LYRICS:
It is my reflection
But I know it’s not me
I am becoming something else
I feel the weight of the key
This place is falling apart
There’s no way back
Passing through the gates
A new shadow will reveal itself
The stories have run their course
None of them make sense
We’re all someone else’s fool
Buried in our own debris
Destroy the things you know
Destroy yourself in shame
Before tomorrow comes
Destroy everything
Faith alone won’t sustain
We’re in a state of slow decay
I hear forgive and forget
But I see there’s no way
Seen it through the accolades
It all should be a great success
#inflames #metal
But their are so many burdens
World is heavy and full of distress
#inflames #stateofslowdecay
Clayman was life changing for me. This song feels like they're waving to their older fans saying, "We haven't forgot about you."
@@mortuan13 lol! Poser 😂
🤣
@@mortuan13 they've fucking sucked since come clarity. That's not a genre thing. I listen to everything from classical to bollywood. They just became too formulaic. And they beat the formula to death. A move to older sounds is welcome.
Colony was like that as well.
They don't. It's somewhere around Come Clarity era, so old In Flames was already dead.
Dude, YESSS!! Let's goooo yurrrrr
Hopefully the rest of the new album stays along the lines of melodic death. A little groove here and there doesn't hurt, but keep it real this time, guys!!
Lol, RUclips wants me to translate this to English 🤣
Love Samus! Now a drummy for sure!!!
yes sir mate big band boom
Oh yurrrrr 🤘
This is the In Flames we love!
Totally agree!!
@@JoseHernandez-zu7qf p p
You not we, the In Flames i loved is Whoreacle
*This actually sounds like IN FLAMES! And I didn't expect In Flames in 2022 to actually sound like IN FLAMES I fell in love with!*
Holy shit right! This just brought a big fuckin' grin to my face!
I wouldn't be surprised if this is the only song, or one of a couple songs that sound like it on the upcoming album. All their albums since Clayman have had one or two obligatory faster songs in which they recall their old energy but always in a rather lethargic, unoriginal way. On Battles it was Through My Eyes, on I the Mask it was Burn and the title track, on Siren Charms it was Everything's Gone and so on. This one is fast, it's melodic, it has riffs instead of strums, but I just don't feel excitement listening to it. It sounds like Take This Life, At the Gates' Blinded by Fear, and the last couple In Flames albums distilled into one song.
I don't even care if In Flames makes new stuff that sounds like their 90s output anymore. I just want them to do something that has creativity in it.
I’m an In Flames fan and if they want to change it up I’m fine with it as long as it’s good and if they want to sound like older In Flames I’m fine with that too. I don’t blame a band if they don’t want to make the same record over and over again. This song is an absolute banger.
Bruh. This shit was ripped right off clayman swear to god!!
No, it doesn't sound anything like Clayman. Clayman barely approached this level of speed or riff-to-strum ratio. Listen to At the Gates' Blinded by Fear and you'll see where the true resemblance lies.
Well shit. This came out of nowhere. They haven’t sounded this good and aggressive since Come Clarity. Main riff has a very Blinded By Fear feel to it, which is of course awesome. Being back on Nuclear Blast and and then Anders saying this song is meant to be a statement is good news I think, but I will still remain cautiously optimistic.
Exactly same thought I had :p
its at the gates blinded by fear riff with some notes switched around
It didn't come out of nowhere it came from The Halo Effect showing them the fans want the old sound... wake up call... boys still got it!
I dunno, them re-recording parts of Clayman seemed to me like a sign that they wanted to reconnect with their roots again.
@@I_am_Jordan_K It was worse than the original though!
I’ve been a fan of In Flames for well over 20 years. Hearing a song that sounds so equally “throwback” and modern is refreshing! Welcome back guys.
I definitely find some soundtrack vibes even with so many changes to the band. I like it better than ... well I can't think of one.
Right. But the production is waaay too poslished. Nothing like a real amp and cab with no post production on it.
This was such an unexpected return to their signature sound! Glad to see them back doing what they do best!
