If In Flames didn’t invent melodic death metal, they cemented the genre’s arrival with Lunar Strain and Subterranean, and if those were early blueprints to the burgeoning style, the Swedes’ The Jester Race and Whoracle were the impeccable benchmarks that made the aggressive artform matter. They’ve continued to push the genre forward with ten subsequent releases-including 2023’s raw, visceral Foregone-further strengthening their core sound that, at its heart, is a modernized blend of intensified Iron Maiden and accelerated Black Sabbath.
Before the band’s headlining show at Nashville’s Marathon Music Works, In Flames’ Björn Gelotte, Chris Broderick, and Liam Wilson welcomed PG’s Perry Bean for a conversation about their powerful setups. Gelotte detailed his workingman’s signature Epiphone Les Paul Custom before his tech Greg Winn showcased a pair of unknown Marshall prototype amps never featured on a Rundown. Shredmeister general Chris Broderick discussed hands-on approach to designing his signature sound that includes a beveled Jackson Diabolic CB2, modified DiMarzio humbuckers, and a thumbpick he invented. Lastly, Wilson compared the requirements and difficulties between playing bass with Dillinger Escape and In Flames before dissecting his morphing setup that’s trying to feel like home but honor Peter Iwers and Bryce Paul thunderous footsteps.

We always try, time permitting!

In Flames goes through bassists and drummers so quickly these days I have a hard time keeping track of them and I've been a fan since 1995.

[@tippss3332]

Broderick, such a genuine guy!!! Playing is off the charts!!!!!!

[@abhisheksawanthxc]

Saw In Flames this feburary and its something I still haven't gotten over yet. We hardly get good bands in India and talking about these melo death legends it was a dream come true. I carried a big mount board with "In Flames We Trust" painted on it, was cool to get acknowledged by these guys.

[@dolphanatic23]

I was at this show and got to meet Perry! It was such a good time.

[@marktaylor6246]

I was at this show too!

[@TheBonac]

This video is SO GOOD... Thank you guys & thank you Premier Guitar for making this happen!!! Every time In Flames is in NYC, I'm there & doing the meet & greet, because the guys are just so genuine & cool. They've never sounded better live & the new tunes are absolutely incredible!

[@premierguitar]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ranmanguitar]

How he feels about Inflames, growing up and playing guitar is mutual. This was a great video. Cheers.

[@erikwagonblott3334]

Dillinger Escape Plan is my favorite band and In Flames got me into metal like 25 years ago so this lineup and rundown put a huge smile on my face.

[@6thUser]

In Flames we trust 🤘🔥

We need a Big Wreck Rig rundown. The have the best live sound

YESSSS!!!!!! And Tea Party !!!

YES!!!!!!!!

Absolutely.

[@Metalbass10000]

Ampeg SVT 4 Pro is a GREAT bass amp!!! I liked the Soilwork call out, such an underappreciated band in the genre.

[@huffdm]

I felt that intro, well stated! ❤🤘

Glad you liked it!!

[@perrybean9153]

Thanks homie!!!

[@TheIzzy009]

I skipped it actually 😅

[@FromtheSoultotheFretboard]

Wow, this RR takes me way back!! We Root to Remain and Stabbing the Drama inspired so much of our jams and various bands growing up. Thanks for this, and I can't wait to see Soilworks!! Much respect and appreciation, Perry and PG!!

[@AAAA-lt9hq]

I remember way back around 2004 when Bjorn and Jesper were using Pod Pro XTs for cleans and Peavey 5150 IIs.

[@Daniel-zh3gj]

FINALLY. The band that got me into metal

[@damonstewart70]

You guys always deliver da goods btw...DIMARZIO RULES!!!

[@alexcorona]

One of my favorite bands from my childhood, thank you for the video!

[@shayeasy]

My story is nearly identical - Clayman changed my life and I started playing guitar not long after. Bjorn is the coolest and his drumming on The Jester Race and Whoracle is also fantastic.

[@TheSonsofHorusx]

Epiphone needs to do a bucket head sig

[@DatMetalBoi75]

I agree with this sentiment

[@XMetalChefX]

I talked with a rep a while ago. How guitar body is bigger than a normal Gibson so it's hard for them to figure out a way to build them.

[@TheSonsofHorusx]

@@XMetalChefX Thanks for checking. Its not rocket science though, im sure they'll figure it out xP I'd love to have that longer scale too, would be nice

[@fatsuperfly]

Nice! Been getting back into In Flames when I found Chris joined, been listening a whole lot more. They where my band as a teen, pplin high school with bands or instruments wanted to sound like metallica and misfits or grindcore bands. But this was the band and they shaped how I play guitar. I learned how to play lead lines(not solo) but now when I write I listen to melodies a lot more and just love these guys. One of the goats of metal.

[@ruffrydazz2032]

I just want to chime in that I had a VERY similar formative experience with In Flames. Mid to late 90s I first heard them and it absolutely blew me away. Opened the door to super heavy and harmonic metal and changed the direction of my guitar playing completely. So stoked you did this!!!

[@LambChopper678]

Hey this is awesome Perry🤘🏻 you do a great job on these rig rundowns man ❤

[@perrybean9153]

Thank you!!!

[@thehaunted1]

Dude, I say the same thing about Sweden all the time. So much favorite music from there!

