I've been blown away by every song released leading up to this album's released. Super pumped for this album. Not something I thought I'd be saying about In Flames in 2023 given the direction their last few albums have gone. Really glad to see them getting back to their roots a bit with a modern twist to the sound.
that is some BS bro ... you can´t always live in the past, most bands don´t survive as long as they did with only making the same shit over and over every album has its right to exist they evolved yet still didn´t ever lose their mojo u may not like every album and that is totally fine, but they never lost two steps
I agree. I still can't listen through either Siren Charms or Battles. Both do absolutely nothing for me. I, the Mask was better... but still never bothered to purchase it (only cared for a handful of songs). Foregone's offerings have all been bangers, super pumped and preordered after hearing the first 3 singles.
Agree about chris but i really think tanner on the drums has made a huge difference aswell cos the man can play All i know is i cant wait for the album
You guys got me even more excited for this album. So far, this is my most anticipated one in first half of the year. Can't wait to hear your review! If what you say about it is true, then definitely it's gonna be one of the best, even hold its place in my top 10 of the year.
In Flames has been around for quite some time, so you should definitely check out their older stuff. Can at least recommend Come Clarity, Cloud Connected, Only for the weak, My sweet shadow,trigger, Take this Life and Alias. In my opinion they have one of the most unique music style, but I'm a bit biased because they are one of the bands that got me into metal when I was young and most times I recognize their music within 5 seconds of hearing a song :) Keep up the reactions, loved it!
Björn and Anders write all the songs, but I wouldn't be surprised if Chris contributed some ideas in addition to solos. Chris brings a shred element to the band, which they haven't had since the early days. Björn is a badass player and his solos are always good as well. Chris' style and tone is a nice contrast, though. Tanner & Bryce definitely have locked in as the rhythm section. As someone else said, the riff in this song is similar to F(r)iend but then it goes in all these unexpected places. I saw IF and Meshuggah together last year and it was two of the tightest bands I've ever seen live.
hells yeah i agree Chris Broderick is an excellent asset in ....eh In flames...hehe he is one of the reasons why i also dig another band he was in... Jag Panzer,. Speaking of have you guys ever checked that band out... one of the better power metal bands from the states... they have more of a euro style approach to power metal but with the known aggression of the U.S power metal. Mechanized Warfare is one of my favorite albums from them. check out a song called "Frozen In Fear" sums up the best of what they have to offer.
I am like an anti gatekeeper. I dgaf about old vs. new, thrash vs. melodic ,etc. I do care about a song with great vocals nice riffs and a great (catchy) chorus. This song has ALL that plus MORE. BEEN ON LOOP 1000X FOR ME 🤘🤘🤘
I dont think it will be their best in 20 years like you said, absolutely not for me when albums like Come Clarity and Soundtrack to Your Escape exist within these 20 years. But, I just remembered they were releasing another album and the talk has been a little encouraging. After listening to this song I do for sure have to listen to the album, the song gives me a little Come Clarity album vibes in a few sections. I will check it out, perhaps this band will finally have the revival I have been hoping since their 2011 era. I will be more than fucking happy to finally love this band again.
"Easely the best one i 20 years..." thats some strong words man.... and even though 3 out of the 5 singles have been ripping.... i doubt that statement will be real for me... i mean soundtrack, reroute, and come clarity are some damn near perfect albums.
I wouldnt even come close to calling those albums perfect... The production on them is atrocious, and the songwriting follows a very basic 4/4 time signature with poppy song structure. It makes everything feel very basic and generic and all the songs fall into this chugga chugga verse with a fluttery chorus pattern. Top it off the very poorly mixed vocals, not to mention some of the worst clean vocals, on Reroute and Soundtrack making everything sound muddled and you get some of In Flames worst albums to be honest. The only song on all 3 of those albums that even comes off decent is Dead End.
@@eliisaac agree to disagree then... production i see what you mean on RTR. So many great songs therr though... and sp many good memories attached to that album. production on CC is epic imo. Take this life, leeches, crawl through knives and the title track are all 10/10 for me...
I agree, both the old and the new records are easy to listen to, i like the fact that they have some variation in their tunes. But has to be said, i am a In Flames fan.
This album is better then Come Clarity? I never thought I'd hear them make an album that passes that since they went in their new direction? Come Clarity was 2006. So you say it's the best album in 20 years, that puts us at Reroute to Remain.