Zo ken ik InFlames weer 🤟🤟🤟🤟
Lets hear the entire record first.
with the Halo effect having 3 of the original members creating very nice stuff as well, I think they had the need to deliver something good again. The riff is very
similar to blinded by fear of At the gates
really there ftuff is good no matter what even real metalhead metal is about experimentation and creating new sounds that filter down to the other genres. It is classical version 2.0.
@@pleasuretokill its called the Halo Effect
In FLAMES - THE HALO EFFECT - DARK TRANQUILLITY what an amazing three bands!!!
Mentioning the Halo Effect I think they lit a fire under IF`s ass and maybe thats one of the reasons this track is so good IMO
@@keyboardcarrot this is better than any of The Halo Effects songs release so far.
The Halo Effect is the true In Flames!
@@BalashToth No, this is good song, but weaker than all revealed THE songs.
They all have their thing going on. At the Gates was and is still superior in my opinion.
Wow! I'm really surprised that this sounds like oldschool In Flames with a great modern mix! Really good fast Melodic Death Metal. And Anders Voice is just brutal
THANK YOU
That good old melodeath sound almost brought me into tears. Thank you for your work!
same my dude same!
same
It also core metalcore elements as well
@@jeffriediazramos6616 no one cares as long as its GOOD !
This is a copy of At The Gates "Blinded By Fear", this is outrageous!
I am totally blinded by fear hearing this masterpiece from a band i have long forgotten ❤
yeah ! At the Gates : Blinded by fear .
I see what you did there 😂
Yes, i think the same !
At the gate has inspired so many
In Flame is just as OG as At The Gates
I really like how Anders is using some growls like from the Clayman/Reroute to Remain era. Looking forward to hearing more.
But nothing like the singing on Soundtrack to your Escape! But I like it.
It's more like A Sense of Purpose again. :)
Both of them have no growls...
@@nilegames1956 I wish. It's much less melodic and the scream is very different
@@Speed4Runs perhaps. Either way, it seems like they are trying to produce something that evokes some genuine artistic nature. Though not much in regards to their original stuff but that is everything that is trying to stay relevant.
I have thoroughly enjoyed every different “sound” In Flames has used through the years in their albums. All phases of their work Ive loved. THIS…is amazing!!!!
Agreed. People grow, people change, and people experience. An artist's style might change. Doesn't mean you can't appreciate who they've become and the art they choose to share with the world. I've enjoyed Siren Charms as much as I've enjoy Sounds of a Playground Dying, Whoracle and Clayman. People who moan that they don't sound like they used to fail to appreciate or recognize the artist's personal growth.
@@ptsb5a why should I need to care about an artist growth? I enjoy the artist for what they were, why would I want them to change? Look at Powerwolf been putting out the same album for 20+ years and it’s fucking awesome every time. I like many have no interest in seeing artist grow, because it’s most likely just gonna disappoint…
@@billrinaldi9133 did you like this song?
@Bill Rinaldi, dude grow up, you sound like such a clown. Wah wah it’s my band ! They can’t do anything unless I like it! They owe me everything! What are you like 10 years old dude??! Jesus you’re really hammering home that metal elitist stereotype, I got outta that when I was fuckin 16, it’s time for you too as well 👌
@@ptsb5a I don't mind artistic growth, but as you say, that involves experimenting, and that sometimes results in failure. And sometimes, bands just claim to grow artistically when all they do is trying to appeal to the mainstream in hopes of selling more stuff. Sometimes, we don't moan, we're just stating the truths. To be honest, I've never been that much of an IF fan (or rather, of Anders Friden's voice), so I can't speak about their discography too much. Still, I don't like that argument of yours too much, because I've seen it being thrown around way too often to defend shitty moves made by a lot of other bands.
What a great record. A masterpiece. congratulations
I love all of In Flames stuff, but this is the best they have put out in over a decade! Been having a rough Monday and this put a hug grin on my face. Keep rocking guys!
Come Clarity was the last awesome album they put out, after that they had a decent song here and there, but this song.... DAMN it's good!!
