RESISTOR ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM BITE THIS! OUT MARCH 27
BAND SHARES VIDEO FOR “DEAD SOUL” — WATCH
Long Island, NY quintet RESISTOR — Anthony Grambo [vocals], Anthony Conti [guitar], Ian Schneider [bass], Anthony Arce [turntables], and Peter Smith [drums] — channel the cocky bravado of O.G. nu-metal through a prism of 21st century hardcore spiked with DJ squeals and vitriolic spitting.
Today, they announce their new album BITE THIS!, out March 27. Pre-order it here.
The band also dropped the video for “DEAD SOUL.”
“We feel ‘DEAD SOUL’ is the perfect introduction to this record,” says Schneider. “This has been one of our favorite tracks, from its initial conception to final execution. The themes of Resistor’s music have always boiled down to ‘Fuck you’ and ‘DEAD SOUL’ is no exception to that central meaning. We’re so excited to finally be able to share this song with you all and hope it resonates as strongly with you as it has with us.”
At the epicenter of extreme metal, hardcore, and nu metal, Resistor have patented their own pummeling sound—which they’ve appropriately christened “knuckle dragging wika wika core.”
They don’t just flirt with breaking genre boundaries; they proudly fuck everything up in their path.
Resistor drop grooves heavy enough that prolonged listening could either stunt your growth or split the ground beneath your feet. Either way, you’ll undoubtedly want more from the group, which harnesses a burst of concentrated energy from the respective shockwaves of their five distinct personalities and musical identities.

“Collaboration makes Resistor what it is,” states Schneider. “Every member’s hand is on the music. As a listener, you’re getting these distinct sets of influences and voices all coming together. Our vision is to maintain the heaviness and the catchiness, so it’s ignorant and genuine. Other than a few impacts and bass drops, everything was created by a live instrument. We pulled inspiration from the past, but it’s definitely modern and authentic.”
Speaking of authentic, the band originated out of a friendship forged between Conti and Grambo. They first crossed paths at a skate park, began hanging out all of the time, and eventually decided to write songs. The lineup solidified with the addition of Smith, Schneider, and Arce. They shored up their signature style with the So It Begins EP [2023] and HEADCASE EP [2025], tallying millions of streams in the process. On the road, the group notably packed houses and emerged as an outlier with enough gusto to set it off everywhere from Gathering of the Juggalos to the Inkcarceration pre-show. Throughout 2025, they pieced together BITE THIS! with producer Randy LeBoeuf [Kublai Khan TX, The Acacia Strain, Gideon].
Ultimately, Resistor live outside the neutral zone.
