In Flames: Moonshield + The Jester's Dance (Live at Hellfest 2017)

[@angeldimchev291]

If you are listening In Flames's discography backwards, from the new stuff to the oldest ones, it almost looks like seeing the story of a shitty, hipsterish, alt band becoming one of the greatest Melodeath legends out there.

[@Bleaktom]

sad but true

[@travellerseko]

I agree with you. I’ve been listening In Flames since they released their first records. Jester Race and Whoracle are masterpieces. Colony comes later in the ladder of best albums 😂

[@yoteslaya7296]

anything after whoracle is shit. When you're done with inflames go listen to Damage Done by Dark Tranquility, incredible album

[@ThorbOrb]

Tired of dull ages, I walk the same ground, Collecting the tragedies still Hollow ambitions in a hollow mind Carried my cross to the hill And how I lust for the dance and the fire Deep of the nectarine sunset to drink Spill me the wind and its fire To steal of the colors - I'm the moonshield Shattered hope became my guide And grief and pain my friends A brother pact in a blood-ink penned Declare my silent end Naked an dying under worlds of silent stone Reaching for the moonshield that once upon us shone And how I lust for the dance and the fire deep of the nectarine sunset to drink spill me the wind and its fire to steal of the colors I'm the... I'm the... I'm the... I'm the moonshield

It becomes a logistics issue. A lot of those guys were coming and going. Jesper was the only original person up until the end of the 2000s. They didn't have a stable lineup until Colony.

[@m00rons]

Old In Flames always has like 15 guitar tracks over eachother. Extremly hard to re-create with a 5-piece band live. This song and maybe 3-4 others are exceptions where it is possible. But even then it sounds a bit stripped down

Feels kind of weird hearing Anders screaming his low growls, which he probably hasn't done in years since the Colony Tour. He started using his high pitch screams in Clayman. I felt the band was never really the same after Jesper left. It just comes to show that he was the soul writer of the band and without him, their just another Swedish band on the bill.

Sí tan solo volvieran a sus raíces. En verdad, me tiene ya harto su evolución Metalcore o Hardcore.

Aún sigo amando esta banda, creo que sus 4 primeros trabajos valen realmente la pena, son Obras maestras.

Anders sounds way better singing the old stuff now but they keep on playing songs from Clayman onwards only (where he struggles to hit the notes)...It doesn't make sense

[@Speed4Runs]

When he could scream, he really was dope for these songs... But now, dunno if because of age, he sounds like a frog both while screaming and while singing clean; he really is better at growling as of now Not by chance, they used to play these songs in screwm rather than growl, during the 2004ish era... This is really the time for them to go back to their older style, as that would be an actual change

[@zeitxgeist]

@@Speed4Runs Anders was never, ever a good vocalist. His growled vocals are very forced and strained, you can hear it here, you can hear it in the recordings all the way up until Colony when he stopped trying to do that and used his natural voice for it; even this was poor -- listen to the records -- it's processed and layered as hell and it's never been as evident before as it is in the Clayman re-recording (and here), where he has no vocal layering to back him up.