@@trendmassacre8423 I agree
@@trendmassacre8423 its good cause main riff was stolen of at the gates ) Yeah, come clarity was last good album.
IN FLAMES WE TRUST!!, welcome back boys god am i glad to see you 🤘🤘🇨🇦
YES! So good!
At the gates blinded by fear is what springs to mind
just copy/paste
Quite sad indeed.
Because it's the only song of them you know😂
@@chrisdee216Exactly, that pretty much describes 90% of At The Gates "fans" 😂
If people would have told me, that i will hear old school IN FLAMES in 2022 i would have called them liars. Love it.
Also listen The Halo Effect.
Listen The Halo Effect
There's nothing 'old school' about this... it's corny as fuck lol
FINALLY!!!!!!
for me oldschool in flames is anything pre-R2R era, this sounds better than anything after that but its still pretty corny lmao. i low key like it tho.
This shows again that they can do so much more than people give them credit for🔥
It sounds a lot like Slaughter of the Soul, legendary 90's Swedish melodic sound!!!!! Times became darker so the real In Flames woke up
What chu know about that old At The Gates!! Was happy to see that reference. 😁
I hear it too! Actually just commented about it. ☝️🤘🤘
Seriously? It sounds like an ordinary metalcore.
@@ibayazitov in flames invented the melodies that you think of when you hear metalcore
@@johnsnider2956 i dont like metalcore :)))
As an old fellow loving everything this band put out from the mid 90s until 2011, I was never hating on the 'new' In Flames, but I must admit this cought me by surprise the best way possible and I'm absolutely loving it! ♥️ don't know why exactly, but I'm getting some serious clayman vibes here!
This sounds much more like Come Clarity and Sense of Purpose and I’m loving it
@@2000Doriyas The main verse riff definitely reminds me of March to the Shore, and the overall tone has that ASOP vibe. Very classic "middle era" In Flames.
I was ready to be completely disappointed again. But this is incredible. Its been a long time since a song has given me chills like this. It feels like In Flames again and that incredible era of early melodic death metal.
Hell yeah
Damn, sounds like In Flames are back! I hope the whole new album sounds like this!
Oh my god, In Flames is back. Weve missed you. Lets just pretend the last 15 years didnt happen and get back on track. This is awesome!
This brought me WAY back to early In Flames. Some of these riffs remind of old At The Gates as well. Can we expect a solid new album!? I honestly can't believe what I just heard. Fucking incredible.
Absolutely
Strong atg vibes there, love it
thank you very much, i immediately remembered a well known band but didn't think of it - at the gatesss
The lyrics say it all. Hes shaving the hipster beard and growing the dreds! He's coming home!
Totalmente de acuerdo contigo
Was let down by the Clayman remaster but i must say this is the best song they've put out since 2008
Clayman remastered was garbage. And the re-recorded tracks were laughably bad. Sounded like demos
totally accurate
I have to agree, ironically 'State of Slow Decay" describes the quality of their releases since then pretty well. Maybe the streak has come to an end? Still the main licks are generic-ass In Flames and not in a good way.
@@EckhardKain yeah same. This song at least has energy but very unimaginative guitar leads.
I could hear this song on any of the last 3 records. Wish they'd stop chasing the imaginary mainstream dollar and focus on being creative.
@@Hans_Lex I feel their creativity left the band a long time ago ...
Over 15 years I have been waiting for In Flames, my used to be favourite band, to finally release something heavy again. Thank you for this one, and hoping for more!
this is my IN FLAMES I listen when I was a teenager!!. the 90s heavy sound
The best song they've dropped for nearly 20 years. This is increduble
this is absolutely not even remotly true bro
2002 - reroute to remain, 2004 - Soundtrack to your escape, 2006 - Come Clarity. Around 15 years would fit it better I'd say.
Yeah I was just saying to a buddy that this was a sound closer to Reroute or Come Clarity era In Flames and I'm loving it. Hopefully my excitement is not premature lol
@@Evidancer exactly
To you, maybe
Haven't heard this type of pace from in flames in years.
