Resistant is one of the metal bands who were around when
Roadrunner Records was formed in the late 80's and they are still around.
After having released two EP's on Wild Rags and Azra Records they are now
about to unleash their debut album on their new label Seventh Generation
Records, based in their home-towm of Los Angeles, California, USA. Produced by
Schneebi (St. Vitus, Obsessed) this album is packed with a hybrid of punk,
metal and tribal rhythms. Sometimes it sounds very interesting indeed,
especially in the most atmospheric passages but I am not too fond of the male
semi-growling vocals. I also think the album is a little uneven and I would
have loved to see the songs more coherent and structured. The concept that
Resistant is trying to bring to life is a very exciting one but unfortunately
they fail at some point to make it as interesting as it could have been.
Still, this is a nice release, especially for fans of Roadrunner recording
artists like Slipknot and Machine Head. Even though I might not agree with all
the views of Resistant I like it when bands are socially aware like they seem
to be. Unfortunately I can't rate this album higher because of
that...
