Rappers React To In Flames "Meet Your Maker"!!!

[@hollowman7669]

The new In Flames album is absolutely insane 🤘🤘

[@BiologistRyan]

soilworks overgivenheten is just nuts too.

[@hollowman7669]

Yes, one of their best albums ever made!!

[@flu1dz]

I'm so glad to see people still loving In Flames. I was a kid when I discovered these guys (I am 34 years old) and I remember hiding their music from my mom because of her religion.. but my dad welcomed it! (They split when I was 4 so he didn't care what she thought) Such a fucking great band! Have a great day guys

[@jeffthejinjer]

These guys have been playing since early 90's! Definitely more melodic metal than Hardcore, but a lot of Hardcore fans like In Flames as well. You'll hear the difference if you listen to HC bands like Madball, BioHazard, Agnostic Front, H20 etc...

[@dmphax]

Just watched some Biohazard footage from Milwaukee Metal Fest, they still got it! 🤘🤘

[@tubelious]

IF is the most classic example of Melodic Death Metal, there's nothing hardcore about them - except how awesome their guitar melodies wer in the '90-

[@punkjay4681]

First time I've heard anyone call em hardcore 😂

[@bob-ov4iq]

In flames - voices In flames - deliver us In flames - the whole album … I, the mask Btw that’s guitarist playing the solo is Chris Broderick one of the best in the world , he’s played with megadeth, nevermore

[@cocoscannon]

I saw them live last year at knotfest they where even better live

[@johnmartin9854]

The band you guys were thinking of with female singer wearing red might have been In This Moment

[@dmphax]

Believe you are thinking of "My Apocalypse" by Arch Enemy (Angela Gossow is their vocalist on that album & she is wearing red in the video). Both Arch Enemy and In Flames are Melodic Death Metal.

[@themetalhippieplays7993]

The lead guitarist went from Megadeth to In Flames, which is mind blowing for us swedes who are so proud of In Flames and the whole melodic Death metal scene that we originated and that spawned so many american bands that would sound completely different if it wasn’t for bands like In Flames, At the Gates and Arch Enemy.

[@stephanniebrewster2968]

In Flames are a Gothenburg Melodic Death Metal band founded in 1990.

[@cmdrdredd]

The guitar player on the solo is Chris Broderick. You may recognize him from Megadeth a few years back.

[@michaelortizxp]

I started listening to In Flames in 1996 with The Jester Race . I back tracked all their catalog. I love In Flames.

[@psc69nyc]

In Flames was the pioneer of Melodic Death Metal.

[@Tob0gganMD]

This comment will probably get buried, but In Flames is one of the pioneers of a metal subgenre called Melodic Death Metal (sometimes shortened to "Melodeath"), and it's one of my absolute favorite styles of music. I would love it if you guys would check out more. You've actually dipped your toes into it on a few other reactions, like Arch Enemy (I think this was the female-fronted band you mentioned in this video) and Kalmah (which you guys reacted to a long time ago and I was shocked to see since they aren't a huge name but are one of my favorites). Along with In Flames, the other members of the big 3 of melodic death metal are Dark Tranquillity and At The Gates. All three of them are from a suburb of the city of Gothenburg, Sweden and are very intertwined. Dark Tranquillity and In Flames actually swapped vocalists after their respective debut albums. Dark Tranquillity is my personal favorite of the three and I'd love to see you guys give them a shot. Some good starting songs from them would be Monochromatic Stains, Through Smudged Lenses, ThereIn, Focus Shift, or Misery's Crown (which shows off the vocalist's great clean vocals). At The Gates is maybe slightly closer to the "death metal" side of melodic death metal, but their riffs are very emblematic of the Gothenburg melodeath sound. They released a hugely impactful album in the genre called Slaughter Of The Soul that countless metalcore bands have been ripping off the riffs from for years. If you want to check them out, I'd recommend songs like Blinded By Fear, Under A Serpent Sun, or Suicide Nation. In Flames has actually really fallen off a ton lately, really going to a less metallic sound (possibly what you guys picked up on here when you called the a Hardcore band) that often comes across as pretty basic. Their older stuff was a lot more innovative and, at least in my opinion, way better that what they've been putting out recently. If you do more In Flames reactions, I'd love to see the songs Moonshield or Artifacts of the Black Rain on your channel. Besides those big 3, some other bands from the genre that I think you guys might enjoy are Soilwork, Amorphis, Insomnium, Kalmah, Nightrage, Belakor, and many many more. If this long-ass comment gets your attention and you want more bands I'm always happy to spread my favorite metal style!