I hate how whenever I come to an In Flames video it's always fans saying "oh it's like the old In Flames!" "This is better than ___" cause you know if they did December Flower over and over you'd all hate it too. It's just weird. If it's good it's good. What's bad to you is good to someone else. Move on if you don't like it, continue to listen if you do.
What a banger after such a long time of drought. Hopefully their next album will be more like this again.
Best In Flames in over 10 years.
16 years lol
20 years
Waaa
20 :)
Its a great thing to grow old with a band. They were angry when i was angry. They were pushing through 30 as i was approaching it. They always manage to take what i feel and put it to music.
Truly understand. As line cook this album banging in my head is getting me through service!
In Flames vuelve a sonar como nunca tuvo que dejar de hacerlo...
That first riff is evil 😈
As if Beezlebub himself wrote it
Let's have a toast with WAP juice.
Stolen from Blinded By Fear
@@magnafrisiaband Not even close
@@BigMuff75 😂😂😂 Are you serious?? Even the riff after it is the same! Everybody is hearing it and you are saying ‘not even close’.. 🤣
You are probably new to the Metal. Welcome boy, you need to learn a lot! Don’t forget to have fun on your journey! 🤘🏻😎
This Album is perfection. Love the way you have evolved into this
Haven't listened to In Flames in over a decade. Color me impressed! This is both catchy and really heavy.
I didn't knew i missed this sound of In Flames so much until i heard it. I WANT IT BACK!
go listen to the halo effect then. more in flames members than in flames themselves and a whole album of classic in flames-style death metal coming in august.
@@MrMockigton i tried it. didn't actually click in
‘State of Slow Decay’ includes everything that In Flames are known for. But it’s more than just a song, it’s a fucking statement. I couldn’t be happier to release this as a taste of what’s to come.” Anders said.
Super excited for this
link for the post?
Proper banging- hope we get to see Chris shred on a few tracks as he’s unbelievably good 🤟🏻
In Flames has never been a shreddy band. Most of the solos fall more to the melodic side. I can only think of 2 and one was a guest solo, which happens to be in my favourite song Suburban Me.
@@RobbieFitzgerald - ah yes great album too- I just kinda meant it would be nice to see him do some solo's - some of their newer stuff has some of the longest solo's yet. Having seen Chris in Nevermore - Megadeth and opening for him in a show with Act of Defiance - it just feels like they have a Ferrari in the band and it's only being driven using the first 2 gears- don't mean a 4 minute Tornado of souls esque solo if you get what i mean ;-)
I couldn't possibly be any happier. I love the band and all their songs no matter the genre or style, but a true return to the melodic death metal edge is absolutely amazing.
I 100% AGREE W/ YOU! They’re f*****g AWESOME.
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I feel the same way! Glad they are proving the haters wrong. 🤘
The cringe is real... lol
More like a throw back to early 2000s in flames not their roots
Dude, they should have named this song 'Redemption', because this is the best In Flames I've heard in like 15 years. Bravo! That main riff is so damn catchy and in your face. It gives me some serious old school At The Gates vibes too. I'm so stoked on this and the new Halo Effect stuff coming out. Thank you In Flames! Keep it coming!
Yes. At The Gates vibes for sure.
Let's hope the rest of the album holds up.
it makes you wonder if the Halo Effect is the reason of motivation for these guys to get back in game?
@@jelenagaric1044 It's a good possibility. I watched an interview with Anders a while ago where he was basically asked that same question, and he denied it completely. I somehow get the sense though that The Halo Effect has really lit a fire under In Flames' ass lol
@@leetaylor326 This is a copy of At The Gates "Blinded By Fear", this is outrageous!
Alot of bands don't move back to their original sound - yeah you, parkway drive! - but damn, old school in flames. Respect for listening to fans, you have been missed.
What a song! You can just feel every single bit of In Flames through this one. Simply amazing!
