![ABCs of Metal - [I] - IN FLAMES - "Take This Life" REACTION](/img/tr.png)
The whole Clayman album is a masterpiece, and In Flames in general is a phenomenal band
I think colony is their best imo, but clayman is definitely a second for me
@@cliftonjames785 oh, same. I wasn't saying Clayman was the best, just that's it's also incredible. :)
Many great albums!
But personally my top 3 is probably
1. Forgone
2. Sounds of a playground
3. Clayman
IN FLAMES WE TRUST!
We sure use to, anyway..
^^^Fact.
The good old times, Clayman album is just masterpiece! not the kind of shit the release these days....
Vidar Grønningen preach!!
Its shit because what? YOU don't like it?
Cloud Connected! One of my top In Flames songs.
and trigger :)

Agree
Crawl through knives!! Melo death at its finest :)
Dial 595-Escape?!
Soon: "Metal Head reacting to Hip-Hop"

Truh bruh
Hahahahha
You where right 😂
Lol. Metal head reacting to hip hop...
"why does he keep pointing at his dick? Is this an exercise video for amnesiacs? Put your hands in the air! Whats my motherfucking name¡?"

CRAWL THROUGH KNIVES
Pinball Map.
Moonshield
The Mirror's Truth and Alias
WesleyNigelorFlygel don't Jester Race
Man...Gave me the feels watching you connect with this band! Their lead guitarist is my biggest influence musically and to see someone else connect with it is amazing.
Hey, just wanted to say that you come across as a very intelligent, cultured guy and as a sworn metalhead, I'm very interested in your opinions. It's great to see you appreciating this kind of music! :)
Aww ❤️
Insomnium-while we sleep or in flames- my sweet shadow
drop taus or promethean song or weighted down with sorrow. Man, love Insomnium!
Max Lastockin yeah, amazing band!
Max Lastockin Promethean song is one of the best!
In Flames - Clayman
If you haven't heard it yet, The Quiet Place by In Flames. My favorite song by them.
ninjendo love that song!
First song I ever heard by them. The music video for it was on the special features for Alone In The Dark (shit movie, amazing soundtrack). Instantly went out and bought all their CDs. Still at the top of the list for me.
Love it, one of the best songs beside "The Choosen Pessimist"
Omg I’ve always said The Quiet Place is my favorite! I’m sure you have heard Colony and Ordinary Story and the rest of that album right?! :D
Agreed
If you like this one try these,
In Flames - Cloud Connected
In Flames - Reroute to Remain
In Flames - Crawl through Knives.
In Flames - My Sweet Shadow.
In Flames - Trigger
In Flames - Clayman
In Flames - Bullet Ride
In Flames - Pinball Map
In Flames - I am Above
Some more amazing In Flames songs.
Both of you hit some of my favorite songs by them. For additional inputs sake -
In Flames - Touch of Red
In Flames - Quiet Place
In Flames - Alias
In Flames - You're Bedtime Story is Scaring Everyone - even with how few words are spoken >:)
My favourite In Flames song is Ordinary Story from the Colony album.
I KNEW i wasnt alone with this, thank you, thank you thank you thank you. In flames fan since the mid 90's here.
All of Reroute to Remain is the best. It's where I started and will always be my favorite.
Egoism, dictates human relations...
I love that song. that is the song that got me into In Flames
Early In Flames is way better
Don't stop it with 'In Flames' man, and you won't regret this.
All of their albums are unique , that`s why I love this band so much.
And why a lot of people just like one album and not the rest, but I agree. If you don't mind change that much it's a great band.
@@jonteguy I'm a huge fan of the "I, the Mask" album. Wore a shirt to work and at one of the places I had a pick-up, the guy there asked if it was my favorite In Flames album. "I, The Mask, Siren Charms, Clayman and Rerout to Remain and Sound of a Playground Fading". Makes you quite popular among customers when you have a shirt with a band they like.
Yes I love them for that. Not afraid to change up their sound, but still stick to their roots. Those newer songs they dropped recently have that old sound, I love it.
@@tntfreddan3138 hahaha I love that!
@@jasminer.6721 Yes , I agree.
In flames - Come Clarity
One of my favorite songs from them.....also great video
The whole album is fire.
avenged sevenfold - a little piece of heaven
Daniel r I would love to hear his thoughts on this one. Its fun to look at the story of the song and really enjoy all the pieces of the song that come together beautifully. RIP The REV.
My 3 year old is obsessed with the music video
Yeh you gotta get them into necrophilia early these days... damn shame, not like the good ol' days any more.
