Autotune tariffs

New Killswitch is out.

This was probably posted at some point, I only stumbled upon it today. Some dude arranged a bunch of early In Flames stuff (up to Clayman) for an acoustic guitar, but it's actually done really well and he even tackled the solos and incorporated them tastefully.

Bonus track does nothing for me, probably the weakest and most predictable song on the album imho.

To latch onto Eochaid's post more than the OP itself here, I tend to enjoy memoirs/autobiographies quite a bit and admit I'm a sucker for tour stories and anecdotes. More importantly, I tend to enjoy the most the ones that are about the artists whose music I don't enjoy all that much. Reading...

That chick who did the violin cover is pretty cool, hearing it in that context really showcases how the composition itself could be done on violin or even keyboard/piano and you wouldn't be able to tell that it came from guitar originally. I know nothing about the guy but I would be willing to...

Well, that song was already on their demo. Then they brought the dude in for the EP and he added the solo and they re-recorded the song (and the rest of the demo tracks) for the EP. Then he left the band and the band recorded their debut LP and recorded the same song for the third time, this...

So, Fredrik Johansson. Commonly mistaken with the late Dark Tranquillity ex-member who has the same name and also plays guitar. I doubt Jesper added anything because Jesper is technically way, way behind this guy, and that's why IF never played that solo live back in the 90s. I will leave on a...

On metal archives they lists a certain Nisse B. for guest guitars on that track. No idea who that might be.

Yet it's fine for all of you when Anders does the same, just because he puts the other hand on his crotch while saying "come on jump da fuck up"

It's impossible to venture into discussions like these with a straight face because it necessitates heavy guessing, filling the blanks and perceived intimate knowing of someone's mind without knowing this someone. It's also definitely not impossible to get a somewhat accurate picture of someone...

I personally thought that line was hilarious and such a great way to describe IF with brevity

This sounds like a hipster upper middle class bunch of swedes trying to reverse engineer what they (mistakenly) think American music currently is

Suprisingly great album, I'd say it beats their debut as well. The only thing that comes to mind as annoyance is the guitar tone and how overproduced overall it is, I wish the guitars had some teeth to them.