Reroute to remain while being very experimental was still the last album to have that In Flames musical sound feel and framework in its writing. After that it was a different band that slowly became a hot topic product by the time playground, battles and what other conveyor belt lowest common denominator level of quality. I'm not go ing opinion history shows Reroute was where most of there OG fans hit the eject button and when the band had success with younger fans. Sounds like with this one and by releasing five tracks before release the band knew, they had something good and something they are proud of but needed to build some goodwill with their fans long gone from a yester year and would take that many tracks to assure those fans. That many was smart they k ew the resistance to trust the band was nigh impossible as old fans were hurt by their latter recent period out put to many times. Younger fans don't understand that the earlier albums if you were there to experience the 99s and the boom of the Gothenburg sound was a magical time in metal. New sounds new was to perform metal a new sub genre within death metal one beautiful and brutal. It was nothing but exciting. In Flames were at the fore front of developing that sound along with a host of new fresh sounds. Sounds like with this album the band can regain their legacy and some of the old fans with it. Having old and new fans all enjoying what is a respectful honored approach the writing of this album got (Probably pushed by Chris being a huge fan who lived the early times of the Gothenburg sound) it dues and a return to form that for first time in 20 years sounds like the soul of what and will make Inflames great again. It's like Chris found the band in the woods after being missing for 20 years. The new members are obviously huge fans and owe their ability to play and all of their influences to OG In Flames and certainly if joining the band wouldn't be right unless the raging In Flames long retired to be exhumed and resurrected. GLAD they found themselves again and now all people of all ages can enjoy together. Smart move similar to Iron Maiden when Brave new world was released. I am in for the Third Era of The Jester Race feeding the food for the gods. I'm excited. Maybe the album has an Episode 666 in it. Welcome back anders and Borjn a whole generation that lost you not only missed you but most certainly need in their lives again. Anders you resist those nu metal Korn whines now and you will be fine. \m/
@EddieTHead2266 I'm gonna disagree with you and say I hear old elements of In Flames on every single album they've ever done. Some better then others. For example A Sense Of Purpose is very old school on the guitars but what's different is Anders vocals and lyrics.
@@tylersmith2849 I hear tide bits of In Flames in many bands. Doesn't make them In Flames. Same applies to In Flames. You can like those albums but they are so far from feeling or being an In Flames work. Not since Reroute. Many members left. Because the band kept sliding the scale toward mall core kiddie music.
@@EddieTHead2266 what the hell is mallcore kiddie music dude? Can you define what that is? That's not a genre it's just a dumb way to insult their music. Jesper was still in the band up until 2008 and you can hear it. You don't like post reroute music because it doesn't sound enough like 90s In Flames, period. That's your opinion it's not fact. Get over yourself. The music still sounds like In Flames it's just different then music they were making when they were in their 20s!!!
@@EddieTHead2266 let me also add my favorite album is Colony. But I'm not going to sit here and say "anything after 2002 isn't In Flames." That's ridiculous.
I'd say the last great In Flames album for me personally was A Sense Of Purpose the other 4 that came after that were meh but judging by the singles we've got for this new album this is going to be a banger for sure! \m/
@@00gZa the song makes me feel good, fantasizing about natural death and what happens at that time is an uplifting thing for me. Now go ahead and call me a psycho in the next comment, please
They actually do refer to the pandemic (sort of) in the single The Great Deceiver when they say " 2 year break to reset our brains". The worst In Flames album, in my opinion, was Siren Charm and I still like some of the songs so there's always something good in every album. It's nice to hear that you feel like this is good from beginning to end though. Can't wait to hear the rest.
In Flames had a crappy start to the pandemic. Flew from Russia to NZ ahead of a festival in Australia + headlining sideshows only to find out about the pandemic and a limiting of large gatherings to 150 people. They went ahead anyway, stopping ticket sales for the sideshows so they can still play for the people. The day after they announced that, NZ and Australia closed their borders and they had no choice but to fly home.
In 2 months they will be returning to Australia as part of Knotfest to hopefully play shows here for the first time in 9 years. I feel bad for the Kiwis in NZ and hope In Flames return for a headline tour
man did you feed your son some horse feed or something, god damn its been a while XD i still remember vids when he barefit in the frame, damn :D always good to have backup in the metal militia \m/ in case of in flames, what could go wrong? this song is a damn banger.
8:39 I bet that was actualliy what happened. With this track i actually confirm that the melodic part of In Flames was the Wizard Jesper and the industrial one is Björn. This reminds of Soundtrack to your Escape and i love it. Great comeback.
