[@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

[@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 🤟.

[@johanerasmus7880]

Intersecting harmony then bringing back down with width is masterful. Late to the party on this but its beautifully done and explained. Thank you.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Many thanks!

[@jeretiitta7424]

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

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks man!

[@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.

[@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! 🤟🙏😎

[@krizuu.]

Bleeding Out or Us Against the World.. dummy

[@MusiCaninesTheMusicalDogs]

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

Amazing deep dive!! I´ve been searching for a video like this for ages.🤘

[@spencerAce]

Man, this is SICK! I love In Flames tones and I'd never imagined a blend like this going on. Awesome video!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks man!

[@maurixyoxx2]

Terrific!!!! Thanks again Euge. Keep doing these excelent videos!!!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! I will 🤘😎.

[@squeezenor]

This and the entombed videos are my favorites in this series. Lots of fun and very informative. Going to go back and listen to the jester race now 👍

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! Really glad to hear!

[@Shred_Rocket]

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!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Oh thanks Nacio! Really glad to hear! 🙏☺️

[@Jesterhead21]

Thanks a lot Euge for that video. This is one of the best videos out there for me. In Flames we trust. Thank you

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

Damn, nailed that tone for sure. Thanks for the walkthrough, appreciate it.

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

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! Glad to hear!

[@HiFugly]

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

[@adamolson3997]

Man this brings back memories. What I wouldnt give for new, old-school In Flames album. Great content!!!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks man!

[@nathanhyde2079]

Check out "The Halo Effect", it's all ex members of In Flames including Jesper.

[@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! 🤟🙏

[@lucwilson1]

What a fantastic lesson and insight into that sound!! Loved it!!! 🤘

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! Glad to hear!

[@Pitchuga]

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/

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks Paulo! Glad to hear! 😎🔥🤘

[@MetalZoned]

This is a great video with a lot of good info, no BS or filler. Awesome!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks!

[@ryanmaxson9968]

Duuuude, amazing song writing, production and playing! I could listen to an entire solo album like this from you 👊🤘

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Wow, thanks! We made this song for real to our latest album: cyhra.bfan.link/tvtglp. It’s called IF I 😎. cyhra.com/

Oh look a new In Flames song i never heard. That sounded really good and spot on and i appreciate the work you put into this all and thanks for sharing!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! We did it properly with Cyhra and it’ll be on our forthcoming album out via Nuclear Blast in 2023 🤟.

[@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.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! Really glad to hear! ☺️🙏

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]

Check out Orbit Culture lol

[@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.
