    Non-gay bro thread a.k.a. Random offtopic stuff.

    Yeah hope he will be able to turn it into something to joke or even brag about. Going to take a lot of nerve of course. I don’t even have a smartphone for a work phone so the only way to use Teams is by laptop. So as long as I don’t take the laptop into the bathroom or remove my pants in the...

    Damn. There was some Teams training seminar in my organization. I didn't personally attend, but someone I know did. She told me at some point one participant went to the bathroom and took his phone with him so he wouldn't miss anything. He positioned the phone on a shelf or some other surface...

    I've got the impression the band was not a very tight unit around the time of ODAD anymore. Stauch was gone, and as far as I know Carlsson and Norberg have always worked day jobs as Persuader never really made it big, so perhaps they had commitment problems already. Sielck's main focus has...

    I've been listening to Savage Circus quite a bit. The band was founded in 2004 by the original Blind Guardian drummer Thomen Stauch, who had grown dissatisfied with his main band's musical direction, so he started a new project where he could play music more in vein of old school BG. Piet Sielck...

    New album Foregone out February 2023

    https://thegallery.gr/en/fredrik-nordstrom-the-gothenburg-man-eng/ This was the interview I was thinking of. Some interesting stories / memories there. Anders is mentioned as someone who wanted to move into a more American sound, but I believe ALL of In Flames were on board with the sound...

    New album Foregone out February 2023

    Well, there are different definitions for "production", and some talk of pre-production, production and post-production as distinct phases. However, I was thinking of mixing and mastering / post-production. Come Clarity was sent to Tonteknik Studio in Umeå (northern Sweden) for mixing and...

    New album Foregone out February 2023

    There was a Fredrik Nordström interview where he talked about how In Flames were always wanting to change their sound, and how he tried telling them, I don't remember his exact words but something like "Sure, we can change, but I think we should develop the current sound, start from the existing...

    I think I've only listened to the "Killhammer" album, but I quite liked it. Heavy riffs, nice melodies and powerful delivery. Definitely some cliched songtitles and lyrics though. :p Maybe I should try the new album.

    Angel Dust are still active (kind of)

    2,5 years later, still no release date. Looks like it might not happen this time either.

    Cyhra - The Vertigo Trigger - August 2023

    I don’t know about A88, but personally the only vocal part I find both good and memorable is the first half of the bridge where Jake sings "So tell me one more time that I should look the other way". Haven't listened to the whole album, and don't think I even will. Basically, it seems like this...

    Cyhra - The Vertigo Trigger - August 2023

    Listened to the song now and I liked the verse and the bridge, but damn, that chorus must be the gayest thing since two men having sex with each other. :D

    Somewhat interestingly, their Metal Archives entry lists them not as disbanded, but as being "on hold". No releases after 2003 are mentioned though, so at this point I probably wouldn't bet money on Amentes returning. :) https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Amentes/12352 EDIT: I failed to...

    I was going to say don't make jokes as bad as this... but I changed my mind. That was so bad it actually becomes good. :p

    Five Former Members Of In Flames Unite In The Halo Effect

    From memory Battles is the only IF album Engelin has songwriting credits on. He also offered to write for SOAPF, but Björn wanted to try doing it all by himself first.

    Five Former Members Of In Flames Unite In The Halo Effect

    I once heard from the world’s most cited, but least reliable source (which is “Someone told me”) that Anders was originally supposed to be the drummer. However, I don’t know if it’s ever been officially confirmed.
