Album DescriptionSTUNNING RETURN TO FORM FROM THRASH METAL LEGENDS DEFIANCE!!! Reformed after a 15 year hiatus, bay area thrashers Defiance return with The Prophecy. Currently featuring vocalist Steev Esquivel (Skinlab), guitarist Jim Adams, bassist Mike Kaufmann and drummer Mark Hernandez (Vio-lence, Forbidden), the band recorded the album in San Francisco and in early interviews Kaufmann confirmed, "we always felt the band broke up too early so we plan to use this opportunity to pick up where we left off." Formed in 1985 Defiance recorded their first record in 1988. Product of Society (Roadrunner) was produced by Jeff Waters (Annihilator) and immediately found the band an impressive worldwide audience.

The band signed with Candlelight in late 2008 and immediately set to work.
