Resist (Extended Deluxe)

Dutch symphonic metallers Within Temptation are back and armed with a new set of tunes. The band will release their seventh album, Resist, on December 14. It marks their follow-up to 2014’s Hydra. This will be the longest gap between albums of Within Temptation’s career, primed by a personal crisis of inspiration from frontwoman Sharon den Adel.

As revealed exclusively in the new issue of Metal Hammer, Dutch symphonic metal supremos Within Temptation are returning with their seventh album this winter following months of turmoil and uncertainty within the band.

Speaking about the record itself, vocalist Sharon Den Adel says the band have taken inspiration from modern music, but given it a "dark" face.

“Sometimes it feels that today’s pop music lacks a rebellious edge. Our main goal was to collect pieces from sounds we did like then roughen the whole thing up as much as we could, allowing us to shape a new musical world that is heavier, dirtier and more futuristic than we’ve ever created before. Resist is our new take on metal; our way of giving a fresh lease of life to the rebellious edge of modern music.”

Resist is also the band's first release through Spinefarm Records, signing a worldwide deal with Universal Music Germany.

"We are beyond excited to have signed to the biggest record label," says Sharon. "Combining our strength with such a thriving, forward-looking force in the music industry, we are sure that we can make magic happen.”

推特上Sharon和Amy亲口确认，明年Within Temptation将和Evanescence开启联合巡演，两个都是金属摇滚界的大神!希望巡演能大爆!双粉看到这个消息表示很激动!!!

说实话整个乐队一把年纪了还能出歌是真的不容易了，有的听就偷着乐吧[吐舌]，还有这专粉丝盒也超棒[呆]

对于一个基本上全听金属的人来说，这张专辑和她们以往的确实不同，氛围渲染的淋漓尽致，有点后硬核和电子结合的感觉，把战争中的绝望 无奈和背水一战的决心刻画的极致

听wt也很多年了，期间也听不少其他类型的音乐，也渐渐发现音乐世界的广博，虽然wt这张新砖和之前的差别很大，实在不对口味，但我不会认为难听，始终记得wt最初给我的感动和满足。对wt也有些理解，知道sharon他们喜欢创新，爱尝试不同，支持一下吧。目前还没有热评，求上。

以前的风格那么精彩那么浩瀚...现在的风格很不喜欢，也许真的不好听了也许是我没听习惯，虽然也有惊艳的地方呢……总之每个人不管各行各业都应该向你们的精神学习，保持创新保持突破，去找到更好的自己！你还是那个最好的WT！

个人觉得这张也蛮惊艳的，一个乐队不可能从始至终都保持一种风格，不论是追求自身的突破还是为了回应乐迷的期待，它都需要发展和改变。至于“商业流行”，在一个商业社会，这是无法改变的事实。有哪个乐队是完全与商业绝缘的？

你WT再流行也是WT。。想什么呢。。听就完事儿了
