Defences have completed numerous U.K. tours with multiple sell-out headline shows, not to mention numerous festival appearances including Download, Takedown, Turbulence, Burn It Down and UK Tech-Metal Festival. These shows and releases, combined with the online community being cultivated in their #TheHeart fan page, ensures that the band remains connected with their constantly growing fanbase as they move into their next era.
This chapter of the band sees a tonal departure from previous releases, leaning heavily on a much more current, atmospheric sound, full of foreboding. This feeling of unease is personified in the corrupted version of frontwoman Cherry Duesbury seen in this new era. The upcoming releases move through contemporary dark pop passages, to crushing instrumental stabs while maintaining the crucial hook-ridden energy that has permeated the band’s music to date.