Lock for dark tranqility
Beto Lugo DT is the best
DT is one of the best melodic metal band!
Insomnium is fucking cool too ^^
YES their album diversity is unreal, they keep it very interesting. I made an exhausting comment on IF recommendations, but yeah DT deserve their time eventually...
And Insomnium. Beautiful music...
In Flames! I been a fan since 2001. You should listen to The Quiet Place or Lord Hypnos or December Flower. The guitar solo on December Flower is probably the best solo in all of metal genre history. They got so many awesome songs. Where the Dead Ships Dwell is awesome. Episode 666, Jotun, Like You Better Dead, the list goes on and on. lol
The Jester Race has the better solo in my opinion, but December Flower is number two! ^_^
But yeah, older In Flames would be cool to see!
I listened to them since their first album and actually stopped listening to them by the time Clayman was released.
Eurostar 07 My bruh. December flower is my all time favourite solo, really bummed out that they never played it live when I've been to see them.
fLESHeye your like my dad he likes this band now he has got me into them
Glad to see you like it, been jammin' to this song since early 2000's!!! Still in my music library to this day!
In flames - Take this life
Any and all In Flames conversations should start with Moonshield
"Im right here"
In flames - I am above
@@aikitnxor zombie inc
Architects please!
THIS X 100000000
Please Nihilist or Deathwish
Gravedigger or downfall!!
lets be honest here. Every Architects song will blow his mind.
Doomsday or gravity

In Flames- Trigger
YEP!!!
I agree in flames trigger
Yesssss!
FROM GREEN TO RED OUR DAYS PASS BY
!!! THIS!! 😍
In Flames are still my favourite band of all time. Granted, their last three albums leave much to be desired, but, everything up until A Sense Of Purpose is gold in my opinion.
I'm well aware of Jesper's departure and history with depression and alcohol abuse. Also, A Sense Of Purpose is the album that got me into the band. Sure, it's no longer my number one favourite (that honor goes to Soundtrack To Your Escape), but, that album still stands at number 2 for me personally. There are some good tracks on the newer stuff like Fear Is The Weakness or When The World Explodes, but, for the most part, I haven't really been pleased with the post Jesper era. To be clear though, they aren't horrible. Their just meh if you ask me.
AnimetalViking my favorite too I am in flames tattoo
im a big fan of in flames, but i would argue that a sense of purpose was a fantastic album, just because something is softer doesnt make it a bad album, just different.
I love a Sense of Purpose
AnimetalViking Right there with you on When the World Explodes, awesome song, but for me nothing tops My Sweet Shadow and Bullet Ride (slightly older, I know).
architects-Doomsday
100% dude you HAVE to check out the Architects! My fav band in the world!
I’d like to see a dual reaction of ‘A Match Made in Heaven’ and then ‘Doomsday’. It’d be epic.
Great song, anyone else think it had BMTH Sempiternal vibes?
Fantastic band but I feel Gone With The Wind would make a better reaction if he did the research for it.
I feel like "Gone With the Wind" into "Doomsday" would be great. Asking to do a lot, but with the way he researches, he would first hear gone with the wind about him trying to cope with cancer, and then the follow up doomsday about the band trying to come to terms with Tom's passing from cancer. Either way can't go wrong!
I must say you’re bring back so many memories. I was looking at other videos and you popped up so I started watching. I enjoy seeing the joy some of the songs bring to you and it gets me pumped up like I’m hearing this for the first time. Great work !
Love the edits fam! Great vids!
The song that got me into In Flames was Cloud Connected. Great video too.
Same here, cloud connected, is one of their best
Oh boy, the good old times of In flames. If your want some more of their best songs try to hear December Flower, Jotun and Embody the Invisible. A lot of wonderful riffs and melodies on these ones
Old In flames are awesome, but new In Flames sounds pretty good too. Like sand from Battle for example is amazing song.
or sounds of the playground fading
kreshBACON Jester's Dance!
I personally would've suggested Zombie Inc, Swim, or Pinball Map first for old IF. For newer prolly woulda' went with Alias, Ropes, or Where the Dead Ships Dwell.
Goliaths Disarm Their Davids is up there, too but some songs by IF work better once you have delved deeper into them.
Only For the Weak is a good song but I don't think it shows off their full spectrum but can be easy to digest for someone who is fresh to metal.
J Robes That's something I try to keep in mind with my suggestions, been getting people into metal for 40 years ;)
its crazy how long iv`e been watching ur vids. time flies. just got back to this one and there are a lot of in flames you still got to listen to.
