I Defy On the Outside *

Originally formed in late 1999 when Raoul (singer of Veil) and Frank (former Miozan bass player, now Souls On Fire) recruited two good friends and talented musicians, Flo (drummer of Veil) and Mathias (guitarist in United Mutations) to join their hardcore project. I Defy was primarily seen as a side project since all members were still engaged in their main bands and busy touring; however, this would soon change when the first songs were written and two local shows were played. Opening for Kill Your Idols, Shutdown, American Nightmare and Ensign, the response was so amazing (not just from the crowd but from the headlining bands as well) that I Defy decided to turn the side project into a serious band. Now, I Defy has signed with Thorp Records and they unleash their new full-length "On The Outside" on June 26th, 2007.
