I am very excited for the future of The Halo Effect.

[@Marionettetc]

Mad respect for Mikael staying metal after all this time. Seeing him front a band with some of my favorite musicians, and still being heavy as fuck after what - 30+ years in the business? It makes me really happy that bands are still making the music we old guys like. I don't want to talk about current in flames much, but this Singer is like a breath of fresh air.

[@martinkoller393]

yeah, well, he's 'only' the founding singer of in flames back in 1990s... before switching with anders to dark tranquility

[@Demoliri]

I was a huge fan of In Flames 15 years ago, but everything they have released since A Sense of Purpose has been absolute garbage (everything since Clayman hasn''t been great either), but Dark Tranquility consistantly put out solid albums even after all this time. They get a lot of flak from purists for their heavy keyboard use, and softer sections that can get a bit cheesey, but they are at heart still a melodic death metal band, and still putting out great music 30 years later.

[@Marionettetc]

@@Demoliri people shit on emperor for their keys too, I think like dark tranquility they were just ahead of their time. You're reminding me what I hated about metal culture in the 90s lol, everyone was more interested in looking kvlt than just enjoying music

"Shadowminds" lyrics: One side of this watershed moment Left the fair and true objective far behind For fear of facing what rationale resigns to The thought of you alone with demons on your mind Ravaging the nerves Overtaking consciousness What was said and what was done Now haunt the witching hour Let the now begin today To the past a swift farewell Innocence is nothing When shadowminds prevail Let the fear be gone today To oblivion we cast it down When shadowminds prevail Let go of this, the embers of the day Bring not the fire to the combustible night Rather have the anger extinguish the flames Than numbing chemicals to keep it at bay Ravaging the nerves Overtaking consciousness What was said and what was done Now haunt the witching hour Let the now begin today To the past a swift farewell Innocence is nothing When shadowminds prevail Let the fear be gone today To oblivion we cast it down When shadowminds prevail Let the now begin today To the past a swift farewell Innocence is nothing When shadowminds prevail Let the fear be gone today To oblivion we cast it down When shadowminds prevail Let the now begin To oblivion we cast you down Innocence is nothing Don't let shadowminds prevail

Haha agree. I sort of did this when they played their special Hollywood show in 2004, they played all of Soundtrack to Your Escape and then a whole set of their old songs including a Slayer cover. They were recording for a live album but unfortunately there was a problem with the recording and they weren't able to use what they recorded. The band stood around at the Whisky-A-Go-Go (the venue) and got drinks and hung out with fans before the show started. Got to shake Peter and Bjorn's hands. Best night ever.

[@Cloudkicker01]

I cant describe what I'm feeling Its like a dream come true, sounds and feels like a different kind of In Flames but in the best way possible I even dare to say how it should be. Current In Flames lost their passion and still I bought every CD from 1990 to 2021 but THIS, THIS is what I was looking for. Everything falls in the right place, its like I got my favorite band back.

[@TribeFiveMusic]

I feel ya! and my PERSONAL opinion ( i don't want to start a shitstorm) - Stanne is far better frontman and vocalist than Anders. I know Dark Tranquillity from the to the bottom and there is no single song that Stanne wasn't in shape in it. Amazing vocalist

[@Cloudkicker01]

​@@TribeFiveMusic I have mix feelings about this, I know a lot of people are silently angry at current In Flames (like me), and those people tend to forget how powerful and intense Anders's Vocals were (lets say from TJR to ASOP), I think Anders is a god like vocalist as well as Stanne, very different but equally powerful, the different here is that Stanne took better care of his voice, remember that Anders did a surgery I think in 2001 to his vocal cords, those things affect you at old age.

[@TribeFiveMusic]

@@Cloudkicker01 I know , I might forget about it while seeing this song :P I was a huge fan, and In Flames Live at Sticky FIngers blew my mind. I think Anders was an absolute killer back then at that time. Just if I compare in long-term releases I prefer Stanne. He is smiling , he has a great low clean vocals. And he does that for a long time. Anders was demon when I started getting into IF. And amazing growl (he growled very rarely) . Generaly I think In Flames made some good decisions about company running and management promotion in general. Salute them for that. I just think DT in general never dissapointed in all aspects. Anyway, I could talk and discuss about this till the morning lol

[@Cloudkicker01]

@@TribeFiveMusic I cant believe that I'm saying that on an online discussion but I completely agree with your comment haha and yea I too can talk about this for hours lol

@@Cloudkicker01 We're not silently angry at all. In Flames, after Jesper lost his will to write songs for them, are a hot pile of garbage. We've been saying that for 15 fcking years now.