Love it man. Always happy to see someone enjoying metal. As a metalhead you make me wanna do reaction videos for hip hop songs. The genres have so much in common for crossover if you have the ear for it
Come Clarity!!!
In Flames were a great band. You'd love some Soilwork, I'm telling you!
*Are a great band. Their latest work is great. I don't like the elitist mindset where if a band sounds more mainstream then the music is bad. You may not be like that but a lot of old In Flames fans are.
Nah, even for an alt-metal album Battles is kind of a mess - and I'm okay with their sound change, I love Sounds of a Playground Fading
pewukut Yeah I listen to a ton of In flames old and new stuff but the only song from battles I listen to is The end. Just for perspective I made a list of my favorites on Spotify: open.spotify.com/user/simonliii/playlist/5QUEds3Fb2EWa5tkeP2PIt?si=zEXDVwEQS663rwbgQGL3Cg
Wallflower and Here Until Forever are the best songs on the new album imo.
I'm cool with bands changing even if I don't like the change. It is art after all. I'm certainly no elitist, I listen to Babymetal for fucks sake lol. New In Flames sucks IMO!
Bro I really have lots of love for your content.i loved metal and hip hop growing up and it was my favorite thing to do to get others to check out metal and see there reactions.so your videos are awesome.
I really like how you break down these songs. I've been listening to these songs for years and learn something new about them from watching these videos.
Swedish metal 🤘
Lol ja det är det
was actively waiting for this one. Nice!
Your edits are the best in the business I swear man😂😂
as a veteran In Flames fan, I salute you!!!
Architects - Doomsday!!!!
In Flames - The Quiet Place ;) Mind-blowing!
bro when the song started i got instant chills, excellent choice on the song can't go wrong with only for the weak
ok you have me binge watching your reactions lol love your editing!!
You're reactions take me back to my middle school years when I first got into this genre and fell in love with it. You are amazing keep doing what you do 💜 love you man!!!
Denver Thurman I love you more
Alex Hefner please don't stop what you do. Tbh your videos get me through the day simply because of your humor and pure heart. Thank you for everything you are 💜💜
lol dude your face is priceless during the solo ahahahaha love it
Zombie inc. by in flames
Fuck All That Pop Shit - Probably my favourite guitar solo of all time
Dat solo tho
Absolutely their best.
Shallowness in beauty
InFlames - Bullet Ride
you will enjoy that one
Anything from Clayman is great. Anything prior to Come Clarity really. After that it's all trash.
No anything after, reroute to remain is trash..
Agreed - the Clayman album is fantastic, perhaps the culmination of their old style coalescing into very catchy, yet still heavy metal.
Bullet Ride is life
witty screen name No, It’s still melodic death metal.
When Clayman first came out and I heard this song I wanted to trash my entire room. Listening to In Flames gives me so much energy to this day!
Sinyk beast of an album. They did a bunch of good ones in a row, clay was probably their ”black album”.
Fredrik Svärd I agree, colony is my favorite
i like this guy he can really appreciate any type of music! keep it going man
In Flames has been my all time favorite band since back in high school. Definitely appreciate this video.
Judging by your reaction to certain bands like Gojira and In Flames, and particularly how you react to certain parts of each song, you certainly enjoy musicianship and the technical aspect to songs. So I would highly recommend Dream Theatre, particularly The Dance of Eternity and Metropolis Part 1: The Miracle and the Sleeper. You will LOVE it! And i mentioned this in your Metallica: For Whom the Bell Tolls video, you should definitely do ORION!! Peace.
Satyan Gunasekaran Orion is probably my favorite instrumental, and i get down with Dream Theater as well.
DT is awesome
On point. He might also enjoy Dragonforce, if blistering speed is his thing. They can get a bit masturbatory though.
A total treat for the ears! No offense to Alex, but he always headbangs oddly, I would love to see him headbanging to some DragonForce.
In Flames are my all time top band. Anything from the melodeath scene is beast.
My word! I love your reaction videos 😂😂
Dude, I discovered your channel about a week ago and I simply love your enthusiasm you put in your videos! Keep it up, man! I hope you had fun at the trivium concert :) If you wanna get into In Flames more, I recommend 'My Sweet Shadow', 'Sounds of a Playground Fading' or 'Trigger'. Cheers from Germany!
You gotta react to Avatar. One of the most unique bands in the metal scene right now.
One of their best songs.
Please do a reaction to Ne Obliscarious - and Plague flowers the koliedoscope
Only for the weak is the first song with proper melodeath screams that I heard (and loved) so I can recognize myself in your reaction quite a bit :D
It got me deep deep into those more hardcore metal waters.