[@punkjay4681]

Would love to see some Dark Tranquillity or At the Gates here :) In Flames has never really struck the nerve for me. I went to see DT with a friend as a birthday present, bought us tickets, though I'd never been much of a fan. When they played "Inside the Particle Storm", I was dumbstruck. Such a powerful track!

[@dmphax]

@@punkjay4681 agree with Dark Tranquillity. They're amazing! I discovered In Flames first with The Jester Race, and then DT shortly after with "Not Built To Last" off Haven. While I liked IF initially, it took a while for me to really appreciate them. Meanwhile, 1 listen of DT and I was mesmerised! I had literally heard nothing comparable to what I was hearing! They're now my favourite band overall.

[@punkjay4681]

@Laura Gud for me it took about 20 years to get into these bands 😆 First I was a bit narrow-minded "don't ruin my death metal with melody" guy, and when I got over that phase At the Gates had called it quits and In Flames gone full pop mode. For some reason DT always avoided me somehow.

[@dmphax]

@@punkjay4681 they're very different from typical Melodic Death Metal on albums Projector/Haven/We Are The Void/Construct/Atoma/Moment. They had the 3 album run of Damage Done/Character/Fiction mid-career, which brought them back in to more Melodeath with the energy and aggression. Early stuff was very much Melodeath, but the other albums are full of ambience from the synths, and much more clean vocals/playing with different styles and influences while still keeping the DT thumbprint. This is all to say, they are an acquired taste for some people I feel!

[@jollyman247]

I got this CD when it first came out. Love this band. Especially this song!

[@mootkickee]

The double, subtle in sync head bang is what I love haha

[@Ryan-ws3yf]

One of my all time favorite bands. I saw Children of Bodom and them on tour, opening for Megadeth back in 2008. At that time I had absolutely no ideo who they were. In Flames' live show was on a whole nother level. It was that single live show that got me into them. Literally just their live show, not their music because I didn't know any at the time, just capitivated me so much. Now not a single day goes by that I don't rock out to at least one In Flames song at some point

[@stickfigure9138]

Gigantour 3. I think Job for a Cowboy was there also. I to went and seen them on that tour. Great show and good memories. Thanks for reminding me

[@Ryan-ws3yf]

@@stickfigure9138 Job For A Cowboy, High On Fire, Children Of Bodom, In Flames and Megadeth. I saw them at The Merriweather Post Pavilion, right in the suburbs between DC and Virginia beach

[@stickfigure9138]

@Ryan-ws3yf I went to Cleveland to see them. From WV here. Gotta travel to see good shows if you live here. It has gotten better recently though. Hopefully more metal will make it to the state

[@metalguru85]

In Flames are back on form. Think it was Take This Life where you thought it was a female fronted band.

[@f.b.jeffers0n]

In Flames is melodic metal. Hardcore = Blood for Blood - Ain't Like You, Don't Piss On My Neck and Tell Me It's Raining, So Common So Cheap, Wasted Youth Crew, White Trash Anthem Death By Stereo - Bet Against Me, You Lose, Looking Out for #1 Terror - Hard Lessons, I'm Only Stronger

[@nathancottrill1363]

There are a few bands a lot harder than Slaughter to Prevail. Infant Annihilator for one. Cattle Decapitation goes hard as fuck. Thrash Metal was birthed post Heavy Metal. Because of Thrash’s pretty large influence along came the likes of Cannable Corpse and so on. One of the heaviest Metal songs in all of existence come from a Band Diamond Head with their track Am I Evil. Still to this day many argue it boasts one of the heaviest riffs of all time as well. These dude was rocking before Metallica.

