Swedish death metal pioneer Jesper Strömblad, formerly of In Flames, is currently supporting the first full-length album from his new band The Resistance alongside guitarist Glenn Ljungström (ex-In Flames), drummer Chris Barkensjö (ex-Kaamos, ex-Repugnant), and vocalist Marco Aro (ex-The Haunted, Facedown).