What I would recommend you now is Dark Fortress - As the world keels over
It's a beautiful song, you might like it as well
I got to see them three times, each time was a serious treat. Their lyrics and music are definitely one of the more uplifting aspects of metal bands. Much love for them, and respect to you, Alex!
Gojira - Art of Dying
36 Crazyfists - The all Night Lights
All that Remains - This Calling
Mudvayne - Dig
As i lay Dying- Forever
all older but verry good
Beartooth - In Between
Isaac Duplantis Thief vocalist was originally part of Attack Attack! and they are really good live. Without Attack Attack! Beartooth wouldn't have as much influence as they do now in my opinion.
Corey Mcdaniel both amazing bands!
In-Flames Vacuum. that's the one. deep lyrics, great delivery and a diverse mix of light and heavy
Bayer Head I second that. Rarely see this song mentioned. One of my favorites. Still to me My Sweet Shadow beats every song ive ever heard in my life.
“Take this life” is another great one from them
Hell yeah! This was my first In Flames song too, yeaaars ago :) Btw i've met them - really cool dudes! :D
Awesome, In Flames was my fave melodeath band growing up
Great stuff man
In Flames is one of the best Melodic metal bands ever. I have seen them three time live now and just absolute love them. So happy your did this one!
Fear is the weakness is another really good why by in flames
And take this life couldn’t think of the name lol
Goliaths disarm their davids is their best song imo.
Nice, Only for the weak works much better live though! Check out the performance at Wacken.
Agreed!
No check out the live at sticky fingers
This Concert in 2003 was one of the most intense gigs i've ever been to. The first time I believed the guy on stage saying: "You're best crowd we ever had" totally amazing!
i think in flames keep the record for most crowd surfers during one set (i remember him saying that this year at graspop while i was there)
Seen in Flames live twice (and a third time at a festival but I didn't stay long) I wasn't impressed until I heard this song, it really is a game changer.
Always love seeing people become In Flames fans.
I have a half sleeve that's all In Flames on my right arm and plan on expanding it to a full.
This band saved my life when I was 15 (the song Come Clarity to be exact).
Last year I got to meet the band and tell them my story after they got done admiring my sleeve and their reactions couldn't be put into words. They hugged me and told how much it means to them that their music affected someone that much.
I left shaking from nerves being shot.
Never have I ever met a band like In Flames. The most amazing and down to Earth people you could ever meet.
I'm glad there are people who keep open mind about metal. In Flames is definitely a legend, their song's improve my mood at any time.
Check out In Flames - Moonshield.
As I lay dying-the sound of truth
Insomnium next please
Insomnium best metal band ever
YAAAASSSSSSSS ALL OF THEIR WORK IS MASTERPIEEECEEEEEEE
Nabila Najma Izdihar which song is your favorite?
Storm Killzone All are pretty similar
The moth, that ate your fav shirt hmm no. I disagree
Nice man I enjoyed!
Nice!!! Sweden represent! In Flames introduced me to the metal genre when i was little and i've been a metalhead since. Keep up the great reactions.
You and me both brotha
If you like this song you should also react to: Cloud Connected, Ordinary Story, My Sweet Shadow, Jotun, just to name a few more In Flames songs.
That thing you are doing with your head, that is why i listen to In Flames, it gets me going! Feels good!
Alex I've been watching you react for a couple years, this is by far my favorite you did. I've been listening to In Flames for many years, cant believe I didnt see this until today.
P.S I love watching you cringe at people getting knocked out lol. I love MMA, I'm happy you're doing those videos.
React To Everytime I Die by Children Of Bodom
Damn I love their tone so much. A truly unique band whos sound changed a bit through out the years, but always managed to sound original.
Hey Alex,
I just discovered Your channel one day ago, and I enjoy watching You and Your expressions with a lot of fun! ;-) :-) Thank You for sharing Your Metalreactions!!!
Allthough You get tons and tons of hints like „watch this“ and „react to that“ and my chance to get Your attention is very low, I still try to recommend You something very special in Heavy Metal.
Since i was a kid, I'm listening to this band, and over the decades their music is still so special and uncomparable to me! I was lucky enough to meet them in person and now I got their autographs tatooed on my arm! Since the beginning in the 80ies there's a special bond between the Fans and their Kings of Metal, as they named them. To make it not even more thrilling - they are called MANOWAR !!!!
