User Album Review
Resist boasts generous tides of symphonic metal while not quite relying on its laurels to carry it. Hiding within are many sonic nuances. Like digging through a musical treasure chest and finding gems in ordinary items. While there are some great points of interest, you need to be patient if you want to find them.
Opening this dark opus is “The Reckoning” which introduces itself to listeners with a battle-like fanfare. As if it were preparing an army and calling them to arms. Sharon den Adel’s voice seems to soar, while Jacoby Shaddix of Papa Roach provides a solid, deeper contrast. The result infuses more of a hard rock edge into the song.
“Endless War” goes in a different direction. The beat is reminiscent of something you’d find in modern hip hop. It sounds like a strange combination, and perhaps it is. It does add a nice, unexpected groove to the song. There is a beautiful piano piece hiding underneath which is only entirely noticeable as the outro.
Over all, the album is enjoyable but maybe not as much as it could be. Unless you’re a die hard fan of Within Temptation or similar bands, you may find the songs blending together. While the highlights are enough to capture your interest, they are just too sparse to hold it from beginning to end. If symphonic metal is your thing, you’ll probably want to give this a listen.
