Defyance

Defyance is one of many bands playing melodic, semi-progressive metal, taking their cues from bands like Queensryche and later-period Fates Warning. Not a groundbreaking group, but a solid band for the style, with high marks for production and musicianship values, particularly impressive for a self-financed band. The band managed three self-released albums, the most recent being 2002's Transitional Forms, though they haven't been heard from since.
