Label: Spinefarm Records
Mark Morton said of the new track:
“Myles was our first and only choice for ‘Save Defiance’. He’s such a tremendous talent and a remarkably down-to-earth and humble dude. Even before the instrumental pre-production demo was finished, we knew we were going to ask Myles to sing on it. We felt like it was a perfect fit for his voice. He dug the track and made it his own. I’m grateful to have had the chance to work with him.”
Kennedy adds:
“Having the opportunity to work with Mark was a really cool experience. I’d been a fan of his work with Lamb Of God for a long time so I was honored when he asked if I wanted to sing on his record. Mark did a great job creating a track that would be inspiring for me to sing over. The first time I heard the music, a melody and lyric popped into my head. The creative process felt pretty effortless. I am really happy with how the song turned out overall.”
