How to get those classic IN FLAMES GUITAR SOUNDS

[@SpectreSoundStudios]

FUCKING AWESOME! Thanks for sharing! HUGE fan of this guitar sound!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks man! 🤘🔥

[@MattyMorrissey]

Glenn, I think Euge would be an utterly awesome guest on your channel. Ridiculously talented guitar player and seems like a very cool guy from his videos

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Would be cool! Hit me up with an email Glenn if you’d be up for that: [e-mail]

[@MetalZoned]

Dude you should have Euge on your channel sometime, I think your viewers would really appreciate his insight

[@Vestu]

Glenn! Euge needs more visibility and support :) you're both awesome

[@garettjackson1791]

Unbelievable track that could have absolutely been on Colony or Clayman!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks Garett!

[@CottonInDerTube]

@@EugeValovirta230V I really like in flames. But i dont know all their songs ect. And i really thought that you 1. played an original in flames song and 2. played an original in flames track in the background. Huge respect, man!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Oh cool thanks man! 🙏☺️

[@anderslundahl3066]

For a few seconds I honestly believed that too😅 I thought to myself: " what the hell, I'm supposed to know and be able to identify ANY In Flames song...what have I missed here?!" Then after a few more seconds I realized that he was playing something else that was just supposed to sound similar haha Anyway absolutely impressive Euge!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! We actually recorded & finished that track properly with Cyhra and it’s on the forthcoming album 🤟.

[@AlexH8280]

You absolutely nailed it. Not just the tone, but In Flames would struggle to write a better In Flames song than that. Well done.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! 🤟🙏😎

[@ChrisM1992-1]

Bleeding Out or Us Against the World.. dummy

[@aninfinitemindofmusicandreams]

Love this tone so much. As a big fan of old melodeath and 2000s metalcore, this tone is pretty much perfect for these genres.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Indeed 💪👌

[@TheGgreen100]

Jesus, that Intro. I would buy an album of songs like that. Clicked the Subscribe button because of it! The world needs more "Jester Race to Colony" era In Flames records from before they became... well, whatever they are now. I spoke to Bjorn once, right around the end of that period, and he told me the key to his sound was "5150's, EMG's, and a lot of wood."

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Glad to hear! That sums it up pretty well 👌😎.

[@IllusionaryFuneral]

Lunar Strain was a great album as well, and we can’t forget the Subterranean EP.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thick neck & body ’cos at the end of the day electric guitar works kinda like acoustic guitar: the more (good quality) wood, the fuller (better) the sound 😎.

[@TheGgreen100]

@Vinter Just repeating verbatim what Bjorn told me. :) My guess is that he was referring to his Les Paul Custom (which is a pretty hefty guitar) and the 4x12 cabs he used to record as well. Not 100% sure what those were but I believe at the time, Studio Fredman kept ENGL 4x12's around. Not sure if Bjorn used those or Marshall cabs. Small chance it was a Mesa 4x12 but I doubt it.

[@IllusionaryFuneral]

@@TheGgreen100 I don’t think that’s ALWAYS true, but then again, I only have anecdotal evidence to go off of, so take my reply with a grain of salt. I noticed out of all my guitars, my Flying V’s tend to sound the best, both plugged in and acoustically. I even use the same pickups in most of my guitars (other than my 7 string because they don’t make these pups for 7s), EMG Het Set. Their bodies are also all made of Mahogany. The fretboard and neck woods kinda vary, so it’s not the most consistent and fair comparison, so again, take what I’m saying with a grain of salt.

[@jeretiitta7424]

That intro song brought smile to my face. Definitely captures the spirit from that era! Great in-depth content

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks man!

[@TheJohnnee]

This song sounds like the Reroute era with some elements of their more classic records from the late 90s.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

And it made it’s way to our latest album 🤟: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnvWlJaPpp6gftUsi=SPUPH0tKmH0RGD8s

[@trendmassacre8423]

The Reroute To Remain tone sounds much different than Their earlier tones, even though Reroute is a killer album!

[@MusiCaninesTheMusicalDogs]

Woah, man! This is s complete master class, and completely for free! You're the man, Euge!

I was like a small child whatching this video, these 3rds are the thing i connect the most when riffing, can't expained what i feel when i listen to those patterns. sounds BIG As an In Flames fan i can tell you, that song you've made is top top notch, could be apart of an In Flames album for sure, well done Euge \m/

I had this song’s main rhythm in my head multiple times recently and couldn’t remember what song it was from. Incredible. Love this video and this sound.

