Defy (Transparent Vinyl)

A little danger makes rock music memorable. Tapping into the spirit of rebelliousness, OTHERWISE embrace nonconformity on their fifth full-length album, Defy, available November 8th through Mascot Records. Since their self-titled independent debut in 2006, OTHERWISE's quiet grind elevated the group to the forefront of 21st century rock. Along the way, they tallied 40 million-plus streams and shared the stage with everyone from Stone Sour to Papa Roach, in addition to monstrous sets at Welcome To Rockville, Rocklahoma, and Shiprocked!, to name a few.

Enlisting the help of producer Matt Good (Asking Alexandria, Hollywood Undead, Memphis May Fire, From First To Last, The Word Alive), OTHERWISE hold nothing back on the new album. They made it a point to push the boundaries of their signature style in terms of both song craft and sonic experimentation alike. "We hinted at an explorative spirit before, but this new record is the full embrace of that adventurousness," states lead vocalist Adrian Patrick. "It feels like we finally got to where we're supposed to be, creatively speaking. It's a new chapter all-around, and we're fired up about it." He continues, "Matt is the fastest and most creative, prolific producer we've ever worked with. He's the kind of guy we've always wanted in our corner."
