*In breakdowns we trust*

[@Ocean_Of_The_Lost_Memories]

Next cover should be - (1) Bullet Ride, (2) Crawl Through Knives or (3) My Sweet Shadow.

[@WhiteCrownlessQueen]

Nik, how come you haven't reacted to Foxera? Picture Perfect is a banger

[@nKJay_]

Thanks for doing In Flames! My favorite band ever :) sadly the newer albums just dont have the spirit like this :/

[@nekosombrero]

No, in BABUSHKA we trust.

[@OniGrimuwu]

@@Ocean_Of_The_Lost_Memories Crawl Through Knives for fucking sure

[@Beggars.]

The early 00's In Flames has such a distinct sound. When you hear the guitar kick in, you know it's In Flames with that metalcore gravy.

[@spectre722]

metalcore? 90s and early 00's in flames was gothenburg melodeath

[@metal_monocle7334]

Those were the days when IF were melo-death. Granted, that gave birth to metalcore and sadly every release by IF for the past decade+ has been mediocre and phoned in metalcore

[@WhoAmIWill]

gotta agree with the others, this was In Flames while they were still melodic death metal

[@Mavvyd96]

These guys are melo death but their style very heavily influenced metalcore. Without In Flames and melo death, we wouldn’t have metalcore.

[@metal_monocle7334]

@@Mavvyd96 for sure, without the swedish melo-death scene, metalcore wouldn't have happened.

[@tyrelllowery2074]

This was it right here. Before this song the heaviest thing I'd listened to was slipknot. Then guitar hero put me on to this one. Nothing was the same.

[@CrimsonxTitan]

Fucking same bro, my heaviest stuff at the time was Atreyu, Bullet, and All That Remains. Nothing really was ever the same after this on GH3

[@JujuInFlames]

Gh3 really started me on my metal journey

[@JujuInFlames]

@Fractal Chaos being tame doesnt mean lower quality. I’ve listened to their entire discography and ya their earlier stuff is amazing but I still enjoy albums like Battles. I think bands are allowed to change how heavy they are

[@JujuInFlames]

@Fractal Chaos you said back then, implying they’ve gotten worse over time but maybe I read into it too much. Either way I enjoy them and I enjoy much heavier bands for sure

[@JujuInFlames]

@Fractal Chaos I’ll definitely have to relisten to some of the albums cuz it’s been a while since I’ve heard them. I can agree ya the only album I know by name after playground is Battles but even then I’d easily listen to come clarify before battles. If you know any bands similar to in flames during like come clarity I’d love to hear it

[@Aegir616]

Oh man, I haven't listened to In Flames since Sounds of a Playground Fading came out when I was in college. Do more melodeath!!! Some Soilwork and Dark Tranquility would slay

[@treethegreat52890]

Maybe some arch enemy as well

[@joemaluso]

Yessssssss

[@alexbougiemusic]

Oh dang, Soilwork yeeees!

[@Mavvyd96]

Even some modern melo death like Orbit Culture.

[@underrottensky]

or The Haunted, The Duskfall, At The Gates

[@dustadorre]

My introduction to In Flames was Cloud Connected when I was in high school in 2004...the same year Soundtrack to Your Escape came out and I was absolutely floored. When Come Clarity came out...I bought the special edition album with a DVD of them performing the entire album. Anders has a way of writing really emotional lyrics and sings them with passion. Such great memories growing up with this band in my CD player all of the time.

[@vraydesu]

Exactly that!

[@andreasrestad7869]

Same year for me, but for me it was Trigger. Completely tumbled down the rabbit hole after that!

[@thevilyn2075]

YOOOOOOOOOO my first song by in flames was cloud connected as well, that brings me back so far, idr what year it was but i was in like middle school then. think by high school i had all of their albums up till that point was so into them lol

[@RealBloodyTheElf]

We had almost the same musical journey. But instead of Clouds Connected I heard Trigger on MTV of all places. I'd never heard anything like that. Life was different after that.

[@uneartheros]

Clayman

[@brandonmiller5742]

Takes me back to freshmen year… jamming to this in the car on the way to school hit different

[@bradcarpenter1881]

Hell yeah, your comment brings be back to those days!

[@thelastdaybreathinginetern1385]

Same!😌

[@jasonlovesmusicreacting882]

I first heard it when playing Guitar Hero so I was only about 12 lol

[@MattJFilms]

@@jasonlovesmusicreacting882 Bless Guitar Hero for introducing us to so many amazing bands at such young ages!

[@miguelbrostrom1182]

Exactly the same.

[@kris_kwas]

These guys were my intro to Melodic Death. I remember sitting down when I was like 12 and this song coming on after some A7X on YT. I understood nothing and didn’t care for the vocals but loved the chorus so much that I sat through everything else.

[@Powermad-bu4em]

They aren't metalcore. That's Gothenburg melodic death metal. They practically invented it.

[@kris_kwas]

@@Powermad-bu4em My mistake. I’m not too well versed in my subgenres

[@jasonlovesmusicreacting882]

@@Powermad-bu4em Then Metalcore bands kept ripping off their riffs. It’s one of those weird things where I do think that the band has written Metalcore-ish songs before, but other melodeath bands not so much.

[@Powermad-bu4em]

@@jasonlovesmusicreacting882 Oh absolutely. When metalcore first started to be a thing many of the bands had stated that In Flames and Dark Tranquility were huge influences on their sound. The Gothenburg sound is one of the most important developments in metal over the last 30 years.

