I’m in awe of how good the ATFRT remake turned out. Makes me want to ask Suno for a church organ version, burn it on CD and attach a note that says: ”Should anything happen to me, please play this at my funeral.”

This is both hilarious and sad at the same time. Hilarious for obvious reasons, and sad because a) the lyrics are true, and b) the song proves that in the not so distant future, we won't be needing humans to compose our music anymore. I chuckled at "Shitposting is the easiest way", and my...

Not gonna lie, the rapid advancement of the AI technology sometimes makes me think of the concept of "The Jester Race" album. As Anders explained in the interview in the Aschaffenburg 1996 video (quoting from memory, these aren't his exact words): "If we lend too much of our brain to the...

The part inside the rectangle made me chuckle a bit.

Make In Flames Great Again. How to start?

So Anders' daughter got Come Clarity dedicated to her, and the son got Here Until Forever. I think we know who's the favorite child.

There are over 250,000 as "Johansson" is the most common last name in Sweden. So good luck trying to find out more about Jennica I guess. MetalStorm.net has "Nisse B" appear as "Nisse Bostedt." However, "Nisse" is usually rather a nick name for guys called Niklas/Niclas and Nils than a real...

Merry Christmas! Eat well, drink with your family, and try to forget about work for a moment. And, should you have a taste for the extreme, listen to Battles in its entirety.

Sadly, I believe they permanently plunged into mediocrity and irrelevance after LtM.

Clayman (together with Colony) has arguably the best mix / post-production In Flames has ever had. I can only say "if it ain't broken, don't fix it." Would've rather had a Reroute 20th anniversary re-recording in 2022. The only good thing I can say about C2020 is those additional leads in...

Well yeah the band is technically active, but activities seem frustratingly rare. After the 2016 reunion there's been some gigs in Germany and they also played at ProgPower in 2017. Upon reuniting in 2016 they also announced they are writing new songs and the plan is to release a new album in...

Angel Dust has been trying to make a new album since 2004. (Or to be more precise, 2004-2011 and 2016- since they disbanded for a few years in 2011.) I’m not holding out much hope for this album anymore. I think they lost their momentum because of internal conflicts around and after the time...

I eventually ended up in talks with a bootleg collector who had it, but unfortunately I didn’t have anything interesting to offer in trade and IIRC he wouldn’t sell it (only trade).

I’m still pissed off at the guy who started uploading the Istanbul 2005 show on eMule but went offline forever well before the upload was completed. I know I probably should give him the benefit of doubt (broken PC or something) but for some reason I always thought he did it just in order to...

Also, Anders said in an interview that it will always be just Björn and himself writing the songs. EDIT: he probably meant out of the bandmembers since Benson is credited as co-writer on all the tracks on Foregone.
