As an aside, that's the second reference so far to "Mother Time" as opposed to Father Time and Mother Nature. Wonder if that's intentional or just Anders mixing it up.
New album Foregone out February 2023
- Thread starter TheJestersDoor
- Start date
Final one - 'In the Dark'
Worst pre-chorus In Flames have ever put out, followed by one of the best choruses!, absolutely fantastic and hits all the right spots for me.
Turns out 'In the Dark' is today's 'V' teaser (you can tell the riff towards the last part of the clip)
Again, I think most people here will hate this but I really dig it! - Cynosure however, has to be my fav of all the three mini leaks so far.

Lol yeah, that's exactly why I didn't use IRC much, it was fucking tedious.
I think any of us who were teenagers back then basically wasted the internet by using it for porn and bullshit like msn messenger, AOL messenger, yahoo messenger and yahoo poolgood times.
Yeah, all of the above. Played a lot of Yahoo pool. I used Napster a little bit but not much. There was a program called Scour that I used sometimes. Limewire, KaZaa, etc. Many viruses.
Cynosure does sound interesting. I was getting a Tool vibe at first (which isn’t a good thing for me personally). I’m kind of surprised a song like this wasn’t released as one of the 300 singles they put out early.
I'm going to assume you're taking a sarcastic approach on this, not sure where all this aggression is stemming from my man music is all about subjectivity.
What rocks my boat doesn't necessarily have to rock yours.
In the Dark sounds a bit like Battles and I, the Mask fucked and this is the offspring.
Never heard of Scour... but yeah, I downloaded significant amounts of early IF from WinMX and Kazaa one song at a time. Moonshield, Jester Script Transfigured and OFTW were sent to me by some girl over AIM. I can remember another girl I knew in the States had a really fast connection compared to me, so I used to ask her to download albums or songs for me, and send them to me directly over AIM as it'd be quicker and more reliable than me doing it myself. Nowadays there's really no such thing... I mean, closest equivilent is WhatsApp and I don't think I've ever sent a full mp3 over that. Everyone has Spotify or something similar, even my gf, who's older than me, is baffled that I still download and store mp3s. Sad times.
Ciko is being weirdly aggressive recently... must be his time of the month or something.

I'm a big fan of Dead Eyes from an instrumental standpoint and this illustrates why.
Both samples of Bleeding Out and Cynosure sound pretty meh to me and dangerously close to ITM territory. Reserving judgment until I hear the full songs.
On the other hand, In the Dark sounds very good to me... I said earlier that the snippet of Bleeding Out teased on their IG page sounded a lot like Korn, which kind of works for me because I used to enjoy them and still do to an extent. That prechorus of In the Dark is very Korn.
I was being genuine actually, I love this song and had really big hype. Sorry If u misunderstand it.
I'm actually one of the Anders fanboy here so no surprise you took it offensively

The guitar leads in In the Dark are like, literally Scandinavian folk music lmao. As routine as a lot of this sounds to us, I had to take a step back and realize that it's technically as close to classic In Flames melodies as you'll get.
I texted a guy on Instagram who got the album early and asked him to send me a couple of snippets
- super kind of him - I didn't wanna ask for more cause I want at least some of the songs to be a surpriseSo far, so good for me on the three of them. I think Anders' harsh vocals are really hooking me in, every time I've heard them I've felt like this is the most he's growled on a record since the "Big 4". That feels significant to me. If it's reflective of the end product, it might be one of my favourite IF albums.

Cynosure sounds like passenger and that has me so excited as I love that project. The other 2 sound... Okay so far. Slightly dissapointed by in the dark as that's one that based on descriptions I was most looking forward to

Instrumentally I'm liking what I'm hearing from the album so far. The vocal melodies are what have me on the fence. Sometimes they work for me (Meet Your Maker, In the Dark) and sometimes they feel like they make the song a bit too, for lack of a better word, "American" or "SiriusXM Octane" (Bleeding Out, Cynosure). That's what killed Battles and ITM for me -- a lot of the vocal lines sound like the typical soulless shit you hear on hard rock radio. I don't think they had this problem before Battles.
State of Slow Decay's chorus is weird to me. It sounds very generic, but it has the same notes as the main riff of Dark Tranquillity's "Freecard," just arranged differently. If you had a lead guitar playing those vocal lines instead, it would probably work better. I think it's the vocal layering that's bothering me.

