Within Temptation: Resist (2019) - CD

Dutch symphonic metal band Within Temptation releases their seventh album Resist. . The album is full of dark anthems, unassuming melodies and dark corners that take metal in a futuristic direction - both musically and thematically. "Resist is an important milestone for us. If we hadn't recorded this record, we probably wouldn't be here anymore. We drew inspiration from modern music, which we gave a very dark face. We feel that pop music today lacks a rebellious side. Our main goal was to collect fragments of sounds we liked and sharpen their edges as much as possible. The result is a new musical world. It's much heavier, dirtier and more futuristic," illuminates the album frontwoman Sharon den Adel.

Within Temptation became prominent in the Dutch underground scene after the release of their debut album Enter in 1997. Four years later, their single Ice Queen, which reached number two in the local charts, brought them to wider public attention, and in the following years they won the Conamus Exportprijs five times in a row. Two other albums, The Silent Force and The Heart of Everything, have already debuted at number one. The fifth album The Unforgiving, which was released along with a comic book and a short film, that together formed a complex story, has already become successful all over the world, where it sold over 3.5 million copies. The band's sixth album Hydra, released in 2014, only strengthened the band's position. Guest appearances on the record include Tarja Turunen, Howard Jones of Killswitch Engage and Dave Pirner of Soul Asylum.