Bjorn is great at melodies too. He did all the beautiful melodies and solos on "sounds of a playground fading". He was the only guitarist on that album
@@jaimesantiagolonga jesper couldn't even attend the halo effect documentary and their live shows. I rly don't know what's up with him, I hope he heals 😔😔
@@kobayashidragor4564 Me too, Jesper is a genius as well and a good guy. I'm glad he's making music again and prioritizing what he needs to stay healthy. He doesn't care about all the drama that people try to make between Halo Effect and In Flames and, on the contrary, has been praising In Flames' recent tracks
I'm so hyped for this album! Feels like the addition of Chris brought some life back into the band. Feels nostalgic yet fresh. Possibly their best material since Soundtrack. Can't wait to hear the whole album
This song is what I, The Mask was trying to be x2 !! I love this song. Don’t get the hate at all. The melodies, guitar pitch, riffs, and drumming sounds spectacular. I guess some ppl want an In Flames album with no cleans and 100% colony but ya cant please everyone. This is great melodeath like it or not lol.
@@nolanblodgett4466 Oh,LoL yeah,Clayman,sorry .it's my mistake. Humain Clay it's a Creed album. And to Leaf4,english is not my 1st language.I do the efforts to speak english. The important thing here it's that you understand what i'm trying to say. Right?
Ive been an In Flames fan since Clayman. 2 albums have let me down, that is it. 3 reasons why this album to be great, Pandemic, Broderick, natural talent.
@@tylersmith2849 Battles, Come Clarity. Not quite made it for me. I have no idea why people stepped away from Siren charms for example, such a great record, totally underrated, also A Sense of Purpose, such a great album as well.
0The only reaction video that counts! This is the best Anders has ever sounded with his harsh vocals. Not the constant highs which could be really grating on the ears, much better ranges. Seems like he’s finally learnt to look after his voice too. Seen them live so much & live he’d gotten progressively worse.
That goes without saying, but when I look at sound, design, production, vocals, lyrics and guitar/solos, no album is better in the last 20 years. Not to me at least.
Hi guys. Could You react to Polands technical death metal legends Sceptic- All I can devour video from their new album. Would mean a world to me. Thx🤘🤘🔥
My biggest problem with the last two albums was the production. It felt flat and emotionless. The drums had very little weight where there use to be some. The snare sounded like a hitting a piece of paper. So i’m glad this album is a lot better in that value. To me the worst album they ever put out was Battles. Anders over produced vocals absolutely ruined it for me. I, The Mask was a move in right direction, but was flat production wise and had a Battles side that I didn’t like. Forgone is a definite good mix of new and old and has a lot better production. I can actually feel atmosphere of the songs. The drums actually have weight and Anders vocals don’t want make me pull my hair out. I’m definitely looking forward to this album. Just hope i’m not burnt.
I also believe that the fact we now have Halo Effect also had a huge impact on Anders and Bjorn. They are the only two members left of the old In Flames and both are not even from the begining. With Halo Effect basically ALL being passed In Flames members and them making some big headlines in the metal world. This has got to have sparked a fire inside Anders and Bjorn to explore their past sounds. Not that I think there is any animosity between them, I believe they are all still great friends. But I think this deep down got them thinking much harder. The pandemic gave them more time, the formation of a band full of your old members (and your founding member), a new guitarist, a more metalcore focused drummer all helped bring us this soon to be classic album.
Sorry but I do think that The Halo Effect had an impact on this record...and not on a bad sense...you know competition is always good for the quality of the products ;-)
Respectfully guys, i have to disagree. I think the halo effect absolutely gave in flames the inspiration they needed to get back on track. Because in my honest opinion, everything after clayman is garbage, ONLY IN MY OPINION. So hearing this is refreshing. And this is coming from someone who just started listening to this band last September.
@@Leaf4IF actually no I didn't. Like I said, I started listening to in flames last September. When I noticed the drastic change in style after clayman I lost interest. When I saw the halo effect had the singer from dark tranquility and read that they were a supergroup made up of the pioneers of Gothenburg melodeth, I assumed it was made up of members of dark tranquility, in flames, and at the gates. I thought I read that in an article. Turns out I was mistaken. Regardless, I still believe that the formation of that band and their return to the OG sound absolutely had an influence on why in flames went back to their original sound for this project.

Their album '' A Sense of purpose'' is a very nice one btw !
Maybe their most solid from start to finish, not the highest peaks but probably the album i resist the skip button most on.
The intro riff reminds me of F(r)iend, very cool !! In Flames we trust!
