Defiance is nowadays considered one of the most inspiring thrash metal acts from the period of late 80's/early 90's, while "Beyond Recognition" stands as a true classic and the group's best work yet. Without question, the band reached its artistic peaks on "Beyond Recognition". With a new producer and without the label pressure, the band could afford more freedom in recording the follow-up to "Void Terra Firma". More complex and technically evolved, the album presented a rough, heavy sound the band was searching for all these years.
