Act of Defiance

Act of Defiance is a Thrash/Shred/Metal outfit created by epic metal musicians Chris Broderick (guitars) and Shawn Drover (drums). Says Broderick:

I am so excited to finally be able to announce ACT OF DEFIANCE to the world.

Upon exiting the ranks of Megadeth, the world eagerly awaited news as to what was next for Chris Broderick (guitars) and Shawn Drover (drums). The duo are now excited to announce their worldwide signing to Metal Blade Records for their new group ACT OF DEFIANCE, which is rounded out by Henry Derek (ex-Scar The Martyr) on vocals and Matt Bachand (Shadows Fall) on bass. They are currently recording their debut offering with world renowned producer Zeuss (Rob Zombie, Hatebreed, Shadows Fall). Look for this album to be released sometime this summer.

In a PR launch which is full of enthusiasm and passion for this powerhouse project, Drover adds the following about the bands recent signing to Metal Blade Records:

Having our new band, ACT OF DEFIANCE, sign with Metal Blade Records is a real thrill for me. I started my musical career with Brian Slagel and the Metal Blade family many years ago, so to come full circle at this point is a real musical home-coming, of sorts. I couldn’t be happier about that.
