Defiant is a Finnish-Nepalese musical quartet playing out of Helsinki, Finland.
Their unconventional approach to writing music and disregard for all the pre-conceived musical boundaries is what makes them unpredictable and and interesting listen.
Chaotic riffs, visceral screams, irate beatdowns and primal grooves convey a sense of panic and disorientation. The band aims to push the envelope with their music.
