Former MEGADETH duo Chris Broderick and Shawn Drover have announced their new band is called ACT OF DEFIANCE.

They've released a clip of their track Throwback, set to appear on the debut album.

Guitarist Broderick and drummer Drover quit Dave Mustaine’s group in November and later recruited ex Scar The Martyr vocalist Henry Derek Bonner and Shadows Fall bassist Matt Bachand for their project.

Studio sessions began at the end of January with producer Chris ‘Zeuss’ Harris.

ACT OF DEFIANCE have signed a deal with Metal Blade Records for the album.
