Act Of Defiance are streaming their debut effort Birth And The Burial in full.

The album drops via Metal Blade this Friday, with pre-orders still available through the label at this location.

Additionally, the band have announced a North American headlining tour with support from Allegaeon. Guitarist Chris Broderick said of the album and upcoming tour:

“We spent a lot of time and effort on Birth And The Burial to get it to sound as good as it possibly could, and we are not only excited for it’s release this Friday August 21st and the fact that everyone can stream it, but also to announce that we will be heading out on tour to support it in October!!! It’s one thing to get a CD to sound great, but now we have to live up to that sound live as well, and I know from talking to Shawn, Henry, and Matt that we are going to bring it!!! The tour will be with our Metal Blade record label mates Allegaeon. I urge you to pick up the CD and then come see us live to compare and contrast Hahahah.”
