In Flames — Whoracle (Reloaded)

in
By Ian Gormely (CHARTattack) March 11, 2009 1:57 pm
Gothenburg, Sweden's In Flames helped forge one of the most influential sub-genres of recent years. They mixed melodic guitar lines with cookie monster vocals and gave non-fans an entry point into the world of death metal. Whoracle was the last LP In Flames recorded with original bass player Johan Larsson and guitarist Glenn Ljungstrom. It's a...

Sounds Of The Underground A Logistical Nightmare

in
By Andre Mihsin (CHARTattack) July 13, 2006 5:30 pm
The inaugural Sounds Of The Underground stop in the Toronto area was held at Arrow Hall last summer. While the airplane hanger isn't the best place to see a show, it catered well to the tour's unique festival-like demands. The venue had enough space for merchandise booths for the 20-or-so bands and the unpredictably large crowd, that started out...

Is this the shit that Clayface gets all worked up listening to before he beats the crap out of cops and stuff in my Lego Batman game? Sweeeet.

I don't know enough about In Flames to know where this reissue sits with their fan base, but I certainly hope it's clear this is a mistake of from their "wuss" period. Seriously, who listens to metal like this besides, like, weird Germans and South Americans who wear sandals made out of car tires?

Hee-hee, "whoracle." They must have been so proud when they came up with that bit of wordplay when In Flames originally put this album out years ago. As far as metal covers of Depeche Mode go, I'd rank their "Everything Counts" above any of the ones the Deftones have done, but that's not saying lots.

In Flames Move Forward — Unlike Metallica

in
By Keith Carman (CHARTattack) November 17, 2008 1:03 pm
Melodic death metal — the slightly more accessible offspring of straightforward death metal that's characterized by thick, rumbling rhythms and piercing, detuned guitars offset by vocals that oscillate between guttural bellows, intertwining harmonies and, well, melodies — is beginning to overshadow its precursor in popularity. Most of that...

In Flames Control Issues

in
By Keith Carman (CHARTattack) November 11, 2008 4:14 pm
In Flames guitarist Jesper Stromblad is a fan of adages. There's an old one that says musicians tend to treat their songs like children, watching them grow and blossom and protecting them from harm. That's a particular favourite of his because he knows it's true, and admits he had to loosen the apron strings when dealing with the Gothenburg,...

The Daily Spin: In Flames - A Sense Of Purpose

While listening to this one, I pretty much concluded that any kind of "death metal" no longer describes In Flames. They started moving away from their original sound (which, to be fair, was kinda melodic to begin with) a while back, but A Sense Of Purpose sounds to me like a confused combination of alternative metal and hard rock. No...

In Flames Intend To Steal Guitar Tricks On Gigantour

in
By Logan Broger (CHARTattack) April 30, 2008 3:30 pm
When Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine started Gigantour in 2005, he said he wanted to "put together a festival that consisted of positive bands that play heavy music in a high energy environment." It's a wonder that it took him four tries to book Gothenburg, Sweden melodic death-metallers In Flames — a band known for their high-energy...

Everything's Going Up In Flames For Swedish Metal Band

in
By Andre Mihsin (CHARTattack) July 25, 2006 4:30 pm
A lot has changed for In Flames in the last couple of years. They began as an acclaimed metal band with a loyal European following and a North American cult fan base and are now considered pioneers of melodic death metal who are enjoying huge success on both sides of the Atlantic. With success, of course, comes the backlash. Some have...

Even as their latest album Reroute To Remain continues to race up the metal charts despite being almost a year old, Sweden's In Flames are gearing up to record yet another masterpiece of crunchy riffs and throat-tearing vocals. Bassist Peter Iwers was somewhat reluctant to give any details to ChartAttack... ChartAttack: With each album, In...
