In Flames are poised to turn in their crowns as kings of the melodic death metal genre and truly step to the forefront of the metal world as one of its major players. Unafraid to push boundaries with their previous releases, their new release, A Sense of Purpose, finds the band taking yet another step forward. Still, there is the patented melodic metal style that the band are famous for, yet added to it is a new level of metallic riffing that will not only appeal to their old fans but open them up    [ read more ]

The production value on Clayman is instantly apparent; the album's initial sounds jump right out and pull the listener in, conveying a power and excitement that lasts the duration of the disc. The songs on Clayman are what ultimately sell In Flames, though. With some of their best writing yet, they continue to tighten up a sound that could please fans of everyone from Queensr che to Arch Enemy to maybe even Satyricon. With their blend of speed, melody, and pensive aggression, In Flames    [ read more ]

Could this actually be European death metal's bid for a pop culture coup? In Flames already has a reputation as one of the best, most melodic death metal bands to come to power in the Euro-metal regime that has swept through countries like Sweden and Norway since the early to mid-'90s. However, with Reroute to Remain, Str÷mblad and the gang have now unexpectedly announced that they are also undoubtedly the most experimental of their brethren, and furthermore, that they have set their si   [ read more ]

In Flames was certainly under the extreme-metal microscope upon the release of Soundtrack to Your Escape and its predecessor, Reroute to Remain. The band had the potential to crack the metal underground wide to the mainstream, existing on the cusp of international stardom with its progressive extrapolations upon the Swedish metal genre they helped create. Fact is, Soundtrack to Your Escape exists to further polarize In Flames' fan base -- "Touch of Red" and opening cut {&"F(r)iend   [ read more ]

Recorded in 2000 during the band's Clayman tour, this hourlong live CD -- consisting mainly of songs from the Clayman, Colony, and Whoracle albums -- gives a good idea why In Flames has earned such wide appeal among metal fans. They're heavy and intense enough to satisfy a good portion of death/black metal listeners, but they also have a melodic flair and a general old-fashioned metal spirit likely to resonate with people more at home with bands like Iron Maiden or Rainbow.    [ read more ]

This special edition digipack combines In Flames' excellent sophomore effort, 1995's The Jester Race with the EP that served as a taster for the band's landmark follow-up of two years later, the career defining Black-Ash Inheritance. For those who missed either/or the first time around, this release offers greater incentive to discover this seminal Swedish heavy metal band. ~ Ed Rivadavia, All Music Guide

A master of progressive death metal or the "Gothenberg sound" practiced by many a Swedish band, In Flames delivers one of its best efforts with 1997's Whoracle. One extremely heavy number after another flows continuously from this record's track list, including standouts like the mind-bending "Gyroscope" and "Morphing Into Primal," just two of the original and extremely well-executed songs offered on this release. Indeed, some tracks are much better than others on Whoracle. Softer numbe   [ read more ]

Like their countrymen Entombed, In Flames add the familiar influence (and sense of groove) of classic heavy metal to their extreme death metal sounds, as well as progressive instrumental interludes that help lend a feel of epic drama to their music. Colony's arrangements experiment with sound effects, melodic guitar leads, varied textures, and Hammond organ, adding more detail, contrast, and dramatic structure to the rush of their onslaught and making it a definite step forward for the    [ read more ]

The melodic sensibilities, classical style guitar, and modal dexterity employed on the Jester Race have precursors in Iron Maiden, Dio-era Black Sabbath, and Judas Priest. It is doubtful that In Flames would argue this; they lovingly weave these timeless influences throughout their music, combining them with later-day thrash and death metal sounds. The vocals differ from the operatic Halford/Dickinson style, in that they are gravel-throated and growled, dealing with personal issues a   [ read more ]
