Former Megadeth Duo Reveal Band Name And Share Song Clip (A Top Story)


.
On Friday Former Megadeth Duo Reveal Band Name And Share Song Clip was a top story. Here is the recap: Former Megadeth duo, Chris Broderick and Shawn Drover, have inked a record deal, announced the name of their new band, confirmed the band's lineup, and released a preview clip of one of their new songs.

The new band will be called Act of Defiance and they confirmed it will also feature former Scar The Martyr singer Henry Derek and Shadows Fall bassist Matt Bachand.

The group has signed a world wide deal with Metal Blade Records and the band is currently recording their debut album with producer Zeuss (Rob Zombie, Hatebreed, Shadows Fall).

They expect to release the album this summer but are giving fans a little taste of what to expect with the release of an audio clip of the rough demo for a song called "Throwback." Check it out here.

Broderick had the following to say about the new developments, "I am so excited to finally be able to announce Act Of Defiance to the world. Shawn just finished tracking drums the first week of February and his performance and tones are simply incredible. I have started tracking rhythms and leads, as well as working with Henry to get final vocal takes while Matt will record bass at his studio. The final mix and mastering will also be handled by Zeuss.

"I am also very honored to announce that we have signed with Metal Blade Records. There is not a better label to be on than one where the employees (and owner) still understand and listen to METAL! They have shown a loyalty, backing and drive for their artists that few other labels have. As for our music, I am really enjoying the ability to create what is a killer mix of thrash and modern metal. It has a unique combination ranging from thrash to classical influences. I am very proud of what we have written and hope that you all dig it."

Drover shares his excitement, "Having our new band, Act Of Defiance, sign with Metal Blade Records is a real thrill for me. I started my musical career with Brian Slagel and the Metal Blade family many years ago, so to come full circle at this point is a real musical home-coming, of sorts. I couldn't be happier about that.

"What thrills me the most is the fact that myself, Chris Broderick, Henry Derek and Matt Bachand all have in common is that from the get-go, we wanted this band to be 100% PURE Heavy Metal! No compromises, no ulterior motives other than making the best HEAVY METAL music we can. Metal Blade shares this vision, which really puts us all on the same page, musically." Read more - here.