[@brandonliptak6308]

Even as a non-guitar player/person with no musical talent, I've loved this guitar tone from the first second it hit my ears. Early IF hold a special place for me, so it's beyond cool to learn about the "magic" behind it. Thank you for posting this! Also, as others have said, you nailed it with your original song. Great work.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks Brandon! Glad to hear! 🙏☺️

[@ZachWish]

That tune is ripping! Great job man!

[@DermoniS]

I am expecting more In Flames related stuff from your channel too :)

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks Zach!

[@andreamantelliproductions]

Wow Euge, awesome video! I'm a huge in flames fan knowing how to play almost every single song of their "Jesper era" (yes, I'm crazy) but I would never have guessed they used an HM2 on older albums, even if I listened and analyzed them a lot of times.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks man!

[@jyoutube1233]

In fact Jester Race was an HM2 and an MT2 into a Valvestate! This blending a normal tone with HM2 didn’t happen until Colony.

[@nathanhyde2079]

Yep, I knew they also used a Boss Metal Zone.

[@Elrinth]

Big fan of In Flames old sound here! Great tutorial! Love it when you brought up the volume of the bass alittle.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Glad to hear! Thanks!

[@Grand_Alchemist]

Thank you for making this video. Really great insights into early In Flames sounds! I know that I'm not alone in wishing there were more "classic In Flames" type melodic death metal bands.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! Really glad to hear this! 🤟🙏

[@ktuuzu]

Euge, this video is incredibly well made. The breakdown of the song, recording technique, playing technique and approach is not only helpful to other musicians and mixers, but also a joy to watch the classic IF sound deconstructed and resurrected! Many have tried to get that sound, few have succeeded. One question: are you recording direct via IRs because of the sound quality (which was awesome) or due to limitations in micing up a loud amp cabinet? If you had the choice, would you mic up a cab, or do you feel that IRs make this (mostly) irrelevant now? Awesome video again and my thanks for the effort!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! The combo of the Suhr Reactive Load and Jens Bogren IR is so good that it feels & sounds like playing with a real cab. Actually could be even better ’cos I don’t have to worry with phase issues which can happen when you mic a cab with multiple mics etc. And I can crank the amps and record in complete silence if I want to 👌😎.

[@kpot1242]

That was incredible!! Thanks for providing such detail on the gear, tone, and recording tricks!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Glad you liked it! We made the song for real to our latest album: cyhra.bfan.link/tvtglp , cyhra.com/

[@MrTjandra]

Man this is gold. I think the community would welcome if you and Jesper would make an album summarizing the style of Jester Race - Clayman in an new modern original way with what you can do now. Thanks and much love!

Hey mate, I've been looking for this tone for a long time! I gave up looking for it years ago because every answer was "it's just Overdrive with a 5150" but it was never quite right. It was missing that secret sauce that was the HM-2. Thanks so much for uploading this, the song's absolutely awesome too! Going to go check out Cyhra now.

Euge, your style from the moment you open your video to the end with no hype is perfect! You're real! Back in late '99, I heard Colony, then a couple of years later Reroute to Remain blew me away that no other metal scene has done. Since then In Flames sound has been a favorite! Thank you for the breakdown of your take of the In Flames classic sound. I always and do really appreciate your approach and willingness to share your valuable musical intellect! Always look forward to your videos, Thank you!

[@AshtonFitness]

You absolutely nailed this. I've seen tutorials like this before and thought "yeah, it's close, but it's not quite like the real thing", but THIS was completely accurate! Also, that original song you made in the style of In Flames was incredible. It sounded great AND actually sounded like an In Flames song. I'm so used to these kinds of videos not living up to my expectations that this really blew me away. Also, nice audio quality, cool camera angle, nice lighting, and good editing.

[@TheDynamite333]

I've just watched this and I'm amazed. For me, the most astonishing and iconic guitar sound of all is in the "Jester Race" album. There are some info about the rhythm guitar but absolutely nothing about the lead sound which is incredibly unique. It is may be somehow easy to mimic (not even talking about replicating) but I couldn't find anyway to do so...That lead sound is the real secret.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

🤟🙏

[@biffstronghold3926]

I know what you mean. The lead sound on that album is incredible. It's very fluid and processed sounding. It sounds like he used some kind of tape delay for the echo as well.

[@TheDynamite333]

@@biffstronghold3926 Right? Very fluid indeed, never heard something similar to that sound. It almost sounds like synth but on the contrary I guess the signal path is something very simple, may be a simple fuzz distortion before the amp, I don't know...

[@andym28]

I didn't hear much inflames apart from seeing them with slayer and arch enemy in 06 but that combo of sounds is beautiful. Wish I never sold my 5150.
