We're excited to share some streaming milestones with our community today!
Our first full-length album, released in 2025, has reached 100k streams on Spotify. These songs have been instrumental in helping us grow our audience and push our creative boundaries.
Our single "Leviathan" has also broken the 10k stream barrier on Spotify. This song was a turning point for us, as it introduced our vocalist Tom and marked a shift in our sound. We're thrilled that it's resonated with so many of you.
While we don't make music for the numbers, milestones like these make us proud. We've remained independent, self-funded, and true to our vision. Thank you for your continued support. Today, we're celebrating you and the role you play in keeping our music alive.

Yea, I like Sleep token
Stream our single “Leviathan” now everywhere you listen to music. Link in our bio @defythetyrants
“This is the heaviest track we’ve dropped since
2020 - and the first single featuring our new vocalist Tom Ruisi. “Leviathan” is pissed off, brutal, and unapologetic, diving back into our deathcore roots while pushing our sound forward with a new level of electronic intensity. “Leviathan” is our return to brutal, darker, heavier Metal.”
“The insane cover art was created by Hollywood concept artist Dane Hallett, whose work has appeared in Alien: Romulus and most recently Predator: Badlands — bringing cinematic scale to a song that hits just as massive.”

In this episode, the Metalology sits down with new Defy The Tyrants members Tom Ruisi (vocals) and Jon Biong (bass) to discuss this new chapter of Defy The Tyrants. They share their stories on how they joined Defy The Tyrants during a turbulent time, some stories that have never been shared on the podcast, why they wanted to play in a band, why Defy was a perfect fit for them, and the new single “Leviathan”.
It’s a fun, casual conversation with Tom, Jon, and other Defy members (and Metalology hosts) Anthony and Jandro. This episode is also full of awkward funniness between the four members Defy The Tyrants and their former bassist Alberto (also a host of Metalology).

“LEVIATHAN” IS OUT NOW. 🔥
This is the heaviest track we’ve dropped since 2020 — and the first single featuring our new vocalist Tom Ruisi. “Leviathan” is pissed off, brutal, and unapologetic, diving back into our deathcore roots while pushing our sound forward with a new level of electronic intensity.
The insane cover art was created by Hollywood concept artist Dane Hallett (@dane_hallett_art ), whose work has appeared in Alien: Romulus and most recently Predator: Badlands — bringing cinematic scale to a song that hits just as massive.
Turn it up!
Stream “Leviathan” now. Links in our bio @defythetyrants
