From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Act of Defiance was an American heavy metal supergroup from Los Angeles, California, formed in 2014 by guitarist Chris Broderick and drummer Shawn Drover of Megadeth after they both resigned from the band on the same day,[1][2] vocalist Henry Derek (ex-Scar the Martyr and ex-Thrown into Exile) and bassist Matt Bachand (Shadows Fall guitarist and current Living Wreckage bassist). In 2019, guitarist Chris Broderick joined In Flames as a touring member. During the length of the Covid-19 pandemic, Act of Defiance stayed inactive.
