Sydney metal outfit Resist the Thought are preparing to unleash their debut album Damnation. The disc will hit stores on May 7 through New Justice Records.
It’s been a long time coming for fans of the band who formed in 2007, but Resist the Thought assure us it’s worth the wait.
“We really pushed ourselves in creating this record,” said guitarist Tim Aaron. “We took six months off touring and just focused on writing and demoing. From the start, we had the intention of making a timeless record we are all proud of.”
The disc explores the not so cheery theme that humankind will bring about its own destruction.
“A lot of the lyrics are based on the concept of greed and corruption ruling the earth, which will ultimately lead to the damnation of mankind,” he explained.
Resist the Thought has a reputation has one of Australia’s finest live metal bands, and they’re keen to show us how they earned it on their Damnation tour. Expect a tight and energetic set at the following gigs.
