Agreed. He had a great grasp on Shakespearean-era English. I should ask him if he still dabbles in creative writing, though I think the likely answer is that he prefers to focus on his music and art. That's awesome man, we like to appeal to both foodies and cooks alike, though 90% of my...

Thanks a lot bro! I think our vocalist is a great fit too. Oh cool dude! Glad you dig it and thanks for listening. Niklas was great to work with, i've known him for some time and have collaborated with him before. Once you get past the starstruck phase you'll find he's a really down to earth...

Hey everyone, I have a food-themed melodic death metal band called At the Plates. We recently released our second full-length, Omnivore. Feel free to check it out as i'm curious what you guys think. It's a love letter to 1990's melodic death metal while incorporating elements from other genres...

I would, because that main riff/melody is lifted almost note for note from the melodic break in Clearing the Slate. Starts at 1:24. I don't think Jesper is the type to steal riffs/melodies from others, so my guess is he slightly reworked that idea for Last of our Kind. Honestly I'm torn over...

I wouldn't say it's a matter of who's 'better' but rather who's songwriting style I prefer, and in that case I would choose Jesper for a number of reasons. When Bjorn and Jesper were writing together they produced albums loaded with fresh ideas that gave each album their own identity. It didn't...

Trigger was the very first song I ever heard from IF. I was a big fan of slasher movies growing up and I bought the soundtrack for Freddy vs. Jason with my dad's money which had Trigger on it. When I heard that song for the first time, 12 year old me's mind was blown haha. Fun fact: When IF...

As experimental as R2R was, it still had the soul of classic IF in there. It was just buried by the album's muddy sound. Dark Signs, Minus, and Trigger are pretty great tracks that still sound like they were produced by the band that gave us Colony and Clayman, just a bit different. When it...

I think I started lurking on this forum around 2005/2006 maybe? I had an account a long ass time ago but I couldn't even remember what my username was, not that I ever posted anything remarkable. Anyways it's nice to see a piece of early 2000's internet culture still alive in the era of social...

Scream has a cheesy chorus, but it's at least got some energy. Bottled just sounds like the band members were on valium when they recorded it.

Jfc, that userbar style makes me feel olllddddd

Hey everybody. Nice to see this forum is still kicking. I've listened to the album enough at this point where I can say that I neither hate it nor love it. It's...actually okay IMO. Nowhere close to the level of quality as their first five records, or even R2R/CC, but I'd put it at the same...

Character is my favorite DT album. Listening to the album just feels like being on a synth-drenched melodeath roller coaster from beginning to end. The production is amazing with a balanced mix and a some great samples/tones from the drums. One track that hasn't been mentioned yet that I think...

All three of the big Gothenburg bands were on top of their lyric game at one point or another. DD and ATG have remained consistent in that department while In Flames' lyrics have notoriously declined over the years. I've listened to Phantom Days a few times and it's a solid track, pretty much...

Damage Done, Character, and Fiction will always be the DT trilogy of excellence in my eyes. They've had a pretty good discography over the years, with the exception of Haven and WATV. Projector is also a fantastic album and one of my favorites alongside the holy trilogy. The Mind's I is...
