Strife (band)


Strife, is an American hardcore punk band from Thousand Oaks, California. They formed in 1991.

Biography

Their first LP, One Truth, was released in 1994 by Victory Records.
Their second album, In This Defiance, was released in 1997 and includes guest appearances, with Chino Moreno of Deftones, Dino Cazares of Fear Factory and Igor Cavalera of Sepultura all taking turns on the album.
They broke up two years later citing creative differences and exhaustion. Victory Records released Truth Through Defiance, a compilation of live tracks and previously unreleased material.
They reunited in 2000, playing several benefit concerts. By the following year, they had re-formed and released Angermeans. No longer straight edge, this album was considered by the band to be a more mature and focused continuation of In This Defiance.
Since 2001, they have played several shows and tours all over the globe again, including a Japan tour with Floorpunch in 2011, a tour of South America, a European tour, and some dates in Mexico.
They traveled to Brazil to record Witness a Rebirth. Guitarist Andrew Kline commented the album would be "more along the lines of In This Defiance". It was also revealed that Igor Cavalera, formerly of Sepultura and Cavalera Conspiracy, would be handling all drum duties for the album.
