriani)), and Beyond Recognition (1992, produced by Rob Beaton). In 1994 the members put Defiance on hiatus allowing them opportunity to work on outside projects. In 2005 after requests from fans and new vigor on the part of band members, Defiance reunited. In an interview with popular portal Metal-Temple.com Mike Kaufmann reveals, "We have received lots of messages from fans who have said they would love to hear some new Defiance. We always felt the band broke up too early so we plan to use this opportunity to pick up where we left off".
Defiance along with their fellow moshpit peers of the 80's (Testament, Exodus, Death Angel) contributed to the rise and immense popularity of thrash metal for over a decade. In recent years with the reformations of many of the classic bands, fans have been given opportunity to re-embrace the aggressive sound of the American-flavor of the genre.
Defiance plan to finish recording of their Candlelight debut by year's end. The band expect to announce touring plans in the early part of 2009.

Defiance - New Song Posted Online
Defiance has just posted a song on their myspace page from their new long anticipated fourth album and first in over 15 years. They are currently speaking with different labels about releasing the album and will hopefully make a decision in the coming weeks.
The band states:
"We're extremely happy with the way the album is coming out and plan to have it finished by April. We can honestly say this will be our best album to date. After the tragic loss of our best friend and guitarplayer Doug Harrington, it has been very difficult and challenging to
move on without him, yet at the same time we know he would be very proud of what we've accomplished"
The song is titled "The Voice" and is a rough mix from the sessions recorded at Trident Studios in Concord, CA.
