In Flames

^^^it is pretty catchy innit? but heh i like their stuff...

lol at the "few killer and mostly filler"

Old In Flames is important essentials of MDM, even up the Clayman.
Love them!

I guess In Flames are one of thoose bands that gets people into extreme metal? I'll know that they did it to me.

Ohh how i miss the good old days, when In Flames delivered some of the best Melodic death metal ever made to this quite boring stuff now :/

their older stuff sounded okish... their vocalist i dont like tho... sounds like a mix between hardcore and black metal vocals...

their new stuff just sounds like complete shit altogether

It's easy...don't like - don't listen. I like In Flames, no matter what...old or new.

i dont listen... just stating my opinion on this band...
i know theres plenty of ppl out there who dont like iced earth... my best friend being one of them... but its their opinion... they are entitled to it


but again... their new stuff is just horrible... shouldnt be considered melo death anymore...

Their new stuff is pretty much alternative metal...

also id like to add that their artwork on the newest album looks like an emo band album art... they shoulda stuck with their old album cover style

Tool is only one truly alternative band, what a wonderful vocals and sound! Bands like Slipknot, Linkin Park and other similiar to them are real big shit. Maybe yet Alice In Chains is good cuz most of people know them, but they have elements of grunge and I hate the grunge cuz that 'something' destroy my beautiful 1970s hard rock and 1980s heavy metal.

maybe not emo but it is worst and you have right with that.

I cannot say taht I have ever actually listened to this band. I have heard very mixed reviews of their stuff.

New In flames sound more like a alter-rock band They sold out - totally.

You should try evertything up to Clayman imo.
Especially The Jester Race and Whoracle.

There you got real good melodic death metal.


Nice to see a old In flames pic up on lastfm now.

Personally, i like every In Flames album except A Sense of Purpose and Soundtrack... And even on those albums i like a couple of songs. Their old stuff if definitely the best tho, like everybody says.

I'll pretty much second that.

They went downhill after Clayman in my opinion. As for the new stuff, well.....

Yeah, agree with you. I think it was the dreads that made the change

Lyrics are weak as fuck.

"I've come to realize
Every little glimpse, you fade
I was told that I could fly
When least expected, cloud connected" ... The Fuck?!

Not all hate tho. Catchy as hell.

I agree with most people here about how in flames turned into shit after clayman...colony was a good album...

i dont deny listening to them, but honestly i havent listened to them in a while now...a long while. i think theyre one of those bands that you like at first coz theyre catchy or whatever, but then you just forget about it....so yeah...

plus like most of melo-death bands now have either an alt-rock sound or they turned into core or some other shit...

in short...after clayman, theyre not even worth checking out.... :/

Yes indeed i stopped to buying their albums five or six years ago anyway and i m not a big fan of them now.But old albums are pretty good i ve jester race, whoracle, colony,clayman and still listening them.

Yeah the old albums are some of the best melodeath out there. Amazing melodies, and whoracle and jester race have an atmospheric you can't find on the new records.


Not a big fan of the new sounds, but hey anyway i would chold Reroute to Remain higher then any random , crappy metalcore band. Like BFMV and BMTH, that is utter shit.

This band turned into Limp Bizkit. Blech!

Melo-death was always a weak genre to start with. I have trouble finding any 'death' in the majority of melodic dm bands. When I heard Lunar Strain for the first time, musically I couldn't hear any 'death' and the vocals, though a bit of a growl were pretty weak, 'growls' alone do not make something DM anyways.
It doesn't surprise me in the slightest what they've become.

each to their own...personally i used to be a big fan of melo-death...but then i stopped for some reason unknown and now i prefer tech dm or brutal, old school, or anything of that sort

but i was just talking about the band in general. some people like melo-death...so yeah each to their own i guess.

Early melodic death metal is great, modern melodeath sucks imo.

i agree with that...but then again when a band fucks up you loose all your interest/respect for them :/

waste of talent

Agree 100 % with you cheese.

I would say in flames is a good example there. They certainly have the talent but they take in a wrong direction.
