@cellander: yeah, one of the staff member had a promo because he write for a French webzine aside and had to do the interview with Björn.
I also work for another webzine and should receive a second promo soon.
About The Resistance:
Here is the magazine page:

And a rough translation:
"It's time to play the guitar instead of the computer, tells Jesper Strömblad. The diehard WoW fan is still curious about the latest expansion "Cataclysm", but the account is frozen until further notice. The game eats up a lot of time that would be placed on songwriting, as guitarist writes, he has now just massive adrenaline kicks in "Cod: MW" on night.
I stick to the brain dead pangpang now, he says. But WoW has been a lifesaver for many tragic days on tour.
I have a few guys, so I might begin this fall.
If no new project The Resistance starts eating up all the available playing time. The quintet is still in its development phase, but the setting feels stable: Marco Aro (Facedown, ex-The Haunted) on vocals, Glenn Ljungström (Dimension Zero, ex-In Flames) on guitar, Alex Losback Holstad (Despite, ex-Decameron, Cardinal Sin) on bass and Christofer Barkensjö (Carnal Forge, Kaamos, Face Down, ex-Repugnant ) on drums.
Thanks to modern technology, we sit in different places and put together riffs and ideas for songs, explains the guitarist. A demo with two or three songs to be up on Myspace soon. Musikalist we want to get away from the current In Flames sound. Instead, we still stuck to what we listened to when the band started. We have always loved the hardcore scene: simple but explosive music, as Hatebreed, Madball and Carnivore.
An important prerequisite for the The Resistance is that everyone involved has the same ambition: no one wants to redo its twenties and ride a van to Czech Republic for seventeen hours with a crate of beer as payment.
Tour six or seven months a year is nothing I'd jump in again. We're releasing an album and doing some festival gigs for the fun of it. The others have jobs and children to think about, but it's precisely why they are extra excited. Marco has not been active since Face Down released their latest album in 2005. We have heard of him thanks to "Call Of Duty". He is a great guy with a hell of a voice, by far the best singer in The Haunted. Glenn has been known how to scratch fingers for ten years, and as he sputters out the riffs he is as phenomenal as usual. I remain a partner in IF Studios, so we have every opportunity to make good demos and mix there.
Personally, Jesper sat at home and "had a gap year" in anticipation of creating the desire to come back. Now he is stronger than ever. Reactions on the network has not been long in coming, although no one outside the band heard a single note. Besides that two more original members from In Flames are involved in The Resistance than In Fames themselves.
The really hardcore fans must think it's great that Glenn and I play in the same band since we formed In Flames. Then it's almost scary how long we have been doing. Today's In Flames' fans were hardly born when we started playing and think "Lunar Strain".
If anyone is wondering - yes, Jesper second group, melodic death metal inferno Dimension Zero, still exists. Though the waiting for a new album may take up a good while.
There are at least four to five years since the last album and it is not an issue at this time because Joakim (Gothberg, vocals, ex-IF, Marduk) has Nifters and Daniel (Antonsson, guitar, ex-Soilwork) is busy with Dark Tranquillity. We continue to exist as a band, but it's the world's laziest."
Cant wait for that demo to be published.