This song brought tears of joy to my eyes , thank you In Flames. :)
Same man. Cried as soon as I heard the riff. It's been too long.
possibly the best song I've ever heard from you guy's since Clayman🤘 ❤❤❤🤘
Literal chills down my back hearing this, love to see it!! IN FLAMES WE TRUST \m/
Love the At the Gates blinded by fear vibes, riff is awesome so much strength in this 🤘
Digging the new direction, glad to see the boys still have that much energy in them ! Really liked Anders's come back to early-2000s growls too
Oh man- I haven't liked an album of theirs the way I used to WORSHIP their work since "Sounds of a Playground Fading." But... I THINK THEY'RE BACK! This is AWESOME!
Try soundtrack to your eacape
@@marcpomaville9429 Ya man the guitar work and bass thump on Soundtrack so heavy.
that riff is driving me crazy.... fire
Gotta say, since they added Hodor on lead guitar they sound true to form...hope the whole album has this power!
You guys absolutely outdid yourselves with this one. The classic Gothenburg sound is powerful!
So happy to hear the riff at 0:16. The screams are also so good. Love the throwback to the older stuff. We love old IF
It's straight up At the Gates and it's great
A cliche but this really is like a mix between old and modern In Flames sound. I prefer the old but this is a step in the right direction.
A band can't play or stay exactly the same it kills passion and progression
I totally agree! A few steps backwards and that is in my opinion the correct direction for In Flames!
как то поздновато они шаг делают...
good take thanks in a sea of trash comments that barely even listen to metal they all sound like people that like 5 bands and say they are a metalhead.
Remember I the mask? The first 2 songs revealed gave the impression that if goes back to their roots
And the album was typically if trash
Probably the existence of Halo Effect got them thinking: "Hmm, maybe we should also play actual metal again?" :)
If the whole album is like this and it isn't just a token "yeah whatever shut up" song, I'll be pretty happy. It's not a full blown return to form but I can still vibe with it.
Hopefully there will be lots of melodic stuff too, like Playground and A Sense of Purpose
Suppose it could be great if there will be mix of Clayman's energy, Come Clarity sounded and some experiements from Siren Charms
Lyle's only here cuz In Flames does the funee scream
This is such a good song IN FLAMES WE TRUST
I, too, enjoy Blinded By Fear by At The Gates
Thanks In Flames for bringing back the OG sound!!!
Wow!!! This is the In Flames I have been waiting to hear for several years; now I recognise you again! I've been following you since The Jester Race and always loved your early albums; this song takes me back to that era; well done! To celebrate, I'm putting on my Colony T-shirt :)
I wish I had a Colony tee shirt...I used to have a lot of In Flames shirts, including a signed Come Clarity....but I have lost weight and all my old band shirts do not fit me anymore. Now it is just a matter of I just do not like buying clothes anymore
@@meatshield72 Oversize is cool! wear it with pride to remind you what you accomplished!!
I unliked this comment just so I could like it twice
That verse riff is very Slaughter of the Soul sounding. I dig it.
wow this is beautiful , a full album like this and ill be in tears
This is true In Flames, was not expecting it to be this good and I’m blown away and so stoked
Crazy to think I met In Flames and Soilwork through WoW back in 2005. Still today my guys are releasing their singles together back to back.
What a journey it's been. Much love for your work. Thank you for existing.
That's kinda funny a WoW ad showed up before the video lmao
@@jamisonusmc88 Seems RUclips knows its classics 😎👌
Old School PvP only!
Ill never forget seeing them live in 2018, heaviest conecert ive been to as of now
I first discovered this band when I was 16, I'm 34 now. I first heard them on Direct TV on a metal tv channel, song was Cloud connected. I don't smoke pot but that song really connected with me. My favorite before that was Pink Floyd. I connected with In Flames so much so, they became my favorite band. My first concert was in 2011. I was suspended from work for going. I've gone to many of their concerts since then, I even paid for a VIP package and got to meet them. I have a picture of me meeting them displayed as a large oil painting from Costco directly behind me in my Den. I love this band, In Flames We Trust!
Same here, from 1989 and In Flames fan since 2006-ish
Can we stop pretending like these guys haven't been putting out bangers non stop for the past 20 years? Thanks.
ahem. 30 years because lunar strain is fire :) but yes, all in flames is good, especially the last decade
because like opeth, the 90s were the best era :)
🙌🙌🙌
Old In Flames, How I've missed you.
