Resistance

Metal-Punk-Stoner

Resistance,  a Belgian extreme metal band founded by Ben (Bass) initially started out as a metal influenced straight forward hardcore band but after several line-up changes and new members bringing new influences to the table, the band turned more and more into the full on death metal beast it is today, with only traces left of their hardcore background.

Resistance released their debut album "Trauma" in 2006 through Apache Productions. With this crushing album, the band started to build its sound and reputation by playing more and more shows in Belgium and abroad.

2008 was a significant year in the history of Resistanceasthe bandcame with a second album, "Two Sides of a Modern World", released via Alveran Records in April 2008. Produced by Xavier Carion (Channel zero) and mastered by Jacob Hansen, this new effort is a mixture of sub-genres of extreme metal like death and black, but still included influences from their love of hardcore. Bands like Kataklysm, All shall Perish, Despised Icon, Machine Head, Heaven Shall Burn and Meshuggah all became important bands that helped shape their powerful sound.To promote this new effort, Resistance hit the road with Brazilian metal legends Sepultura and death core band All Shall Perish and manages to hold their own on stages all across Europe decimating audiences as they go.

With their third album “Lords of Torment” recorded by Xavier Carion again and mixed, mastered in Montreal (CA) by Jean-Francois Dagenais (Kataklysm, Despised Icon),Resistance signs a new record deal and join the GSR Music family which helped the band appears on festivals such as Neurotic Death Fest (NL), Hell Fest (FR), Dour Festival (BE) and tour Europe 5 times between 2009 and 2011. Probably one of the Metal Belgian band that toured the most abroad ! In May 2011, Resistance once again entered Jonathas studio with Xavier Carion for the recording of their 4th album entitled "TO JUDGE AND ENSLAVE". With a new label to work with in the name of HBR Productions, Resistance releases "TO JUDGE AND ENSLAVE" in January 2012. In order to promote this new effort, the band has planned couple of exclusive shows in Belgium, will appear on festivals during summer and is joining the next Blitzkrieg tour in March with polish death metal band VADER.
