In Flames - State Of Slow Decay (New Song) - Live At Sweden Rock Festival 2022

[@solidhorizon9105]

Blinded in flames

[@PantsuMann]

The fact that they played The Chosen Pessimist after this track was just perfect. The slow intro really let this song to sink in, with everything happening right now. I was almost at the front and there was quite a few tears in the crowd. I will never forget Sweden Rock 2022.

[@SadashiFox]

In Flames are BACK JESUS THIS SLAYS!! I truly hope the rest of the new Album stands up true to this sound.

[@BattleAxeRX]

Amen!

[@andblom88]

First time I heard this I was like, man this is somethings straight from 2002-2004 era. I sooo hope rest is like this, awesome!

[@nolanblodgett4466]

it's shaping up to be that heavy, let's keep our fingers crossed!🤘

[@BattleAxeRX]

THE vs IF is old news and it doesn't matter to me. I feel happy to have much of this music as humanly possible. Thank you, In Flames for being with us!

[@durkman12]

Reminds me of old In Flames Awesome! Just saw them on the Metal tour of the year they were kickass but didn't play this but still was cool.

Which part reminded you of old In Flames?

This sounds like something beetween "Soundtrack to Your Escape" and "A Sense of Purpose" era and that Is good but nowhere near to the "OLD" In Flames.

[@durkman12]

@@arlos21 A Sense of Purpose was good though.

[@chrislognshot]

went back to old day's and i love it.

[@ztz1775]

Anders sounds amazing. What was he talking about?

[@Xatalion]

He talking about it's good to back at Sweden Rock

[@YourSweatyUncle]

and he mentioned putin thats why everyone booed

[@jimmyaskelius]

First he said that it was good to be back in Sweden Rock. Also that “I’m a old dude so I have to sit down”😅👌🏻 After he said that the pandemic gave a little opportunity for the world to rest and that everyone was looking forward to get back to normal, but “someone decided to start a war!” Then the crowd booed at Putin. He thought that they booed to quiet so the crowd did it again louder🙌🏻

[@ztz1775]

@@jimmyaskelius thanks. Putin deserves the loudest booes!

Back to old school… but Europe has been going to slow decay… to slow fade (out)… The freedom of our Europe has been changing to fear…

[@nopenope3512]

id laugh if they try and make a melodeath album to compete with the halo effect

[@christophersanzo1833]

🤦‍♂️

[@CraftyApe]

Honestly most the songs on I The Mask are already better than any of the songs from The Halo Effect. Even though Halo Effect is more "truer to form" melodeath I feel like all songs theyve released so far have pretty generic, with a few ideas stolen from Amorphis or Insomnium, which is ironic since Insomnium was probably inspired by old In Flames

[@christophersanzo1833]

They would never do that, pretty ridiculous assumption but hey that’s what fickle fans do 🤷‍♂️ the new album is gonna be wonderful 🤘🔥

[@smashbrospippop1931]

@@CraftyApe Dude The Halo Effect is fucking amazing probably my favorite band. Days of the lost and Shadowminds are amazing songs. Imo better than I the Mask in flames. Jesper is the spark that made the band amazing.

[@niikkeranang]

@@CraftyApe ideas stolen? u can basicly hear Both jesper and niclas signature sound in all their songs ( ive heard the whole album since they played it live yesterday)

[@yallneedjesuslikerightnow5228]

Chris broderick?!?!

[@lillmicke200]

Visst fan körde dom en annan single också?

[@GregSobek]

the main riff sounds more like At The Gates than In Flames but whatever...

[@sylvmili]

It’s strange to make a more violent music now , this year where the halo effect new album is coming ….

[@christophersanzo1833]

Why is it strange?? The world is utter shit right now, that’s obviously where Anders frustration and “heavier” songs come from 🤘

[@CraftyApe]

People saying this sounds like old In Flames need their hearing checked. Not saying its bad, but the riffage is basically no different than what you would hear on Battles. And the vocals are more metalcore than death metal. Not hating, I loved their latest album, but In Flames will never sound like they did in the old days.

[@niikkeranang]

Anders sounds like Anders idk what to say there.. it dosnt sound like old in flames. and they prolly never will, but they have kept changing their sound from album from album so who's surprised. i think it sounds awsome. and i was there live to se it.

[@CraftyApe]

@@niikkeranang well yes I agree. But Anders harsh vocals these days are different to the old days. I think its as a result of vocal training, but it is for the better as now his harsh vocals live are much better than they used to be. But the style is different... Listen to his lows in the earlier stuff (jester race - colony) and his highs on clayman onwards and compare to his vocals in I The Mask. The new harsh vocals have a bit more of a definite pitch. But yes In Flames always changed styles but their first 5 albums were their best by far.

[@Sentienthermostat]

Yeah, I don't know if I'd say it sounds like "old in flames" as in the first 5 albums, but this definitely reminds me of something you'd hear on come clarity which I'll definitely take over their more recent material.

[@clayman41]

I've thought the same thing....Old In Flames?? I definitely don't hear it. But I suppose "old" is subjective. Definitely doesn't sound anything like pre Come Clarity. The main riff is reminiscent of Everything's Gone....perhaps mixed with an I, The Mask Feel. And I totally agree about Anders vocals. Believe they are heavily compressed and saturated and he has better vocal control now, which really makes them sound gritty. His screams in early era was more traditional MDM style. Plus I absolutely hate the short wah solos Bjorn does....there's no emotion to them IMO....so that plus lack of MDM melodies makes this still sound like modern In Flames to me. So I dunno what people are hearing, but I don't hear old in flames here. Not hating on it either as I think the track is fairly solid compared to recent efforts, but doesn't hit me the same way "old" In Flames did.

[@gregmcgowan4460]

No Jesper = never be like the old inflames.