Ох наконец то огонь возвращается в мятежные сердца 🔥
Chegou a escorrer uma lágrima!! Está acontecendo! In Flames voltou!! ou seria apenas uma miragem? Baita som, PQP!!!!!
a música é boa mas é melhor manter as expectativas baixas até ouvir o álbum inteiro, pra não se decepcionar
@@thiagobelline Rolou até um gutural!! Mostraram que ainda sabem fazer pelo menos. Só pelo The Halo Effect hehehe que tem mais in flames que o in flames.
The production of this track is very well sorted!
This is the best InFlames I've heard in 15 years. If they go this direction..... massive W
WTF, I almost creamed when I heard this. My boys are back in full fucking force. I can't wait to see them live again soon!!!
I didn't even know this song was dropping! Got a RUclips Music notification on my phone and was like, "Oh!?"
Before hearing the song I took a quick glance at the comments and reading all the positivity got me hyped!
Then I heard the song and like you, nearly creamed my pants! Lol
Thank you In Flames for sounding like your previous glories of them good ol' days. Keep it up with that classic sound!!!! I'm a fan again.
Don't you just love some healthy competition ? In Flames stepping up their game to be on par with The Halo Effect and all In Flames" ex members. Good stuff. I hope they both thrive with great music like this.
Word 👊🏻
Anders has got a great voice and uses it really well. In flames is probably my favorite band.
Bingo!! Like it....but first 3 from Halo Effect were top notch.
@@evanbush2580 There's a fourth song out.
Yesss
Some bands can do it well in multiple styles. In Flames can't. But when these guys do their signature melodeath style, they're almost untouchable. Welcome back, In Flames, I missed this shit so much!
They can do it very well in multiple styles, you just don't want them to.
I’ve been into In Flames since Whoracle. Clay man was the last album I truly loved. The release of these songs brings a massive smile to my face and relief to my heart. I’ve not known a band that went away from their roots, producing many albums/songs that experiment with other ideas under the guise of ‘creativity’ and ‘getting older’ only to return with such conviction.
Thank you!
If Chris Broderick’s inclusion in the band has anything to do with the return of their sound, I say thank you again!
All these years and still sounding great
this could seriously be my favourite album 2023! So much old school, I feel I'm back to my teenage
this is how I like my In Flames!
So great
I like it so much !
The drums ... fantastic
In Flames !!!
Right??!! Tanner is a great drummer with amazing energy. I have a feeling his performance on the new album is going to be phenomenal 🤘🔥🤘
I was thinking the same thing - man, those drums are banger af. Reminds me of Soilwork's modern drumming.
I never thought I'd hear this kind of In Flames again!
Oh yea! Thats them alright. Love love love from NC.
maravilhoso, o velho In Flames + refrões grandiosos da fase mais recente ... um dos melhores sons da banda!!
IN FLAMES WE TRUST! AWESOME!!
Such a peaceful group.
Pure class
Sigan así, esta es la esencia que nunca debieron cambiar. Espero con ansias el nuevo material.
In Flames are "tuning the engines" for an album that we hope will be a smasher!!!!!
best InFlames record in the last decade
The rebirth of In Flames! 🔥
Holy Shit! The Halo Effect sparked a new Flame! 🤘🔥
I love how this band has kept their omnipotent sound and profound style of lyricism for so long.
I want more!
This part at 0:16 to 0:55 reminds me of Blinded by Fear of At the Gates. Arrangement is similar and riffs are kinda.
Funny I thought same exact thing
Yep.
@Scott Krasman all song is blinded by fear variation
This song is the Wish version of ATG’s Blinded by Fear. I have to wonder how many fans of this IF song posting here even know that SotS exists and is a damn masterpiece.
Man i missed this energy and these riffs from In Flames..this kind of sound from In Flames was so important to me i kinda got teary-eyes hearing it again
You guys have just gone back 20 years and I couldn't love this more ❤️ I would call this a comeback! Please stick to this style. WHAT A BANGER!!!!
