Former CELLADOR, REVOLUTION RENAISSANCE Members Join Forces In DEFENDER

February 22, 2011

Guitarist Bill Hudson (ex-CELLADOR, CIRCLE II CIRCLE, POWER QUEST) has teamed up with his former bandmate Mikey Gremio (ex-CELLADOR) and drummer Bruno Agra (ZODIAC MINDWARP, ex-REVOLUTION RENAISSANCE),as well as young shredder John Killall to form the new, Los Angeles-based heavy metal band DEFENDER.

A video preview of the band's upcoming EP is available below.

Drawing influences from classics like IRON MAIDEN, PANTERA, HELLOWEEN, SKID ROW and METALLICA all the way to the modern hard rock made by SHINEDOWN, AVENGED SEVENFOLD and THREE DAYS GRACE, as well as the aggressiveness of SLAYER, FEAR FACTORY and MESHUGGAH, DEFENDER intends to create catchy songs with great, hooky melodies, intricate and technical guitar work and heavy, and precise riffing. Lyrically, they touch both real and fictional subjects, such as a futuristic third world war or the need to live here and now before it's too late.

DEFENDER is currently in pre-production for its debut album and will release an EP entitled "WWIII" this year.

DEFENDER is:

Mikey Gremio: Lead Vocals
Bill Hudson: Lead, Rhythm Guitars, Vocals
Bruno Angra: Drums, Vocals
John Killall: Lead & Rhythm Guitars, Vocals
