Article description
The message on the seventh album from Within Temptation couldnβt be clearer: Resist! Sharon den Adel says: βItβs important to resist in todayβs society, as people are put under even more pressure from societyβs institutions. Itβs a system masterminded by the powerful and dictators, but also by large corporations. We need to free ourselves if we want to make progress, instead of being watched and controlled by these higher powersβ.
This call to action is a common thread running through the tracklist on the bandβs seventh album. Four years after the release of βHydraβ, Within Temptation are back with βResistβ, a comprehensive slice of ten hymn-like tracks driven by amazing, bleak melodies. ββResistβ is a real milestone for us. If this album hadnβt come about, Within Temptation would no longer exist.β
Within Temptation didnβt stick within their boundaries, and the band pursued a new direction with the creative and writing process for the album. The sound of βResistβ is fully equipped with explosive tracks such as βThe Reckoningβ (featuring Jacoby Shaddix from Papa Roach), and the deeply profound βFirelightβ, a song originally written for Sharonβs solo project My Indigo, which features Belgiumβs greatest alternative rock singer, Jasper Sterverlink, as a guest. The single βEndless Warβ is one of the more spirited tracks on the album, featuring a chorus full of melodic hooks. βThe longer we worked on this song, the harder it got. It reflects the vibe of the whole album: a modern sound with relentless riffs and brutal drumming that shoots off hip-hop beatsβ.
