"Beyond Recognition" is the third full-length album by American thrash metal band Defiance, released in 1992 on Roadrunner Records. It was a bit of a departure from the band's previous work. Their newer, more distinctive and progressive style earned the band their biggest critical success to date, and many fans hail it as their finest work. Former Heathen vocalist Dave White makes a guest appearance on the track "Inside looking Out", doing a vocal harmony with Steev Esquivel during the chorus line. The cover art is made by Ed Repka who is beging known as "King of Trash metal Art".
