A year later, Strife issued their sophomore effort, In This Defiance, a recording on which the quartet attempted to broaden their sound, as it featured guest spots from members of such acclaimed non-hardcore acts as Fear Factory, Sepultura, and the Deftones. 1996 saw the release of a seven inch single, 'Grey,' as well as a home video, One Truth Live, which documented what it was like to a touring hardcore band in the вЂ90s (warts and all). Signing on with Caroline Records, Strife issued their debut album, One Truth, in 1994, before signing on with one of the country's leading hardcore labels, Victory. Comprised of members Rick Rodney (vocals), Andrew Kline (guitar), Chad Peterson (bass), and Aaron Rosi (drums), the quartet originally formed during 1991, in their home base of Los Angeles, California. And during the early to mid вЂ90s, that band was Strife.

It was also revealed that Igor Cavalera (ex- Sepultura, Cavalera Conspiracy) would be handling all drum duties for the album. Guitarist Andrew Kline commented the album would be вЂњmore along the lines of In This DefianceвЂњ. On February 1, 2012, the band announced they would head to Brazil to record an album called Witness a Rebirth. Since 2001 Strife 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. The band received some criticism from former fans for no longer being straight edge, and the apparent departure from their hardcore punk sound into what was perceived as being more akin to popular metal trends of the time. No longer straight edge, this album was considered by the band to be a more mature and focused continuation of In This Defiance. In 2000, Strife reunited to play several benefit concerts, and by the following year had officially reformed and released Angermeans. Victory Records released Truth Through Defiance, a compilation of live tracks and previously unreleased material. Two years later, Strife broke up, citing creative differences and exhaustion. It was also notable for the guest appearances, with Chino Moreno of Deftones, Dino Cazares of Fear Factory and Igor Cavalera of Sepultura all taking turns on the album. This album was also well regarded by the straight edge/hardcore community. Strife released their second album, In This Defiance in 1997.

Strife was considered one of the three вЂњbigвЂќ bands on the then-new Victory Records label, which also included Earth Crisis and Snapcase. Their first LP, One Truth, was released in 1994 by Victory Records.
