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.

Current Members Lance King vocals (Pyramaze) Marcus Peterson guitars Brent Scott guitars Aaron Bell bass (Degree Absolute) Doug Beary drums (Degree Absolute)