[@jasonlovesmusicreacting882]

@@Powermad-bu4em Honestly, I’d label IF as a modern day metalcore band ever since Soundtrack To Your Escape/Come Clarity they lost a lot of symphonic elements.

[@hounsdjentlow3074]

Easily one of the most distinctive sounding bands from the 00s. The breakthroughs made while recording this band changed the way we record metal guitars and im so glad for it

[@phat80]

Maybe from 90s? They released the most distinctive albums from 1996 to 2000.

[@angelol2877]

The guitar harmonies on this songs are so sick because they not only harmonize the leads but also the chords. Fire

[@MariusMoorkamp]

Good work...I like the different harmony in the chorus.Respect!

[@drabbster]

Come Clarity was the absolute peak of In Flames' writing imho. This album helped me through some difficult times.

[@CrisAaG]

For me, it's a shame that after Come Clarity the sound has changed so much (for the worse, to my taste), however, for me, although I didn't like the last songs from the last two albums, they're still great, no matter what. to mention that some songs from the last album that they released this year are quite good, they remind me of some songs from the past, but of course, time passes and not everything can be the same.

[@Lmolina90]

A classic for sure. First song I ever hear from In Flames. Great job as always Nik.

[@dropdead___]

The song that brought me to them. My favorite album.

[@silentfox8]

i hope people see this and realize how important the bass guitar actually is, carrying the melody while the guitars can do the sick shit in the chorus

[@eldirtyfaygo5395]

Too many guitarists want to be bassist, or bassists want to be guitarists with all the 8/9 string guitar b.s.

[@steveh88]

I can't tell you how much I love the play through with the tabs along the bottom. It makes it infinitely easier to understand what is happening. Amazing idea!!!!

[@theunpretentiousvegan8593]

I put this cd on repeat back in the day! The drumming on it was so good.

[@DeathMachineJoe]

Ah yes. Back when you could call In Flames melodic death metal. This album is honestly kinda underrated in their discography. And this song still slaps!

[@underrottensky]

their last great album

[@psynuma1]

That whole album was criminally overlooked

[@dropdead___]

My fav album by them. It was the stuff which brought me to them. But, tbh their next work "A Sense Of Purpose" is perfect! This one I agree that are their last great album, not Come Clarity.

[@tonykruzska3098]

This song is off one of the greatest metal albums of all time. Dare I say top 20 all time. (Sounds crazy) Everyone do yourselves a favor and re-listen to this album. Not a single song is an afterthought. Every damn riff is epic. It’s relentlessly catchy from start to finish. It’s borderline flawless. An excellence most bands don’t strive for anymore. Thanks for this cover!

[@liamohman7426]

not better then the jester race imo that is the best in flames album.

[@fredriksvard2603]

Agree. For me its been chuck berry - hendrix - zz top - sabbath - metallica - *in flames* - fallujah, that's how high i rank the jester race through clayman albums.

[@paranormalativado]

Nik always impresses!

[@pcol2915]

I want to thank Guitar Hero for getting people into In Flames that didn't know about them before. Imo, one of the best and most influential bands ever.

[@tiem.samuel]

And here I thought people had forgotten about this once legendary band. First 4 albums are gold. The next few, pretty good. The last ones... But still, good to see in flames being remembered.

[@NorthDT]

This was my first In Flames song (heard it when it came out) and got me hooked on their older stuff. My friends who don't even like metal really liked this song and would always play it when around me xD

[@kingdrew8888]

Man you got so into the rift. I freaking love it. Great job

[@swmpwlkr]

Haha holy fuck. This is a lot heavier than I seemed to remember. Time to re-discover this In Flames-era. Also expertly played!

[@tattedmetal_]

This band got me into metal and was basically the first metal song I listened to when I was in 8th/9th grade

[@zombl337og]

this song got me into death metal....the melodic nature just captured me and its still one of my favorite songs of all time

[@zacharymicah]

[@Sikthy]

this album got me into in flames such an amazing album and great cover

[@northwindkey]

In Flames 1996-2006 was a sight man. From defining Melodeath albums like Whoracle and Colony to the experimental -core-influenced sound of Reroute and Come Clarity, to the surprisingly good industrial-inspired feel of Soundtrack to Your Escape. After Jesper left, this band went into generic radio rock sounds. I'd say their top 3 albums were Clayman, Come Clarity, and Whoracle.

[@mgrocki]

Yuuusss!!! Best In Flames right here!!! Prefect cover

[@brunocharbonneau5272]

[@DannysGarage]

So glad to see this pop up in my feed :) Always loved this song and band... Take This Life is one of the best songs if you wanted to demonstrate what a melodic death metal song is- it has the fast heavy verses, screaming, singing, cool harmonized guitar melodies, low tuning, etc. All it's really missing is a solo, lol.

[@XLRider2]

I love this song, first heard it from Guitar Hero, like many other people here.... anyone else remember how GODAWFUL the chart of this was? To me it is like Bottom 3, alongside Before I Forget & Prayer of a Refugee lol

In Flames and Amorphis were my introduction to death / melodeath in high school in the late 90s. Whoracle, Colony and especially Clayman had an immense influence on my musical tastes (and probably some of Jester Race too, some of that instrumental stuff is soooo juicy). I kinda stopped listening as much with some of their newer stuff (mainly after SoaPF and Siren Charms). Pretty cool to see a cover off of Come Clarity. I'd love to see some more off of Colony or Clayman, that'd be EPIC :D
