[@mikemellott640]

Was a fan of this song over 20 years ago when I heard the original on CD. The most beautiful lyrics I ever heard. This cover does it justice.

[@sabero5668]

It's sad that people don't see it until you strip down the melody and vocals like this. Piano covers and stuff like this is required to make metal fans

[@littlewolf9049]

Love old school In Flames. But, now that I'm in my 30's and mellowing out this seems like the perfect way to enjoy old favorites with new interests.

[@joostwinter]

Hah! Same here. Loved this completely back when I was 17 (I'm 44 now) and I have a little theory that this kind of music was for me a kind of gateway to becoming really into folk music later on...

[@r.f.b.3121]

Probably the best cover I've ever heard.

[@Airguitarfooker]

You've got that right my friend!

[@billbarnes223]

this style fits the song perfectly, awesome

[@geoffke321]

I live in a tiny 19th century village of 140 people in a little forested valley in Belgium. Next to the creek there is a grass area and some tall trees. If I ever get married, we'll have a huge banquet right there with the entire village invited and drinking beautiful trappist beer and we'll be dancing around the fire while THESE GUYS will be playing!! Actually, screw getting married, let's do it anyway!

[@severedsun3141]

No you don't. It is the 21st century.

[@severedsun3141]

Lighten up Douche Williams (Kalaxablahaxis) .

I'm in!

[@moistbox]

I'm sooo in

[@nicholasjones8028]

geoffke321 witty and fantastic !!! Lol lol. Metal as fuck!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@user-ri2pq9en8n]

I love swedish music... In flames, Arch enemy, Amon Amarth, dark tranquillity, At the Gates, hypocrisy, bathory, dark funeral....

[@Maria-dd9iu]

this has no right to be as beautiful as it is

[@FusRoDah2]

I gallop into the sunset with this song.

[@FelipeMachadoRJ]

This is how you make a cover without being a copy-cat. Perfect! I would like to see In Flames release a mellow version as perfect as this for this iconic song.

[@Sean.Cordes]

Felipe Machado It's kinda already done - a bonus track on Jester Race, Acoustic Medley.

[@FelipeMachadoRJ]

I have this album... It's not quite what I meant...

[@72Oswald]

It'd be cool to see In Flames play moonshield in their acoustic sessions. I wonder how it'd sound

[@Demongsm76]

Goosebumps. Perfect.

[@dieandrot]

this is absolutely phenomenal! i will listen to this until the day i die

[@chestbuster1987]

Damn! I was not expecting this to be so good.

[@DreeKun]

2021 came and this became even more beautiful

[@nemethadam8125]

Takes me to another world, and makes me shiver with cold. Truly amazing.

[@empressofpandas]

ikr! :) Probably one of my favs.

[@Theshark15z]

This gives it a sort of a Irish PUB feel to it.

[@Zmej420BlazeIt]

definitely gives light to the folky influences of early In FLames. IMO this sounds more like the original version of Moonshield than the recording

[@aries_9130]

I've known SOTB for quite a while now, but I've just stumbled upon this marvellous piece of music in this very moment. Fuck, this is great!

[@mikkbarsparkblast4829]

Hell yes to that, amazing cover!

[@rickymann4016]

If the Braid OST and Moonshield had a baby this would be it. Absolutely brilliant.

[@unknown-lq9rg]

it is beautyful cover

[@billyrandell]

Oh my, this is wonderful

[@DanielKitchka]

this version is so beautiful

[@iambusybox]

Very nice!

[@lionrock3]

loooooooooool, maaaan this is my best In Flames orignal melodic swedish song, I have to say.....this cover is way better than the original xD

[@lionrock3]

It's great to see people sharing the same feeling with you, thanks all :)

[@DidoInFlames]

2015 still best cover

[@SycamoreHill14]

It really makes you appreciate the thought and dedication that In Flames puts into their instrumentals. Beautiful cover of a beautiful song. In Flames and all of Melodic Death Metal ftw \m/

[@chaosincarnate380]

Why am I just learning about this cover now???!!!

[@oldmanwinter9345]

Amazing cover. My favorite in flames song. Thank you for your amazing work. I love it.

[@tordenskrald]

This is pure love. In Flames should have just moved into this direction...

[@RjxVengeance]

This song fits perfectly for rockin ESO!!

[@Daedalus4]

Absolutely beautiful, just like the original.

[@JustCallMeLoki]

+Akhamesh i agree, truely beautiful

[@crocodilecrox3758]

interesting how in flames did such beautiful melody with yet such dark lyrics (seem to be talking about hell and him seeing how he wont get out of it o.o, could be one of more messages i guess)

[@kevinoneil5120]

So brutally mellow, I love it!

[@GreenGiant400]

Such an amazing cover. Who would have thought metal and bluegrass could have come together to create something like this?

