Resist The Thoughts highly anticipated record 'Damnation' is sure to live up to and pummel all expectations with the band “stoked” with their finished product. “We really pushed ourselves in creating this record,” says Tim. “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 title of the album ‘Damnation’ set’s the theme for the record which revolves around the idea that humankind will be responsible for their 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”.

“Our breakdowns are intense and our riffs are fast. We really try to push the boundaries of the metal genre to create a unique sound. Each member has their own influences which we fuse together to create our own brand of metal”.

Through constant touring, the band has earned themselves a reputation as one of Australia's finest metal bands, bringing an onslaught of brutality every time they take to the stage. “We have always been a band that prefers to get our music out through live performance. Our shows are tight, energetic and brutal”.
