Defender

Defender is a four-piece heavy metal band from Balingen, rooted in the classic power and heavy metal of the ’80s and ’90s. Inspired by genre legends such as Helloween, Gamma Ray, Accept, Saxon, Blind Guardian, Manowar, and themself , the band combines catchy, anthemic choruses with epic song structures and driving riffs. With their upcoming album “Titans of Fire” (release date: November 6, 2026), Defender delivers ten tracks that blend fire and steel—from the driving single “Don’t Play With Evil” (release date: August 28, 2026) to the epic, orchestral title track. Songs like “Follow the Flame” and “Gods of Desire” showcase the band’s range, from classic metal intensity to cinematic grandeur.
