Former Roadrunner Records thrashers, DEFIANCE, have issued a recording update on their forthcoming album for Candlelight Records.

“We finished up at Trident Studios on Sunday with Jim [Adams; guitar] and Mike [Kaufmann; bass] completing the last of their parts, and Steev [Esquivel; also of Skinlab] came down to help arrange some last-minute additions to the lead sections with Jim on a couple of songs. Snake came by in the afternoon to deliver all the completed vocals he recorded at his studio in Berkeley, Greendot Studios.

“All we have left is to get Glen’s [Alvelais; Forbidden, Testament] solos and to have Juan [Urteaga, producer] finish mixing and mastering the album!”

Once the album hits stores, the band will be looking for the right touring opportunities to support it. The new album will be the band’s first since 1992’s Beyond Recognition.
