“Coup De Grace” reconnects with the one and only, original extreme hard-core and slams it straight down your throat and into the present age. The ferocious and relentless pureness makes it a masterpiece, as the overwhelming aggression encloses and doesn't let you go.
The Resistance’s greatly line-up is as powerful as their music: The five Swedish musicians are already heroes in Scandinavian extreme metal.
In Flame’s founding member (and main songwriter until his departure in 2010) Jesper Strömblad is one of the "columns" of the huge Resistance sound. Glenn Ljungström (ex-In Flames), vocalist Marco Aro (The Haunted, ex-Face Down), drummer Chris Barkensjö (ex-Kaamos, ex-Grave) and the new addition Rob Hakemo (ex-M.A.N.) on bass complete The Resistance’s high calibre line-up.
Nowhere near as good as Torture Tactics, this is more like Hardcore. Horrible production, sounds like the old 80’s style. Maybe that’s what they were going for.
I know what you mean. I have the feeling that there are alot of bands that are now going for this sound for some reasons. I don’t digg it at all….
