Lyrics: State of Slow Decay
It is my reflection
But I know it’s not me
I am becoming something else
I feel the weight of the key
This place is falling apart
There’s no way back
Passing through the gates
A new shadow will reveal itself
The stories have run their course
None of them make sense
We’re all someone else’s fool
Buried in our own debris
Destroy the things you know
Destroy yourself in shame
Before tomorrow comes
Destroy everything
Faith alone won’t sustain
We’re in a state of slow decay
I hear forgive and forget
But I see there’s no way
Seen it through the accolades
It all should be a great success
#inflames #metal
But their are so many burdens
World is heavy and full of distress
#apreacts #reaction #inflames

At The Gates Blinded By Fear with the In Flames touch !

[@malteadotas4]

So true! But I gotta say Anders Fridén's voice sounds way better than Tomas Lindberg's. If Anders did a side project with the At the Gates guys it would probably sound a lot like this.

[@ZornheymOfficial]

I almost started singing ”I cast aside nu chains...”

[@thepredator666qc4]

@@malteadotas4 oufff dude, i hate how anders sounds nowadays, like shit, thomas is miles ahead imo. Never liked how anders sounds passed clayman.

[@malteadotas4]

@@thepredator666qc4 I agree, I hate how Anders sounds too, but I hate how Tomas sounds even more lol. He sounds like a sick dog.

[@Kotsoros37]

Big agree, so much at the gates classic energy with In Flames flare

[@SadashiFox]

In Flames have returned to their roots. In Flames are truly back.

[@Terminus_4]

They took that sound people loved them for in the early 2000's, and evolved that in a direction I think a lot of people would have been happy with.

[@brunodargor]

This is the In Flames we all love and expected for years!

[@josemartinvirallinen]

Oh man, they finished the song on the cliffhanger! Cant wait to hear what's about to come! 😍🔥

[@armandthevagabond8641]

I am so happy for the guys in Orbit Culture. To be on a North American tour with In Flames. So amazing. I will see them in their hometown in August. But I would love to see in NA too. Have never been to LA but they are gonna play at the Whiskey. would be something to experience.

I love this song, its sad that is a little bit short, i want more, people want more, so i think this album is gonna be so good

[@tobiassvensson8739]

I was at the Sweden Rock Festival performance in one of the front rows. Although 20 min late bc of some passport issues in Copenhagen, they put on one hell of a show. All my metal-head friends who was at that concert was in a state of euphoria after that performance. The sound was a bit sketchy at times but it was one of the best performances of the whole festival. I hope they will release some footage from the show later on.

[@hansele666]

and if they don´t you can see the full set from the "Novarock" festival in austria, its already on YT

[@soapmcsoapface1787]

we was all in a state of euphoria after that performance, but the question remains, varför luktar de koskit?

[@NiklasMX]

Welcome BACK! They are doing what they can do best again: SWEDISH MELODIC FUCKING DEATH METAL! FINALLY! WHAT A BANGER!

[@buried2getover499]

I haven't enjoyed Inflames since Come Clarity! That was nice and good to see them back with something legit

[@magiclover9346]

I actually liked the last album. Thought it was the best album since A sense of Purpose.

In Flames we trust .... Cumprimentos !

[@SoonAfterOfficial]

I'm actually frightened at how GREAT this song is

[@jacowboy]

well I mean, they just rewrote Blinded by Fear, so of course it's a banger lol...

[@loviepittsburgh2222]

For a second I thought this was an At The Gates cover. I was thinking of the song Blinded By Fear, these both sound very similar.

[@alfonsoagren414]

Not at all updated on who writes what in In Flames today but I got some strong Jesper Strömblad vibes. 🤘

[@GFormat]

Well Jesper left in 2010, so probably safe to say it's not him :)

[@paulflint6254]

This is what we needed to hear from In Flames ❤️

[@Xatalion]

Clayman & Colony vibes

[@hollowmade]

Rather Blinded by Fear by At the Gates. :D

[@dancarlin6206]

This was good, I like this direction if they stick with it. But this feels like Reroute to Remain era In Flames. Doesn't quite scratch that melodic itch the way THE does for me personally.

[@malteadotas4]

I agree 100%

[@BigmanDogs]

"THE"?

There is a fire in In Flames. 20+ years of waiting for proper music finally over. Let's hope the album will match this track. The shit airfreshner analogy... I almost pissed myself laughing

[@luisv.madrugajunior4754]

The best song since Take This Life!

[@SirMatusalem]

The end of this song was coitus interruptus, lol.... I hope this happens because it's a single and the real song at the album has more to show us. :)

[@watkins100508]

Battles teased them going back to their 90s/early 2000s sound, but it has come full circle on this track...brings back the nostalgia \m/

[@DekuDorkazoid12]

Brutal new track. I personally like the sound of these riffs over anything the halo effect so far. I hope the other songs on the halo effect album have this same intensity 🔥

[@TheMidian46]

try listening to blinded by fear

[@PussyMetalguy]

Maybe The Halo Effect affected In Flames 😂.Anyways I’m really addicted to this song right now.

[@dmphax]

That chug is so catchy!

[@Zombieaddict1000]

Man I miss so many concerts and tours... Last concert I saw in flames in was the Lamb of God concert in NA back at the end of 2011 with hate breed and sylosis... I would love to see in flames in concert again

[@peeweewallabowski7084]

[@1212Diablo]

Yes! Was there and they debuted the song and it was insane. The halo effect played their whole album that will come sometimes in oktober if I'm not misremembering and the halo effect was fucking awesome!

[@snakeeyes3308]

To me,the ending of the song is perfect.I never had the feel there is something more to come They bring back the long awaited "old school"in flames"

[@ThreszheR]

I agree, the ending was awesome too!

