Mark Hernandez(RE:IGNITION, DEFIANCE, FORBIDDEN, SOCIAL UNREST) is one of the most dynamic and solid drummers in Hard Rock/Heavy Metal today. His aggressive attack and technical ability shine in RE:IGNITION's release "Empty Heart, Loaded Gun". Mark's playing takes you across the spectrum from rhythemic, almost tribal, to melodic.

Mark has proven himself over and over from his time in one of the most respected thrash metal bands of all time VIO-lence and more recently with RE:IGNITION and the rebirth of DEFIANCE. Mark has recently sat behind the thrones with thrash metal legends HEATHEN and now with FORBIDDEN. Mark will be one of the most watched drummers in Hard rock & Heavy Metal for years to come.