I considered a lot within the last 30 hours, wich of the hymns would be perfect to listen to, if You don't know Manowar at all, and the one, that shows most of the typicall elements of their magnificent music is „The Power Of Thy Sword“!! It's so majestic, so bombastic, heroic, pathetic, epic, diversified .. I don't want to reveal much more! Just - please - listen to it! And I am absolutely shure - You won't regret it!!!! And You will realize: The Music of Manowar is like a fertilizer for Your chest hair !!!!
Thank You so much in advance and headbanging greetings from a german Metalwarrior
Ivory Elvenson
LOVE THIS!
In flames and soilwork made 2 different songs with them together in the videos. Trigger is in flames's song and soilwork made Rejection Role. Have a look Alex it's super interesting! Regards
strikerromanov i completely agree! It would be awesome to do both songs and music videos in one reaction video. Both bands are incredible but far too underrated.
My thoughts as well. Two of my favourite bands.
More In Flames! Try Episode 666 or Pinball Map :)
paulwakefield both are great songs. Older In Flames is awesome.
👍
Pinball map is so good
Evil in a closet will always been one of my favourite in flames songs. Hits ya right in the feels
In Flames:
Lunar Strain -> Behind Space, Clad In Shadows, In Flames;
The Jester Race -> Moonshield, The Jester's Dance, Artifacts Of The Black Rain, December Flower;
Whoracle -> Jotun, Gyroscope, Jester Script Transfigured;
Colony -> Embody The Invisible, Ordinary Story, Colony, Zombie Inc, Coerced Coexistence, Man Made God;
Clayman -> Pinball Map, Only For The Weak, Clayman;
Reroute To Remain -> System, Trigger, Cloud Connected;
Soundtrack To Your Escape -> The Quiet Place, Touch Of Red, My Sweet Shadow;

[EP]Black-Ash Inheritance -> Goliaths Disarm Their Davids
, Acoustic Medley;
On asop you are missing the chosen pessimist
Alias too!!!
Bro listed basically all of colony to start with😂
Embody The Invisible is another great In Flames song to listen to!!!
Alecin Solidarity joint favourite with Artifacts of the black rain. Not heard an in flames early song I don't like though
Moonshield, Jester's Dance, Dialogue with the Stars and Zombie Inc. are also solid jams from In Flames.
Also, Man Made God. They make some legit instrumentals!
In Flames-" Wayfaerer" the best flames song IMHO.
Another great song in the same genre is Nerve by Soilwork. Good bands both.
Dayani Mika Soilwork kicks ass
I fucking cannot comprehend how the weakest song from Clayman and weakest and I would even say the worst song Nerve by Soilwok (god dammit, Stabbing the Drama has so many cool songs, but this one is just awful) are considered the greatest. The Crestfallen, Stabbing The Drama, Distance or Blind Eye Halo are much better songs from that album, but everyone is going apeshit about Nerve every single time. It's just sad.
Apeshit eh? Not real sure how saying another great song like Nerve was going Apeshit. Lmao
Michal Mizerák Looks like you're the only one going apeshit about it there bud
Soilwork, compared to In Flames, have kept closer to their original sound. Their next album will probably be more heavy again, seeing how they are going back to older logoes and such.
But I have loved all of their newest albums. Imo, Soilwork doesn't have one bad album. ALl of them have some weak songs tho.
As a metalhead, i fucking subscribed !.
Love your reaction, and how you told about the lyrics.
Keep the vibe high champ ;)
Avatar - let it burn
Devin Townsend. That is all.
^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^ Devin's on another level.
that is all ... that is everything!
I keep suggesting Strapping Young Lad - Love, he's gotta do it at some time, Devin Townsend is one of the most talented people in metal, maybe ever
The Mighty Masturbator is my favorite song from him; goofy ass name, but man that song is an experience. ◘__◘
Ahh I remember my first time hearing this song, it blowed me away, I was stunned, like in a trance haha, then I played it in a loop, listening over and over again, headbanging and feeling the words going deeper and deeper into my heart... 💚
Well, scandinavian quality! 👌
I really like your open mind and love for other types of music!
Listen Take this Life from In Flames too
I'm not sure you might find the documentary a headbanger's journey to be interesting
In Flames - December Flower
In Flames - The Jester's Dance
Why The jesters door? Why not Evil in the Closet or something else from that album?
Actually one of the good reactors I've seen on RUclips, you provide meaningful and insightful commentary rather than just watching the video with a blank expression!
Listen to some At the Gates
Fuck yes
orion parker slaugher of the soul ;)
Or older In Flames
Nah fam, binded in fear cover by fleshgod
Paul YES!!!