Turns out that if you google, you can already find the lyrics to the unreleased songs. They seem legit based on the snippets.
IN THE DARK
It seems so real when you whisper
Just like holding down your breath
We’re slowly dying
So how do we solve this without regrets?
This is a war and no one will win it
This is a war and no one will win it
We have to fight through the shadows
I feel we’ve lost the spark
Ignite the dampened spirits
And build a brand new arc
Countless voices in the dark
Speak of the end that isn’t far
The pain, the rage, our scars
Countless voices in the dark
We will burn in the fire
We will be branded in flames
We will have to rise from the ashes
From the fires of our own mistakes
CYNOSURE
A constant struggle
Lay your hands on me
I am nothing
I am the space in-between
Wrestle the demons
Thorns in my side
I am the pain
I am the blame
I feel paranoid
Are you a prophet?
I am the broken
I am the wound
Who’s at the wheel?
Say a word, say anything, I will be healed
Who’s at the wheel?
Say a word, say something that will make it real
Guilty of nothing
Who’s left to blame?
I am the future
I am the dream
No more holding down
I prevail
I am the consequence
I am everything
BLEEDING OUT
Mother time please be gentle
I need to figure this out
It’s not black or white
I see colors what is that about?
Caught a glimpse of the end
It’s not pretty, no one will win
My last breathe
You got me on my knees
I’m bleeding out
The darkest days
But it seems it’s not enough
I’m bleeding out
I’m the desolate
The one that doesn’t want to exist
Still I deserve the answer
For the time that you create
No such thing as a promised land
This is it, dive right in
The brain is such a wonderful thing
No one knows what life will bring
PURE LIGHT OF THE MIND
A perfect storm in a turbulent time
I know my days are numbered
But life seems to end up right
You by my side, my guiding light
Wave goodbye with tearful eyes
Wait for me I won’t be long
I wanna tell you before I die
I walked the mile and I’d do it again
The darkness that became me
You’re reason I’m still breathing
I walked the mile and I’d do it again
When I was about to breakdown
You took the car heading down south
Dim the Lights (I’m) Going to Panic
It’s settled, this is forever
Take away my pain
Take away my sorrow
Save me from tomorrow
SAVE ME!!!!
A DIALOGUE IN B FLAT MINOR
Can you see the madness or do I hide it all too well?
Ask the right question, you will have a show and tell
I see spiders crawling up the wall
It’s only a matter of time
I loose all sense of control
All the clowns they look the same
Afraid I’m gonna suffocate
Have I gone insane?
Am I the devil’s bait?
Give me the strength to fly away
Don’t recognize this place, I think I derailed
There’s a ghost in my head I fight everyday
And sometimes he gets his way
I’m stuck in a loop, trying to feel
I’m hearing him speak so I know that it’s real
I feel like I’m being erased
Can’t explain the way I feel
All you see is me breathing fire
Can’t explain so you’ll believe
I can’t see how things will change
Will those feelings ever fade?
END THE TRANSMISSION
Close your eyes
What do you see?
The ashes of a place
Down on its knees
The world we knew has gone astray
We are the cancer, you and I
Choose your side, there are no winners
Hell is overcrowded and heaven is full of sinners
We got to end the transmission
Nothing makes sense and we’re running out of graves
We go to end the transmission
Nothing makes sense and no one is listening
A new clean slate, it won’t be happening
This is the one, so let us begin
We are but empty vessels with no ambition
This is a tomb and we are buried alive
We swallowed the spit and lived in denial
The devil has done his deed
Fed our egos and made us bleed
Are all gods on the sidelines?
Passivity is not what the world needs

I remembered where I've heard that In the Dark guitar lead before. It's the intro of this song.
Not note for note, but I was like "damn, where have I heard that."
