The Resistance was a Swedish death metal band formed in 2011 by former members of In Flames, Grave, and The Haunted.
In an interview with Close Up, they stated that the labels were unwilling to sign the band without getting hand on an actual recording.
"It makes you want to kick in someone's forehead when listening to the album", according to Jesper Strömblad, the band's guitarist.
[1] With Jesper Strömblad leaving to go into rehab and Marco Aro returning to The Haunted, on 17 May 2016, a 'game over' profile picture appeared on their Facebook page, signalling the band has ceased all activities.
[citation needed] On 22 July 2016, their Facebook presence was removed, further indicating the band are no longer together.
