Product of Society was the debut album by thrash metal band Defiance. It was released in 1989 on Roadracer Records. It was the only album by Defiance to feature Ken Elkington on vocals and had cover art by Ed Repka. The first album is much more straight forward simple thrash metal style then their other albums, which would have more progressive sound until The Prophecy.
Re-released in 2008 by Metal Mind Productions from Poland as a new digipack edition on golden disc, digitally remastered using 24-Bit process and limited to numerated 2000 copies.
Annihilator guitarist Jeff Waters produced the album. However the band was very unsatisfied with his production, which sounds very thin and takes away from the thrash metal crunch that gives the music its tonal identity. Apparently, Waters was also behaving unprofessionally as well.