[@scosstard3542]

I have seen two interview of Liam and in the two interviews he is wearing that Plebeian Grandstand T Shirt! He is a man of great taste! :)

[@michaelnugent9758]

Saw them in NC last month. They fucking CRUSHED IT! Great job here as always too, Perry! 👏🏻

[@spaceace41]

Nice to see this. Love these guys!!

[@premierguitar]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@AleCab2]

Bjorn's picks are great, i got one when they played in Argentina

[@karterestill]

This was awesome! It's also cool to see how Chris's rig has changed over the years too. I had the pleasure of opening for Act of Defiance *one of his bands* a number of years ago. Turned out we used the same wireless channel, when we went to sound check I got to play through the big boy rig 😅😂 needless to say, I was the one changing my channel😅 but he was seriously such a nice dude!

[@jusebacho]

One of my favorite metal bands of all time 🔥

[@MrJingles021]

I'm stoked. I'm a huge in flames fan.

[@joshuaenyart5570]

Very cool interview!

Such a genuine guy Chris seem to be. Thanks for a great video!

[@John_Doe657]

This is great. Thx Premier Guitar 🙂🤘

[@premierguitar]

Glad you like it!

[@panagiotisexplorer213]

I really dig Chris' ENGL Savage. Definitely gonna check this amp out.

[@Guitarliano]

Excellent job Perry. This was my favorite Rig Rundown and I’ve seen so many. 🔥🔥🔥🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@andrewpappas9311]

Definitely cool seeing Chris, I don’t know a whole lot about In Flames since I don’t listen to them so I didn’t know he was in this band. I mainly know him from his time in Megadeth but he’s undoubtedly a fucking beast of a guitarist and I love his tones

[@sixthgatebass]

damn dude youre in for a treat being able to listen to an artist you like and not having to listen to dave mustaines vocals

[@andrewpappas9311]

@@sixthgatebass I know that Dave’s singing is incredibly divisive for some people but I still like it, makes his voice distinctive for a reason

[@theHolmezilla]

In Flames with Chris Broderick is the tightest live sound they've had in years. I saw them in November with Meshuggah, and they sounded great.

[@vorpalblades]

Check out the Jag Panzer albums he's on.

[@riccardoragni3304]

Activate the subtitles and go to 10:02...the "genuine tube gay man" cracked me

[@chrismcmillen4786]

Anyone know anything about what Bjorn is talking about with working with Nueral DSP???? An IF/ Bjorn plugin???? That would be awesome.

[@Henningifh]

Great job 😊 what pick gauge he use ??

[@MrJingles021]

If you guys ever get the chance to do this for Insomnium, that would be great.

[@RichardGarcia93]

Let’s goooo Chris!

[@derrickdurbin1334]

I remember stripping every guitar we owned of its pickups and adding an 81 lol. That pickup is literally the best! Angels beneath me used them exclusively

[@AManCalledBiggles]

I once snapped a 135 B string with my thumb metal slappin' 😂

[@Crunch104]

Long live In Flames!

[@Burnt_Gerbil]

The Diabolic is like an alien version of the Rhoads V. That’s a cool spin on it.

[@KestejooAlgonquin-v7t]

It's a great video.

[@rabbitz7740]

Love Rig run down! Please do brandon and Ryan aaaand Brian from Black Dahlia Murder!!!

[@anahowana]

Very interesting that he used a Kerry King Marshall

[@wilbaines]

I can’t find anything online about Björn’s MD61 heads - I wonder if they are part of the renewed push on the tube amp side of the business Marshall’s new CEO mentioned not too long ago? Cool stuff though !! :3

[@Jackson5101]

I remember seeing some info years ago about them. To my knowledge, they were prototype amps for Doug Aldrich, and Bjorn even got to borrow some from Doug. He absolutely loved them and was able to track a couple of them down. I've personally only ever seen one go up for sale, and it was $2700+.

[@ZachShannon1]

The tech did mention that he's been hassling Marshall about them since 2012, so it sounds like they're an old prototype that just never made it to production.

[@wilbaines]

That’s awesome - thanks for your knowledge guys !!

[@Jackson5101]

You're welcome, dude! They do sound absolutely killer, and Marshall should seriously rethink releasing them with the new management.

[@billyrouse4813]

I haven’t been to Sweden, but my music has. Project 4:13 “Couldn’t Say How” (Crossfire Mix) here on KZbin.

[@chrismcmillen4786]

The Isolation Cabs Bjorn uses are called the Box of Doom. I own one. They are THE best Isolation cabs out there. I don't know how they did it. But they figured out how to get rid of that boxy sound that came with every other Isolation Cab. I have owned a dead room, the Randall, the Mesa, the Riviera silent sister. The Jet City, DO NOT do what i did, and think you can EQ the boxiness out. You can't. It will be there and drive you insane. Lol. The Box of Doom cabs are not that much more expensive than the others. Even shipped from them to the USA. And they added casters on my cabinet. Great customer service. It sounds like I am kissing their asses but I just can't believe they were able to kill that boxy sound. That right there is worth an extra $2,000 to me. Even though they don't even charge that. Buy one, u will not be disappointed. There Is a reason In Flames, Trivium and other bands use them.

[@SoundAloneband]

I think Sweden and Finland make great music because they accept that genre as "popular". They have more time also locked away in dark winters to write. In Finland amorphis is one of the highest selling bands in history there. Just a different place. America unfortunately cares only about 1 thing and that's money. Not art. And people here unfortunately just follow the herd. Japan is also very metal and rock dominant.