[@rev9737]

beautiful cover. really did the original justice.

[@TechApe]

DAMN THAT IS AMAZING! Keep the In Flames covers coming and I love you forever :D

[@ZorroTomas94]

Amazing, a true pleasure to hear

[@sylvanio199]

Just brilliant!

[@JuZZiA]

Speechless.. Great cover of a masterpiece!

[@Nikkenai]

So glad i found this. Thank for an unique and amazing cover. Hope you guys are doing well

[@Cizma77]

Too beautiful...

[@2014andon]

OMFG Finally!!!! Ive been waiting for more songs from them!

[@Flibberflopje]

Wow.. This is so brilliantly done.. Since the first time I heard the song from In Flames, I hoped someone would some day play moonshield in a way like this. See, the original song is wonderful, but though I think In Flames is one of the greatest bands ever - I think moonshield is just not so greatly done as it could have been. But then, you guys not only did it - you dit it ten times better than I had ever hoped. I'ts so awesome! Thanks a lot and keep it up :)

[@deathinfire38]

My first in flames song. Beautiful cover ! very good ;)

[@npopovic1]

spill me the wind, and it's fire to steal of the colors, I'm a moonshield!

[@anuvob1]

Brilliant!

[@ezet]

one of the best In Flames songs!

[@BliMedlem]

Amazing..

[@kirkaleftv]

[@bizarredude101]

I love Moonshield because of its folky-ness, and these guys did a fucking bluegrass cover!! THIS MADE MY FUCKING YEAR!!!!!!

[@babisreaderson]

Oh man, the sound

[@MolecularHeckler]

ULTIMA ONLINE!!!!!

[@zigastirn6564]

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 blood-ink penned Declared my silent end Naked and dying under worlds of silent stone Reaching for the moonshield that once upon us shone Naked and dying under worlds of silent stone Reaching for the moonshield that once upon us shone 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

[@gabm999]

Very, Very cool.

[@kerby200099]

Ah good ol In Flames. Lunar Strain, Jester Race (my favorite), Whoracle, after that their sound changed and I kinda lost interest. Still a talented bunch of guys, wish them the best.

[@DjVolumeUp200]

The sound change was after Clayman. Both Colony and Clayman kick ass.

[@metalheadsforyang5371]

@@DjVolumeUp200 agreed. Loved those albums as well.

[@mertcankaraca95]

Fucking awesome cover

[@ritualdeathmetal]

This sounds like something you would hear in Skyrim

I can think of no better metal song that translates so well to Bluegrass.

thank you guys for widening my horisont :D this is sooo good...

waaay better than the actual song.you guys rock

[@j4jackpot]

nice cover. sounds like a perfect song to play around a campfire

[@magodeluna]

Lhe achei novamente

[@larryjohnson7649]

thank you, metal is zoo underrated because people lack the musical prowess to interpret songs without the lyrics being the main driving force of the song

[@postmortemarts]

muy bueno :)

[@SSBMTonberry]

@at2lex Please don't let your lack of musical perspective become our problem.Just because your ears can't hear anything but vocals, and cannot accept anything but pop-vocals, doesn't mean that the original of this cover is "not a song". It's a masterpiece, which is why these guys made this awesome cover. See, that is the thing about bands in this genre; all instruments are just as important as the vocals, and even though you don't like it, the vocal in the original song is done pretty good!

@Zullia In Flames is an exception in it's own 'genre'. Surely, there are plenty other exceptions in their respective 'genres'.

[@linussundstrom1]

This sounds a bit like Opeth's acoustic songs to me.

[@thinkpad20]

This isn't remotely bluegrass, but what it is is awesome music. Great job guys... consider a name change, but other than that, you don't need to change a thing.

[@Zullia]

@korikafez I hope you're not refering to In Flames as it has been since 2000, since its a different band entirely in my opinion.

[@TheDarkAlbatross]

Too sweet... Hears like the Middle-age. Not bad song...

[@SkeetSystem]

Female vocals were a nice touch.

[@TakiCyke]

I demand a Gyroscope cover.

[@LATL.]

@Cuqueman Are you really said "Gyroscope" from In Flames sucks???

[@Zullia]

Covers like this are perfect for showing ignorant metal haters that theres real music in our genre, the melodies that make this song are all the same in both versions.

[@Cuqueman]

@ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01 Just a troll tbh. Gyroscope is really cool

[@cj397]

Gyroscope Cover please, for the love of all my being.

[@BlademasterJale]

This exactly. I live in Virginia very close to Appalachia and the Bluegrass culture there, and I can assure you this is definitely not Bluegrass, at least not in the way I'm familiar with it. It has a much more Celtic or Irish Folk feel to it IMO. Still absolutely gorgeous.

[@Abulletinmyhead]

You got to know the original song from Bleach I take it?
