"Fittingly titled 'Scars,' the ravaging 12-track follow-up to the last year's Rise From Treason teaser EP is an old-school death metal flashback that brings listeners to a time when bands like Entombed, Grave and Dismember proved how insanely brutal yet immensely captivating and technically adept extreme music can be. "With a lineup as heavy as their musical adventure, The Resistance features within its ranks some of Scandinavia's most esteemed musicians with In Flames' founder (and main songwriter until his departure in 2010) Jesper Strömblad on guitar alongside second guitarist Glenn Ljungström (ex-In Flames), vocalist Marco Aro (ex-The Haunted, Facedown) and drummer Chris Barkensjö (ex-Kaamos, ex-Repugnant)."
