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.
Resurrect The Reaper
Resist the Thought Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Consider me gone, banished from society no more than four years ago, and I regret nothing.
For they are the brainwashed succumbed to be self loathing slaves, they're ignorant to ideals
I speak of, I teach of, I preach of, I live by, an eternity of torment could never entice me to trade.
The years I've forsaken them, a miserable, inhuman race
I refuse to be like one of them, like one of you, the comatose, the mass produced, the lost souls marching in unison to their graves.
Fuck the idea of fate, its pathetic,
I'll create my own destiny, I'll never stop until I achieve global domination.
A lost creation
Resurrect the reaper, clear these fucking clones, bare witness to the bloodshed brewing in my bones,
I'll mutilate machines, slit their fucking throats, society is doomed
Eradicate entity, send them all to hell, feel the fucking force that you have let prevail, I am now your prophet, I am now your god
I will ensure the downfall of the world,
Speak these words unspoken,
Such an ugly reality, this existence is false
I hold the key to salvation,
To reality, a lost creation
This false existence crushing down on me
I hold the key to salvation
I speak these words, unspoken
A lost creation, ensuring the downfall of the world.
A lost creation, speak these words unspoken, a lost creation, I will ensure the downfall of the world

His vocals are so phenomenal. Just proves that inhales are just as good as exhales.

Broke my heart when these guys broke. they were already one of my favorite bands with just 3 records out, would have loved to hear another album from these guys

Seriously man, I don't know anyone that does inhales that sound this good. I had hard time believing that all his vocals are inhales when I was told that that's all he does.

GOd this sounds like black dahlia murder. Once the vocalist perfects his voice he will be god tier amongst cj and trevor imo. You can already hear him hitting specific notes, very melodic. Cant wait too see this band in the future
