More Info
Void Terra Firma was Defiance's second studio album and first album with new singer Steev Esquivel. Defiance belonged to the San Francisco Bay Area thrash scene that gave us bands such as Testament, Exodus, Forbidden, and Death Angel.
This is Bay Area thrash at its finest, listen to standouts tracks like the title track, "Skitz-Illusions," and "Last Resort (Welcome to Poverty)" for some mighty fine examples of that sound. The record also contains a cover of Iron Maiden's "Killers".
The seemingly telepathic connection between the rhythm and lead guitarists sounds phenomenal and newcomer Esquivel also steps up to the plate on this one.
