There are more than one band with this name: 1. Black Death metal band from Croatia DEFIANT was originally formed Požega, Croatia in 2005, by Beretz (guitars, vox) & Kris (guitars). With much musical experience from the past they began writing material with lots of melodies, harmonies and dark lyrics. The main idea from the beginning was to play melodic death metal with Swedish influences. When Bole (bass) and File (drums) joined the band, line-up was finished.
