I agree... when is VTF going to be available for download? I really look forward to some new stuff; any new news on progress, release date, possible tour, etc? Keep Rockin!! Layne Michaels <saxtmich2000@yahoo.com> Pocatello, ID USA - Friday, February 16, 2007 at 14:59:59 (PST) When are you guys going to make Void Terra Firma available on the site for download again? Beyond Recognition is one of my all time favorite cds. Absolutely brilliant album. The addition of Steev to the band after Product Of Society was a great move. I would give just about anything Steev's debut with the band on Void Terra Firma. I never had the chance to hear Void back in the day and would appreciate the chance to do so now. Dave Dave <acephantom_4@yahoo.com> Winchester, TN USA - Wednesday, February 07, 2007 at 21:02:35 (PST) …what incredibly sad news this is that I was made aware of this past weekend. Stacy F. was visiting me in Seattle and mentioned that Doug had passed. Doug was an incredible individual that was always smiling and cheerful. He had a great amount of energy and drive, and his rhythms showed it. I’m glad that I had the chance to call him “friend”. He was a blast to party with but you never wanted to be stuck with him in the back of a van if he had bad gas! My heart goes out to you Adam and Adrianne. I know you both loved him very much. Wishing you all the best…Keitho Keitho <captainhook1995@gmail.com> Seattle, WA USA - Friday, January 26, 2007 at 09:12:29 (PST) hola amigos.es una verdadera pena la muerte de doug.yo estoy muy ansioso de que salga el nuevo lp,pues los tres anteriores los tengo y son una pasada.el que le falte alguno y no sepa como encontrarlo,en el ebay teneis los 3 lps.me alegra que las bandas de trash metal de los 80 esten en la escena o en este caso y otros vuelban.stay metal jaime fdz castro torrelavega, españa - Friday, January 19, 2007 at 04:22:50 (PST) DEFIANCE IN BRAZIL PLEEEEEEESSS!!!!!!

PABLO <PABLOBRUTALDEATHMETAL@HOTMAIL.COM> QUEENS, N,Y USA - Monday, January 01, 2007 at 22:15:05 (PST) Jim, Mike, and all the rest of the Defiance family... It's taken me this long to muster up the strength to reply to the overwhelming responses to bro's passing on the Defiance website. Reading the outpouring of love from family, bandmates, fans, and friends (both recent and long lost) brings a tear to my eye. But I think more importantly, it reminds me that in his much too short time on this planet my brother touched so many people (even people he never met) in such a positive way. On behalf of the Harrington family, I want to thank all who have reached out with their thoughts and prayers. Through all your memories Doug will live on. Adam Harrington <www.harringtonvo@yahoo.com> Oakland, Ca USA - Friday, December 29, 2006 at 03:15:10 (PST) To Doug a talented artist and one hell of a guitarist my deepestlove goes out to him a friend and a man i look up to as a brother we will all miss u man see u in the next life n keep rocking there may metal never die Ryan <loopaugieaug@yahoo.com> sunnyvale, ca USA - Friday, December 22, 2006 at 20:33:51 (PST) first of all i feel privaleged to know who you guys are, unlike all the kids my age (17) that havent even thought about hearing about you guys. you guys are awesome, and i hope of you the best.

