Dynamic Tallahassee, FL based rock band Defy The Tyrant have, in just a few years, developed a polished fusion of Southern and Classic Rock blended uniquely with Nu-Metal. They pride themselves to such diverse influences as Garth Brooks, Slipknot, Stevie Ray Vaghn, Motley Crue, Fuel, Sevendust, and Creed.

​

Defy The Tyrant was originally formed by bassist David Norton (aka Slim) to defy the norm and seek fellow musicians to bend the rules and re-structure and combine very diverse influences.

​

Creating a slow-burning style of heavy rock, with soaring screams tempered by polished lyricism, they released their debut EP, Voices Pt. 1 in February 2018. This gained the band a rabid following and built up their drawing capacity in the surrounding areas.

​

With a percolating energy throughout, Defy The Tyrant is positioning to push a fresh voice and sound into the heavy rock machine and redefine what “alternative metal” means. Stay tuned for their first worldwide release through Pavement coming in mid-2020.
