ACT OF DEFIANCE

2nd album from 2017 by American ACT OF DEFIANCE, the supergroup featuring former MEGADETH members Chris Broderick and Shawn Drover alongside Matt Bachand (SHADOWS FALL) and Henry Derek. "Old Scars, New Wounds" marks a significant step forward from the band's debut, displaying greater songwriting maturity and an even stronger balance between modern Thrash Metal, Melodic Death Metal and outstanding technical musicianship.

The album delivers crushing riffs, intricate arrangements and spectacular guitar solos while maintaining a relentless sense of energy and aggression throughout. Rather than relying on the reputation of its members' previous bands, ACT OF DEFIANCE establishes a distinct identity built on precision, power and sophisticated songwriting, making this the finest release of the band's short-lived career.

Recommended for fans of: MEGADETH, NEVERMORE, DARKANE, TESTAMENT, SHADOWS FALL.