As a little time has passed, I will try. My heart is broken. To Doug, I will always miss you and I think about you my "BRUTHA" every day. We had some good times Bro....Reggae, Humbolt County on the 4th of July, New Years in Tahoe...all to say the least. One of the things that makes me put a smile on my face is how we ribbed each other so much because your a Niner/A's fan and I'm a Raiders/Giants fan! I'll miss that, but one day I know we'll be BBQing and guzzling beers in front of a game again. To Adrianne, Grace, and Adam, I just wanted to say, but then again I don't know how to say it......but I love and care for you all, and I am so sorry. Doug is a great man! Tarick <indicus43@gmail.com> San Francisco, CA USA - Tuesday, December 12, 2006 at 11:51:26 (PST) I need to write a few lines about my friend Doug Harrington. A Great friend a great guitar player and somebody you could hang out with. I met Doug my first in Oakland Ca. I was kind of freaked out from the stories of Oakland.But he made me feel welcomed.That was back in the mid 80`s.Soon after that i was with him everyday ROCKIN in a band named defiance.Iam greatfull that i was able to know him. And i will always treasure the times that we had.It was my pleasure to have him as a band mate.I miss you Doug.Rock with you on the other side.Your brother always.Ken. Ken Elkinton <hobblinhippy@hotmail.com> lonelane, mo USA - Wednesday, December 06, 2006 at 23:08:05 (PST) I just heard the sad news. My love and best wishes to his family. Like many of you, I grew up with Doug too. What girl didn't have a a crush on him in the 80's? I saw him about a year ago at the King's X. I heard my name called and knew who it was before I even turned around. That unmistakable voice. I'll never forget that voice. Good to recognize so many old names on here. Melissa Willett <itsmemelis@yahoo.com> Walnut Creek, CA USA - Monday, December 04, 2006 at 11:14:35 (PST) Hail Brothers. Rest in Peace Doug. Thanks for your music... Rahab <metalfan@poczta.onet.pl> Poland - Sunday, December 03, 2006 at 06:52:55 (PST) I knew Doug since Jr.High, we went to Jr.High together and High School and have kept in touch and hung out over the years since. Doug was always one of the good guys,always personable,friendly and funny as hell! I pulled out a bunch of pics I found of him including pics of his band with Mike Berry in the 80's playing at my 21st B-day, they looked like Motley Crue :)I have so many great memories of Doug and my heart goes out to Adrianne,Grace and Adam.. Doug was loved and will always be remembered. Lara Lara <Glamkitten@comcast.net> Oaktown, Ca USA - Thursday, November 30, 2006 at 08:42:58 (PST) Hey guys. It's good to see y'all are still together.

Sándor Beckers <s.beckers@hccnet.nl> Hoogland, The Netherlands - Friday, November 24, 2006 at 03:43:58 (PST) I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Doug. He was a great Husband, Father, friend and person. He definatly touched everyone he met in a positive way. I was blessed with being able to see Doug on a somewhat regular basis. I cherrish all of the times that I spent with him. To Adrienne and Adam: My deepest condolances go out to you both (and the rest of your families). If either of you should need anything, I'm here for you. Doug will surely be missed, but his presence and legacy will live in our hearts forever. Miss you Bro and I'll see you on the other side!

It`s great to see you guys back together again. I was a kid when I first heard you guys. When VOID TERRA FIRMA came out I was 12 years old. I stold the tape from a music store cuz I thought it had a cool cover since then I never looked back. Your music still stands the test of time brutal as fuck! Bill Klug <crypticmetal1@yahoo.com> Fort Wayne, In USA - Sunday, July 23, 2006 at 14:25:56 (PDT) FROM THE DEEPEST... DARKEST... DEPTHS OF OREGON... WILL YOU PLEASE WELCOME...EagleEye* That would be me. And THAT above line was done for me from time to time back in the day except for it went more like this to all you non-old-schoolers.... "From the deepset darkest depths of Oakland* will you please welcome... DEFIANCE ! ! !" Sup dudes... Been quite a long time hasn't it ? If you have the question mark over your head who this is exactly wait no longer. I'm the drummer's sidekick who watched your shit so no slugs would make off with your tools man. Yeah, it's me, that camera toting metal-head from the OMNI and Rock-on-Broadway dayz... (Too young to get in regular style I might add. THE FAMOUS LINE : "I'm with the band..... man. Go away and deal." The highlight besides playing the 'almost famous movie card/line' was having my pictures chosen to be in the VOID presentation. Man... can you say 20 year reunion ? Well I can. I just fucking did. As we all know stick master Matt is doing WICKED in NY. That doesn't mean there cannot be opportunity for you all to show us again how metal should be played. I'd drop WHATEVER and WHENEVER to go see/hear you guys play again. I'm serious. I am a PRODUCT OF SOCIETY... and those who know me will contest... I am quite defiant by nature. E-mail me back. That's not a request. That is a fucking order by someone who gave my time and my work for absolutely noting in return. Keep it real... and keep the volume at 11.

