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.

I always wondered about that line, like is that what he literally meant. But apparently so. :D Another one that's been bugging me is from TQP. "Push the dirt, make me feel". I mean, are we sure this is not about gay sex?

Perhaps the crowds didn't move. I still fail to understand why that song isn't a hit. :(

Noticed Drained won the best Battles song voting at r/InFlames. I know it’s all subjective but I still find it strange. For me Drained is probably a bottom 3 song, together with HUF and Through My Eyes. And on an album like Battles that’s saying something. :D As for the best song I would go for...

But with reverse initials it would have become ED4life. :D Considering this DE4life probably isn’t that bad after all.

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...