Awesome !!! Jesper: The Father of Melodic Death Metal is back !!! This is the dream team of melodeath !!!

[@fredmaddog2814]

Lol In Flames is great and very influential on MDM, but Dark Tranquillity, Eucharist, Dissection Dismember, Cyanotic, Amorphis, At the Gates and others had all dropped fully formed MDM releases between 89 and 92, before In Flame's first demo in 93, so jesper is hardly the father.

[@joelopez9627]

@@fredmaddog2814 lol..bro..I've seen "JESPER LIVE"!! FUCKEN INCREDIBLE LIVE!! what alot of fans and people forget! Is that Jesper wrote alot of inflames hit records and songs! Its obvious that when he left inflames..they went to shit..not aggressive anymore..or catchy..but very water down generic approach...iam beyond thrilled to see him RISE UP WITH THE OTHER BAD ASS PLAYERS!!! "IN JESPER WE TRUST"!!✊👊💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🔥🔥🔥😈

[@fredmaddog2814]

@@joelopez9627 As I say, old In Flames is great, Lunar Strain, Subterranean and The Jester Race are all amazing albums, but I just think that other bands deserve credit for the creation of MDM (especially Eucharist)

[@fredmaddog2814]

@Dawn Razor Yea forgot to but them. Great early MDM a-la Cenotaph or Dismember. I know jesper did bass in them, but idk who wrote the riffs and such.

[@mattjanssen9405]

Anyone know the guitar Jesper is playing?

[@davegibson2724]

Serious bang of Insomnium off this track! That's no bad thing. Nothing is going to change the world anymore, especially as we old In Flames fans get older! This was an enjoyable listen. I will try and catch you live as and when the plague permits. Looking forward to an album.

[@ansgarschaefer5411]

So mutch this! The Intro sounds In-Flamesish (post Clayman), the verse as well. But especially the chorus: So mutch Insomnium in there.

[@nick6505]

Лучшее музыкальное событие за долгие годы!!!!!!!!Приятно видеть именно этот состав трушных ребят , пока орифлеймс превращались в papa roach настоящие флеймсы вернулись показать как надо!!!!

[@Evravon]

I love how in some metal music videos, the drummer shot shows the drummer is super chill, just grooving, like playing is the easiest thing in the world to them, but the camera is like violently having a seizure in an earthquake.

[@cristiandv3264]

This is just AMAZING! Thank you guys for this band of masters!!!

[@lowend365]

Not bad, but it didn't blow my socks off. Sounds like modern DT before they started watering down. Would've liked to hear more Jesper riffs.

[@User18481]

exactly this. it sounds like way more DT like it should.

[@SpookyApparition]

Very DT-like, but I Iove DT so I'm okay with it. The lead part is straight-up In Flames though, I hope there's more of that.

[@aedota]

DT with a Quiet Place aroma ...Nice but not jaw dropping. Can't wait to hear the rest of the album

[@snuffcarl]

After plus 20 listens i feel the song is very dt in the sense that its a grower. First listen - solid. 20th listen - fucking great.

[@lorenzolorenzo8402]

best metal chorus of 2022 prove me wrong

[@hicham3656]

When they were coming one by one I was like oooh missed Daniel on drum cool, Peteeer back on the track YES, Niclas ? JESPEEEEER WOOOOOW!! Mikael WTF WTF !!!!!! THIS IS AN ALL STAR BAND RIGHT HERE !!!!!

[@audreythecat4565]

In these almost 3 decades, there have been so many absolute masterpieces of Swedish Melodic Death Metal (or how you want to tag this), but back in the early 90´s this video is the music I had in my head when I think of this genre.