[@parithian8462]

Its metal, some new form of melodic death metal.

[@LudusAurea]

You gotta do reroute to remain or my sweet shadow, trigger, your bedtime story is scaring everyone etc.

[@mikethemotormouth]

First off, In Flames is Swedish melodic death metal not hardcore. Actually the song you're thinking of is Take This Life with the video that looked like they shot it in Times Square or maybe Tokyo. I have no idea who the female fronted band is that you're thinking of but I can only guess Spiritbox? And I'm somewhat familiar with the punk band Agent Orange but Code Orange would be a new one for me. Also gotta get to Come Clarity, Trigger, and my favorite, F(r)iend

[@juhavaris2144]

In flames, Children of bodom, Bloodred hourglass, Insomnium, Mors subita, Diablo 🤟🤟

Great album from then, it sounds like back to the basic. In the meantime, living in South America, I just got tickets for a master combo : Gojira+Mastodon in November. As you keep on your amazing adventure since 2 years now, I would recommend to react to Alcest - Sapphire which has become a reference in term of blackgaze/postmetal

[@jackjones701]

This is the heaviest they've been since the clayman album

[@BiologistRyan]

probably why im such a huge inflames and soilwork fan... I LIKE the super super heavy shit, but damnit... gimme some melodic in there. I know they got the talent, you cant scream/growl without being skilled. Thus... melodic death metal... I have found my place.

[@villevainio5231]

In Flames are part of the first wave of melodic deathmetal, not hardcore. The metalcore bands of the early 2000's combined hardcore with melodeath and In Flames was one of the bands they drew inspiration from, other notable melodeath bands are Dark Tranquility, At The Gates, Soilwork and Carcass went melodeath with their Heartwork album.

[@metalzonereactions]

Borzois are pretty tough dogs, they were used in Russia for wolf hunting. In Flames is not hardcore, a band like Hatebreed would be hardcore

Did u do "when the world explodes" in flames ft Emilia Feldt? If not, do it 😎

Would you react to another swedish band?

[@Carnage1138]

Their early music was melodic death metal. Hardcore is more Black Flag and Minor Threat.

[@LudusAurea]

Did they get a new vocalist? The one guy sounds similar. The melodic death metal seems gone.

[@dmphax]

Other than Mikael Stanne (vocalist of Dark Tranquillity/The Halo Effect/Grand Cadaver) being the vocalist on Lunar Strain by In Flames, Anders Fridén has been their vocalist on each album since. He did take vocal lessons in recent years which has definitely helped his cleans.

[@vladkillgore8266]

In flames came out as founding fathers of death metal. Talking 1997. They later changed their style to be more. Metalcore.

[@DefinitelyNotBender]

What? lol No

[@vladkillgore8266]

@Marquis l'Exil you're right. Thier first album dropped in 1994. This was along the same time as bands like At the Gates, Dark tranquility and Gates of Ishtar. Really solidifying my point futher. These bands brought melodic death metal to Europe. They essentially created this sound known as Swedish melodic death metal In flames is very much a metalcore band these days. Using "core" elements such as harmonic choruses and breakdowns.

[@joshuacanipe7688]

Jesus Smokey, stop calling metal hardcore. Hardcore is punk. In Flames is one of the godfathers of melodic death metal.

[@-dj-non25]

YES! this bugs the bejesus outta me. the amount of hardcore they've done is vanishing small. it would be interesting to see some covered for sure tho.

[@joshuacanipe7688]

@-DJ -NON yes maybe some Discharge, Agnostic Front, DRI, Cro Mags, so he can see what hardcore actually is.

[@jhamilton1007]

This is Melodic Death Metal. This may sound "hardcore", but it's not Hardcore. Hardcore is more like Thrash and Punk.

[@davidstocker7069]

Dudes. New In Flames is so, so upsettingly bad compared to old In Flames. Please do Zombie Inc, Moonshield or anything from when they were still good. Anders ruined this band. Or - review a song by The Halo Effect.
