IN FLAMES new album being released by the end of 2016

[Pallbearer]

Ok. The way Anders himself worded it suggested he was already (supposed to be) in the band when the original singer changed his mind. But as it was nearly 30 years ago it's only natural different people don't remember all the details the same way.

Krofius knows more about Anders than Anders knows about himself.

 

[krofius]

Sadly, indeed. I also don't usually forget things even though they might be trivial history things. Such as remembering that Clayman was originally called ''Self Healing Instructions''. Thankfully Anders scrapped that album title and settled with Clayman lol.

 

[only4theweak187]

Haha yuck.

 

[krofius]

Sick performance. I also really like that they changed up the acoustic intro and did that melody with electric guitar instead on this tour. I believe when they have played it live before they just jumped into the song after the acoustic intro.

 

[only4theweak187]

Absolutely the greatest vocal performance from Anders ever

The growls in the vid Krofius' posted above^ are awesome as well.

Anders screams were perfect in the other videos this guy shot too

 

[only4theweak187]

Good camera work

Great vocals as well.

Yup, fantastic. And guitar work is spot on in every one of these videos as well.

The naive me says after playing these two songs back to back they will become enlightened and return to TJR songwriting. I mean, playing a song like that should make Bjorn feel like a mother f****** god. I can't believe he's content playing a "modern" song after that.

 

[galvanized]

They should keep going and play Artifacts of the Black Rain. I know Bjorn could learn the solo if he tried. NO EXCUSES

Gonna rock TJR hard today

It's funny how Nickas looks more happy playing moonshiekd than Bjorn and Anders do.

Sorry but I don't hear those great vocals.

 

[only4theweak187]

^On Moonshield the growls are great.


Songs like Before I Fall are not

 

[only4theweak187]

Bjorn really is nailing the moonshield guitar melody.


Hope they play it on the USA tour they're about to do

 

[DE4life]

Bjorn has been playing Moonshield for nearly 20 years so I'd hope he can do the melody well

The Anders myth of crowds not reacting to old songs busted again. They seem to be enjoying it - and so they should, Moonshield wins over every other song in that setlist. Very cool to see Jester's Dance through in there too - but could they not have put a Whoracle or Colony song in there instead? Maybe Anders needed a break.

Btw, I'm usually the first one to slate Anders, but he sounds fine in this performance. Cleans are poor as usual, but his growls/screams are alright.

I wonder how much pain he is suffering because of forcing his voice

It really looks as if he is the one not enjoying the song.

Didn't jesper play the lead melody live? I feel like I saw Bjorn playing the rhythm on the used and abused dvd...

But now that I think about it, that Seoul Korea 2002 show I believe Bjorn was playing the lead. Not sure. Have to watch it again

 

[A88]

That Moonshield version was quite nice. Anders not being whiny hipster and all.

But... Joe is too robotic. That song would really shine with a good drummer. Some ghost notes, nice groove...

And why is Bjorn raping the wah pedal all the time? We're talkinh Kirk H. level now.

So.. Long time no see guys, hope all is well. I know most of you guys dont like Battles but i'll ask anyway. Which songs do you still listen from the album, or any of them grew on you?

 

[DE4life]

The End is the only song I listen to at all. I've forgotten what most of the others even sound like.