[@smaaback]

Best sounding new metal band I've discovered in a long time. Loving the riffs and melody in general, shame there isn't more. The metal future is promising

[@cradical2808]

Listen to Dark Tranquillity if you enjoy this. They sound similar. Same Lead Singer.

[@markustupala8180]

Well, rather the metal legacy gives us a promising future :)

[@meshuggener667]

THIS_IS_IT!!!! great song _ video! Jesper-the heart and soul of InFlames is back! Daniel+Peter, the rhythm of InFlames is back! Niclas-an old buddy + Stanne!!! the voice of DarkTranquillity!!!! cant wait to hear the rest of the album!! WELL DONE FELAZ \m/

[@mihailsauzins7495]

Need Sir Niclas Sundin

[@mimic3527]

Since the release, ive been listening to this on spotify. And i must say, this might be one of the best metal songs ive ever heard!

[@metalc0readd1ct]

First time listening: oh nice song After month: damn cool song After 1year: SHADOW MAST PREVAIIIIIIIL

[@simonbrost7017]

Absolute legends nailing the perfect mix of their iconic melo death style and modern metal 🖤 give us more!! 🤘 good job guys

[@clasherelmo1269]

What an absolute piece of true melodic death metal. Stopped listening to inflames few times back and than suddenly boom got this on my recommendation , trust me this lineup will blow away in liveshows ❤️

[@SpookyApparition]

I cannot wait to see them live!

[@БарсукЕвропейский]

Я слушаю if больше 20-ти лет, и мне что-то свое нравится в каждом их альбоме, чуствую, что теперь не будет 14го студийника, как жаль, что не будет больше хорошей пластинки вроде 1го альбома cyhra. dt всегда нравился крайне выборочно, damage done единственный полностью крутой релиз. Трэк сперва не понравился, а потом очень зацепил. Главное, чтобы не смешались с тьмой мдм-групп, все-таки if единственные из всего цеха писали очень разноплановую музыку. Новому бэнду удачи и успехов.

[@664chrisman]

Well I'm glad I stumbled on this! As someone who fell in love with the Gothenburg scene bands in the early 2000s this is a welcome surprise! It's like coming home.

[@akrocanth]

Soooo happy to see all these guys playing together. Especially seeing Jesper and Stanne together again, man it gives old school Lunar Strain vibes even if the music doesn't necessarily go in that direction. Dark Tranquillity is my favorite band ever and early-mid era In Flames is the music that got me into more extreme metal to begin with. This is awesome.

[@adribahrisumirat6480]

love how they bring the old melodic death metal sound, strong harmony

[@philofthesouth6019]

It’s like original in flames have come back for vengeance. Brilliant!

[@NicoStormchild]

Bravo! Amazing song! Looking forward to a whole album. Jesper, Peter and Daniel, I really missed you guys.

[@jntdhome]

Words can't express the joy this brings to my metal heart!! What a line up!!!!

[@hawtdawgmcgraw2788]

In Flames have always been one of my favorite artists ever. But sadly they ceased to truly be In Flames after Jesper left. Their discography was nearly flawless up to that point. With each subsequent album, they have drifted further away from being the melodic death metal pioneers that we loved so much. It is very apparent just how important Jesper was to their sound. I’ve sampled some of their recent stuff, it’s utterly unrecognizable as “In Flames”. So to see all these guys back together again, making fucking kickass metal, is a dream I never thought would come true. I cannot fucking WAIT to hear this album when it’s released!!!

[@SubiSkill]

Thats so true

[@gonzalogomez4367]

Love chris, but his not for If, he s a shredder

[@ginowildfire.3124]

I been waiting so much time to hear something pure like this.

[@giorgossermes9644]

in flames and dark tranquility combine i get goosebumps from hearing this xD

[@rutgerdevries8915]

This song make the year 2021 worth it! Killer line-up! Fantastic!:D

[@shredhead99]

Awesome song! The lineup is truly something special. Its especially great too see Jesper making killer music again! He was the best part of In Flames.

[@JavierTheGreat51]

I've started listening to In Flames and I enjoy dark tranquility's music as well. Love the song and I'm really excited to hear more from this band 🤘
