The follow-up to 2012’s “Warface” is described in a press release as “a natural progression” from its predecessor, featuring influences covering a wide range of musical styles, from modern metal to old-school rock and punk.

With influences covering a wide range of musical styles, from modern metal to old-school rock and punk, DEF-CON-ONE has been described by the organizers of Bloodstock Open Air festival (where the band played in 2011) as a bar fight between MACHINE HEAD, SLAYER and PANTERA.
DEF-CON-ONE is on a mission to spread its sound and infect the world with songs such as the “Warface” title track and “Steeped In Pain”, which offer up huge slabs of aggressive, groove-laden riffs, beats and vocals.
A solid couple of years of gigs in 2011 and 2012 increased DEF-CON-ONE’s fan base and saw them play the length and breadth of the U.K.
