Act Of Defiance

Act Of Defiance came together soon after the departures of guitarist Chris Broderick and drummer Shawn Drover from Megadeth, the pair quickly recruiting a singer and vocalist and in short order released Birth And The Burial in August of 2015. Whether Broderick and Drover left Megadeth for personal or professional reasons or both, it seems to have liberated and invigorated them a bit, as while Birth isn't too far removed from prime Megadeth, it's a bit more punchy and in-your-face, leaning more towards contemporary aggressive metal rather than traditional thrash, with the the slightly metalcore-ish vocals from Henry Derek Bonner furthering the modern feel.