Very much pulls elements from Soundtrack to your Escape and Sounds of a Playground Fading

Man, I was already hyped for the album, but now I just can't wait anymore! 😆
so i wasent totaly blind... Chris Broderick was playing the solo..

@@tylersmith2849 Battles, Come Clarity. Not quite made it for me. I have no idea why people stepped away from Siren charms for example, such a great record, totally underrated, also A Sense of Purpose, such a great album as well.
@juanselainez9828 Battles was bad, Come Clarity is a masterpiece of middle era In Flames.
@@tylersmith2849 Not all bands are good enough to have three eras, In Flames I Trust!
You guys need to review worm!!!
Is that Chris Broderick on the solo guitar or are my eyes deceiving me?
Thats him
@@APREACTS I'm buying the album immediately
Fuking song what is this🔥🔥🔥🔥🖤
Old scool inflames 💯
0The only reaction video that counts!
This is the best Anders has ever sounded with his harsh vocals. Not the constant highs which could be really grating on the ears, much better ranges.
Seems like he’s finally learnt to look after his voice too. Seen them live so much & live he’d gotten progressively worse.
Best album of theirs in 20 years? Come Clarity came out in 2006
I can understand saying "this is the best album since Jesper left"
That goes without saying, but when I look at sound, design, production, vocals, lyrics and guitar/solos, no album is better in the last 20 years. Not to me at least.
I like this album more than Come Clarity.
This is fucking sick :D
Hi guys. Could You react to Polands technical death metal legends Sceptic- All I can devour video from their new album. Would mean a world to me. Thx🤘🤘🔥
Old Anders perfekt singer🤩🤩🤩
You are psycho fans of In Flames guys 😝
My biggest problem with the last two albums was the production. It felt flat and emotionless. The drums had very little weight where there use to be some. The snare sounded like a hitting a piece of paper. So i’m glad this album is a lot better in that value. To me the worst album they ever put out was Battles. Anders over produced vocals absolutely ruined it for me. I, The Mask was a move in right direction, but was flat production wise and had a Battles side that I didn’t like. Forgone is a definite good mix of new and old and has a lot better production. I can actually feel atmosphere of the songs. The drums actually have weight and Anders vocals don’t want make me pull my hair out. I’m definitely looking forward to this album. Just hope i’m not burnt.
I definitely believe this will be the best since Come Clarity.
I also believe that the fact we now have Halo Effect also had a huge impact on Anders and Bjorn. They are the only two members left of the old In Flames and both are not even from the begining. With Halo Effect basically ALL being passed In Flames members and them making some big headlines in the metal world. This has got to have sparked a fire inside Anders and Bjorn to explore their past sounds.
Not that I think there is any animosity between them, I believe they are all still great friends. But I think this deep down got them thinking much harder.
The pandemic gave them more time, the formation of a band full of your old members (and your founding member), a new guitarist, a more metalcore focused drummer all helped bring us this soon to be classic album.
This album was recorded before anything Halo Effect released anything.
Pedro, eu nao curti as partes limpas ... sorry gosto mais dos anos 90 deles mas percebo😎
really trying to like them again, but Reroute is when I checked out.
Sorry but I do think that The Halo Effect had an impact on this record...and not on a bad sense...you know competition is always good for the quality of the products ;-)

React to metallicas new song screaming suicide
lyrics on the chorus were kinda cringe
Respectfully guys, i have to disagree. I think the halo effect absolutely gave in flames the inspiration they needed to get back on track. Because in my honest opinion, everything after clayman is garbage, ONLY IN MY OPINION. So hearing this is refreshing. And this is coming from someone who just started listening to this band last September.
You realize the members of the halo effect were the other 4 parts of the band that made those "garbage" albums don't you?
@@Leaf4IF actually no I didn't. Like I said, I started listening to in flames last September. When I noticed the drastic change in style after clayman I lost interest. When I saw the halo effect had the singer from dark tranquility and read that they were a supergroup made up of the pioneers of Gothenburg melodeth, I assumed it was made up of members of dark tranquility, in flames, and at the gates. I thought I read that in an article. Turns out I was mistaken. Regardless, I still believe that the formation of that band and their return to the OG sound absolutely had an influence on why in flames went back to their original sound for this project.
this album was recorded before Halo Effect released anything...
@@WreckInSilenceRecords Mikael is the original vocalist of In flames
I stopped listening to them after sounds of a playground fading, I'll trust you and pre order that, I hope I won't be disappointed