[@Rattles02]

I dig it. I can't say that about an IF track since RTR. I still think Halo Effect lit a fire under them.

[@sawyeratkinson]

This song felt like early soilwork than in flames. Take a song like nuerotica rampage off predators portrait or hell even chainheart song itself ya know Edit: love soilwork just as an fyi

[@tylerworthington9090]

They said at the concert that the new upcoming album would be 11/10 music lol. Let’s hope they follow up

[@alonsohernandez6655]

Trivium + At the Gates

[@rpgdivision]

Great reaction, lads. Loved the song but that finish was lacking, agreed. As a Jesterhead for over 20 years this was very surprising. Anders got his unique scream back which is huuuge (add Trump voice) for me. My favorite screamer is back! He just needs to ditch the cleans. Someome needs to grow some balls and tell him he can't sing cleans. Live it is even worse. Ruins the chorus completely. Same style of cleans mixed with scream from Come Clarity album would be ideal here. Song reminds little bit of Take this Life which is not bad at all. In Flames and Orbit Culture together is dream come true. Well, North Americans, enjoy and cherish that. Wish I could attend

[@colinparks619]

The intro is sooooo reminiscent of at the gates its a little toooo similar

[@danielradina1330]

It`s an awesome song. IN FLAMES WE TRUST !!!

[@anothersettlementneedsyour9628]

Please, react to Nova Twins - Antagonist

[@Penttihille]

New In Flames? I am intrigued, but kinda doubtful, let's see. EDIT: I was supriced, best stuff since 2003 from them by quick listen. I wonder if it would get better when ran through tapedeck-recording few times so the master-quality sounds a bit more dungeony.

[@Nall412]

That’s a good idea

[@Ailasor]

i say this song is more old At the gates then In Flames.. but its still a shitload better then what IF has released the last two decades..

[@jacksonhorde8255]

I'm getting good vibes since Come clarity. I hope, that whole album is same quality.

[@SirNikSii]

I must agree, this was better than any song on the previous album. It was good album, still this was better than any of those songs. Ending was a bit lame, but everything else just kicked ass.

[@APREACTS]

We are on the same page.

[@kimarefall]

Great "comeback" Song! Somewhat agree though that the ending needed something. For me it needed maybe some of the intros fastpaced riffing.

[@markuskettunen4175]

They had to up the ante because of The Halo Effect. And they did not dissapoint. However, is this better than ANY of The Halo Effect’s singles released so far? I think no. The melodic solo was killer, the beat was killer. But Andreas Friden’s vocals just can’t match Mikael Stanne’s. Once you’ve heard Stanne’s perfect yet expressive growl, everyone else is going to sound lesser in some way. But I’m so glad we’ve seemingly got TWO amazing melodeath records coming up this year.

[@julespulp214]

This is definetly not close to what The Halo Effect has did so far. But its 100% a start, thank God!

[@SadashiFox]

I like Anders wider ranged scream style a bit better, especially from this new track. I wish Stanne would change up his vocals a bit more because it sounds very samey and weak sometimes imho 🤷‍♂️

[@julespulp214]

@@SadashiFox different from what everybodys saying about In Flames these times, I believe that what is dragging the songs down are the instrumental whichs being weak af on the late albums. Yeah, Anders vocals are not the same as before but Jesper is sadly the missing element on the band, he is a fucking genious and The Halo Effect is proving single after single that he was In Flames' cornerstone.

honestly, the song just didnt have that punch like the old im flames. no memorable riffs. but better than there recent albums as said for sure

[@brooksploskina5161]

The song “Burn” from the previous album crushes this song imo. Go back and give it a listen and I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

[@mario50000]

nah

[@DekuDorkazoid12]

Burn has cool riffs and great vocals but lyrics are so generic lol

[@MrMultiInstrumentali]

Great song but the chorus is a bit mediocre (not bad just a tiny bit generic)

[@dmphax]

Best In Flames in a verrrrrrrrrry long time. Over 10 years at least! I wasn't a fan of the clean singing (admittedly never been a fan of Anders voice, esp. the clean vocals), but I can overlook that as the rest of this song is a banger. Even the ending didn't bother me overly. What will bother me is if this is it, and the rest of their next album is Mall Metal garbage.

[@malteadotas4]

Cool riffs and all but nothing special tbh. Sounds good because their music has been pretty mediocre for the last 10 years so this sounds amazing in comparison. Any song by the Halo Effect blows this one out of the water though, but props to In Flames. Solid 8.

[@brooksploskina5161]

I couldn’t agree more!

[@SadashiFox]

What? Lol

[@TheAltarOfMadness]

Will probably be a misleading single and the heaviest track on the album... everything else will probably be nu metal reroute stuff. Anders vocals are the weak link, here.

[@Nall412]

Lol I was just gonna say this... they'll probably have maybe 2 tracks and the rest just complete garage

[@Nall412]

I haven't listened through an in flames album completely in years anything after "A sense of purpose " first 4 5 albums are the best years

[@SadashiFox]

Anders sounds brutal here lol okie then

[@Nall412]

@@SadashiFox yea I gotta say he does sound pretty good here. I never really had any problems with his vocals. With me it was more of the musical direction they went in. God must be 15 years now since they just completely abandoned that melo death Gothenburg sound

@@APREACTS I do. I also realize that they do not exist in old school melodeath. And that In Flames never relied on breakdowns.

Just because it was never done in the past doesn’t mean it can’t be used in the future.

[@nicosilva8724]

Awesome reaction guys! Now I'll be talking to IF fans in general: I'm not falling for the hype. This song is amazing don't get me wrong. But sonically is no comeback to roots, thats pure bs. In Flames were sounding this good since ASOP just with different production 🤷🏽‍♂️ Does that little more blast beats make such a huge difference? Seriously?
