In 2008. some new promo stuff called Promo 2008 was recorded for the upcoming album Without Religion There Is No Fear, but because of some problems band split-up.
After band's split-up in 2009. while everything was on hold-on, Defiant's founder Kris worked on some new music, more brutal than previous stuff.
2011. was a new beginning for a band; a new blood was recruited and after few shows with a new line-up, Defiant was ready for recording a new album Era of Substitution, which was more extreme than previous work of the band.

In 2015. Defiant recorded their third album Morbid Spiritual Illness with the new line up after a two-year break. New album Morbid Spiritual Illness is recorded in Studio Armageddon and Defiant signed the contract with label from Switzerland „Miner Recordings“.
