In Flames

Just how it sounds, but yeah.

He is just, like, a guy – Like us, you know, who was like, I fucking love Swedish brutal death metal and I fucking love like dark tranquility and in flames.

And so why not?

Like,

They that's just where all their influences are.

They never really tried to like.

break out of that or do something, you know, they didn't try and go like metal core, like in flames did, or, you know, more synths or, you know, they just, they just do their thing.

You know, they're, they're not meeting potatoes, but they're, it's like bolt thrower.

And then looking ahead to December, December the 8th, Trivium.

Come to Vancouver along with In Flames, Orbit Culture, and Frozen Soul.

Once again, an MRG live production.

We are giving away a pair of tickets to see that.

And I just remember seeing a lot of holes in what they were doing.

You know, I remember going to this, I think it was In Flames and Iced Earth show.

And I really wanted an In Flames shirt.

And I wore small youth large back then.

And they were like, oh, all we have is 2X XL.

Is that Johnny Sollinger, Don? That was the first one with Sollinger.

first one was ellinger and it was not not a good one not a good one decent but not good sepultura roarback which i think is a collection of covers and uh avant-garde attempts at songs by the later days seven dust season solid their fourth one soil work figure number five i love this album and band like you don't understand i'd love to do a soil work series as well as in flames Okay,

continuing.

Spawn of

You know, it's not the time of Bay Area Thrash.

It's not the time of Tampa Bay Death Metal.

It's the time of In Flames touring with Black Sabbath and them talking about, wow, I can't believe Geezer Butler's actually heard our music.

Which is pretty fucking cool if you ask me.

There is a riff in there.

It reminded me specifically from a band called In Flames back in the melodic death metal days.

And I mean like Gothenburg, Sweden.

I don't know who wrote that riff.

But that was...

Make It Out? Yeah, there's a riff in there where it took me back to like...

you know, like Moonshield and like Horacle, like Clayman from those albums from In Flames.

I was like, whoa, what is this? And it was

Oh, man, what was the other one? Oh, no, what's his name? Oh, Bjorn.

Bjorn from In Flames, man.

Like, holy crap.

Like, you can't...

I know that's a weird one, but I love his

playing.

I love In Flames.

I've listened to a lot of In Flames over the years, and

Between the Bury Me? Nope.

I'm on In Flames, The Jester Race.

Okay.

This came out in 1996.

And, and when I first heard that and there's some other clean elements and really cool playing on this whole album or whatever, but that particular song at the beginning where it started and it's just a gesture race.

So yeah, it does kind of have that like thrashy upbeat or whatever, but it makes sense.

Cause if you look at the album art, you almost can picture the album art during this song because you're like, racing as a jester through fucking you know being a kind of like a clown through life you know and just trying to fucking we're all in this fucking clown race to get somewhere and we all end up at the same fucking place in a box in the ground so I just always kind of been a fan of In Flames they've done different avenues throughout their whole career they've gone soft they've gone weird i mean then they got back heavy again from the album of like last year they got super heavy again um always been a fan they've always been great players but this particular song really nostalgic for me and i just remember hearing that first part and i never heard anything like that in the melodic death metal adding all those cleans and shit i was like this is fucking cool man so

Yeah.

Yeah, Dan's frozen.

And then In Flames, Lunar Strain.

Ooh, that's a good one.

Did Kix release an album in 94? That's what we need to establish.

But we go in Swedish.

But the only caveat to this was that no one was allowed to celebrate an In Flames album beyond 2001, which I think we're all good with.

Why was that the case?

Because In Flames just stopped being a great band and decided to peddle a load of new metal tinge shite.

Yeah.

Allegedly.

And to put that into death metal was...

This is when they hit gold.
