The Band originally formed in 2003 consisting of Rick on Guitar, Jake on drums and Matt on bass and then later on vocals as well. They started off mucking around and playing music just for the fun of it and played a few shows at the ages of 11 and 14.
Over the years they have gone through and experimented with all styles of music and have played just about anything to everything. The boys got to a certain stage in time where they realised that they wanted to take things further than the spare room and recruit new members to suit a heavier genre. School friends Alex Miezio on bass and Timmy Aaron on guitar were then added to the line up of the band in early 2007. Miezio playing bass for the band resulted in Matt taking the full time front man position on vocals. They wrote a few songs and played a few shows until later on going separate way with bass player Alex.
Matt then decided to go back to his roots on bass and search for a new singer. Old friend Rhys Giles was found as the new vocalist completing the line-up in late July 2007. Resist The Thought as much as a family as a band has worked persistently to create their own sound and style and live for music. The band writes the music for their own satisfaction but loves the fans that they have and really appreciates their support.
Legion
Resist The Thought Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
a world we once called home now infected by parasites
we march forward to our mortality one by one
beware the trumpet sounds
this plague has been unleashed upon this bloodshed town
you face extermination, so we prepare for war
if we don't save ourselves we'll perish in the storm
I, I fight for glory
marching the desolate wastelands of earth
I, I fight for grievance
like wolves we hunger for the flesh of mankind
nowhere to run
your demise has begun
the prophets warned that this day would come
where the sky will fall in flames and the demon grows in lust
all things that breath will turn to dust
I've become an abomination
craving the blood of the mutilated
consumed by greed, and I'm fuelled by hatred
I'll take the fate of an entire nation
so save yourself
the prophets warned that this day would come
I smell the fear of death lingering in the air tonight
the dark, the cold, the hollow souls of the darkest lords are bleeding humanity dry
such a desolate wasteland
where the angels reduced to a fiend
a perfect setting for an apocalyptic scene
and I the tyrant would descend upon the earth
to burn the kingdom and release the truth
In "Legion," Resist The Thought sings about a world destroyed by parasites, where death looms in the air and humanity is facing extermination. The lyrics warn that the end is near and those who survive must be prepared to fight for their lives. The singer fights for glory and grievance, acting like a hungry wolf, but he also acknowledges that he has become an abomination fueled by greed and hatred. The song paints a dystopian picture of the future where darkness and coldness have replaced humanity and angels have turned into fiends.
The lyrics of Legion have been interpreted as a metaphor for the destruction of society caused by greed, corruption, and general human decadence. The parasitic infection could represent the destructive forces that corrode society from within, eventually leading to its downfall. The song seems to suggest that the world will end in chaos and violence, and that the only chance for survival is to fight and resist to the best of one's abilities.

Awesome! Sounds sick, keep up the good work gents.
@Dairyism
Saw these guys play with suicide silence. After that night, I went out and bought damnation, and as soon as it came out, sovereignty. Fuck they are just brutal as fuck.
@Lbcyoung
I don't know why these guys broke up, they were being more globally diffused than ever, and the future was preparing something very special for them if they kept up with their rare talent. Trust me: regardless of the reason that has led to this decision, they will regret it. They had a lot of potential and energy for a better future.
Anyways, thanks for your amazing music, but what you are doing is a waste of talent.
