Hinter den Modern Death Outfit ACT OF DENIAL verbergen sich, neben Lead Gitarrist und Songwriter Voi Cox (Koziak, Victim) und seinem Co. Luger auch andere große Namen des Thrash und Death Metals. Zur Zeit offenbar Mitglieder von Death bzw. Testament, Soilwork und Septicflesh. Also allesamt Schwergewichte. Zur Band gehören Vocalist Björn Strid (Soilwork), Bassist Steve Di Giorgio (Death, Testament), Drummer Kerim Lechner (Septicflesh) und Keyboarder John Lönnmyr (The Night Flight Orchestra). Dazu kommen noch Special Guests wie Bobby Koelble (Death), Peter Wichers (ex-Soilwork), Matias „IA“ Eklundh (Freak Kitchen) und Ron ‘’Bumblefoot’’ Thal (Guns N‘ Roses, Sons of Apollo), die den All-Star Status der Band komplettieren. Das Ergebnis klingt überraschend modern und kann auf dem Album ‘Negative‘ nachgehört werden.

Bjorn Strid über ‚Slave‘:

„Hi, i’m here to talk a little bit about ACT OF DENIAL’s new single ‚Slave‘. This song really brings you back to the late 90s and early 2000s, at least that’s what i feel. I was part of the scene, I released the first record with Soilwork in 1998. and this defenetely brings me back and it has all trademarks and the bluesy break down, and that’s something what we always had from back then. The chorus is very majestic and super melodic and has 2001 written all over it. Loving this song and i hope you’ll enjoy it too. It’s cool.“