THRASHHHHHHH! andrea italia - Tuesday, January 25, 2005 at 08:49:12 (PST) I´ve just read the news of you guys thinking about recording a new album. It sounds so unbelievable! I just got into (Thrash) Metal at the time the "Beyond Recognition" came out. Although nowadays I listen more to - and play - jazz, indian or world music, "Beyond ..." and "Void terra firma" still belong to my favouritemost metal albums. (I especially appreciate the fact that the latter seems to be recorded live.) I´m really looking forward to listen to new material and I´m open to be surprised - besides excellent musicianship I really don´t know what to expect. So, let your creativity flow, whereever it may lead you! Sakha <sakhaosho@yahoo.de> Uetersen, Germany - Friday, January 21, 2005 at 11:23:09 (PST) Yeah !! I've got only one word to say about this website: IT ROCKS !!! wolf Poland - Friday, January 21, 2005 at 06:42:53 (PST) hello defiance!! i`m peruvian and i know the band, for almost 12 years, i have a "void terra firma`s tape and i like so much!!, keep thrash metal in yours veins!!!, good luck, i hope see you soon in peru!!!!!!!

VOID TERRA FIRMA is one of the top 10 thrash metal albums of all-time, but it needs to be remastered and re-released... MIGHTY BAY AREA THRASH!!! pelos <jcvelezq@yahoo.com> atlanta, GA USA - Thursday, August 19, 2004 at 13:37:52 (PDT) Fantastic band. Fantastic site. Always loved defiance they should definatley due a reunion show and recordit for a DVD. and put any videos that were filmed onto it. Graham Evans <Graham.evans@ramesys.com> Mansfield, UK - Thursday, August 19, 2004 at 13:04:39 (PDT) The site is pretty useful, wish you good luck for the reunion show. I love all your records (most of all the first), and I always wondered how this top-musicions disappeared so fast from the scene. Especially Matt, can't understand why just Laaz Rockit tryed him, when nearly every Thrash bands had drummer problems at that time. Finally, if you'll be touring, don't forget the other part of the sea. Bye.

Max Max Duijsens <mfjduijs@tiscali.nl> Leiden, Netherlands - Tuesday, July 20, 2004 at 12:22:13 (PDT) Hey Mike Dietz here! Fucking cool site Jim and Mike!This site is just another step in the total reformation of Defiance. I can see now that there was a reason for me looking for the ex members and for the interview. It's all falling into place like a well oiled prophecy!!!Not that I am the one that created this situation but it seems fate has given me a small part in it. Well what are fans for? :) So I hear your doing a reunion show Oct 30th!! Right on! As I said keep me informed I might have some vacation time for that and a air fair. Only if all the guys promise to sign my CD's!! And if Mike agrees to show me some Defiance songs on bass! hahahaha. I like the other fans suggestion about a new album too by the way. As this saga continues..... Mike out! mike dietz <Sanitysvoid@aol.com> San Diego, CA USA - Sunday, July 18, 2004 at 01:59:01 (PDT) Coming along nicely.

Talk to you later Graham Evans <graham.evans@ramesys.com> Mansfield, UK - Wednesday, July 14, 2004 at 11:04:03 (PDT) Hope you guys , put all the album MP3s up on the site , Like the HEATHEN guys have done it.

I hope to hear a new album next year, which will devastate with performance & arrangements. no more simple thrash. this one is supposed to be a fair successor of "Beyond Recognition" Mikolaj Szczecin, Poland - Tuesday, July 06, 2004 at 06:22:42 (PDT) |
