    New album Foregone out February 2023

    What I like in music is when I listen to a song again and every time I discover something I didn't notice before. A nice melody underneath, a cool riff, a drum pattern, a change of tone, you get the idea. It is my indicator of how much depth a song has. Foregone is such a case, while Battles and...

    That is actually true, how do you know that?

    New album Foregone out February 2023

    I listened to a podcast for the new album today. The guy accused Nuclear Blast and the band for purposely releasing misleading singles and deceiving the audience about the sound of the new album. I disagree. Firstly, the last 2 singles had a different sound and that was an indicator. Secondly, I...

    Totally agree! I'm also a guitarist myself and this record did make me want to try some songs on my guitar. SoSD is actually fun to play. I can appreciate in a different way a complicated mind blowing prog riff or a simple but cool sounding one. And let's face it, In Flames were never about...

    New album Foregone out February 2023

    It has been a hell of a day with studying and working, but I found time to listen to the album in full some times. The Beginning of All Things: A simple but beautiful piece of acoustic work. It is very atmospheric, but also very repetitive. It could be better if Bjorn developed this melody a...

    New album Foregone out February 2023

    I've listened to the album a couple of times, but I will need to listen to it more tomorrow to have a full review. My overall opinion is positive! So far I enjoy A Dialogue in B Flat Minor and Pure Light of The Mind the most and really hate Bleeding Out. @ciko_gfb Glad you are ok, mate. I do...

    @ciko_gfb Is everything ok, my neighbour? I've heard about the earthquake in Turkey

    New album Foregone out February 2023

    I got an email that my pre-order is on its way. Maybe it will arrive tomorrow. I am looking forward to better quality versions of Cynosure and In The Dark. From the reviews A Dialogue in B Flat Minor could be an interesting track. The snippet from Pure Light Of the Mind sounded cool, it gave...

    I think I've said it before, I certainly do not consider Anders a good clean singer. He is far from that. But his voice has a distinguishing tone, which somehow works for me (when is not full of autotune). I do consider him a good screamer. His screams can be pretty accessible to people outside...

    I agree with eochaid. WWR is quite good musically, it has a nice build up and a catchy chorus. But the shit lyrics prevent me from enjoying it. References to older songs is not cool, just cringe and uninspired. One of the three songs I skip on ITM ( but better than House and In This Life).

    I've listened to the 3 mini leaks a couple of times. As far as I can tell from a phone recording, Cynosure sounds the most interesting. In The Dark is also cool and Bleeding Out totally generic.

    New album Foregone out February 2023

    Turns out that if you google, you can already find the lyrics to the unreleased songs. They seem legit based on the snippets. IN THE DARK It seems so real when you whisper Just like holding down your breath We’re slowly dying So how do we solve this without regrets? This is a war and no one...

    New album Foregone out February 2023

    After listening all the singles so far, I would rank them like this: State of Slow Decay The Great Deceiver Foregone pt2 Meet Your Maker Foregone pt1 The first two might change position. I find Foregone pt1 quite boring and I always tend to skip it.

    I saw it too! Is there any chance it is Bleeding Out? I considered they will release teasers of the unreleased songs by order

    New album Foregone out February 2023

    Maybe I missed something, but if Jester Slave is talking about Fear Is The Weakness, I do remember an interview at that time with Anders where he was asked if this song is about Jesper and he replied that it could be. To be honest though, I think it is the usual reply from Anders no. 714 ("if a...

    I've read a Greek review about Foregone, I will sum up the most interesting parts. -Best work since ASOP. -The singles are misleading, the rest of the album is closer to the sound of ITM, but with much better compositions. -Pure Light Of the Mind is a power ballad, Dialogue in B Flat Minor...

    http://www.radiometal.com/article/in-flames-maitre-temps,437834#more-437834 I found this huge interview with Anders. You can use Google translate. There are pretty interesting stuff there about recording the new album, working with producers, Niclas leaving the band for feeling exhausted...

    I had some free time today, so I picked my favourite tracks from each album and then used pubmeeple to rank them. My picks: TJR: Moonshield, Artifacts Of The Black Rain, The Jester Race Whoracle: Jotun, The Hive, Worlds Within The Margin Colony: Embody The Invisible, Ordinary Story, Colony...

    I just want to say that THE are not in position to say bad things about In Flames and that is because, like it or not, In Flames are a much bigger band and any bad word towards them would harm THE image. Saying positive things about the famous band that you came from, surely helps with your...

    There are a couple of interesting things here. I would just like to mention that Pure Light Of The Mind from the new album will have falsettos in the verses.
