New album Foregone out February 2023
- Thread starter TheJestersDoor
- Start date
I imagine it went something like
Anders: Hey guys, we're making a little documentary.
Broderick: Oh, like The Halo Effect did?
Anders: Who? -angry stare-
Bjorn: -whispers- We aren't allowed to mention that band, remember?
Broderick: Oh, haha, yeah. Sorry boss. I'm going to go and play some solos now.
Bjorn: So, Anders, I was thinking, maybe I could do some interview parts too...
Anders: No. You'll be in some of the footage. I'll do all the talking.
Bjorn: Oh, okay
Bryce: LET'S SLAM SOME TEQUILAS BRO, FUCK THE DEMOCRATS
Tanner: -runs around doing shadow boxing-
Bjorn: -to himself- I miss the others.
Anders: What?
Bjorn: Nothing, I didn't say anything... hahaha...

Leinad was Daniel's Gollum-like alter ego during the ASOP recording sessions.

December Flower, live from yesterday at Dalhalla Brinner (starts at 1:50):
Nice to hear Broderick shredding away there. Is that the first time they've played the song with the solo?
Anders' voice is sounding pretty strained, but he does the track justice enough. Doesn't seem to have been able to sustain those really deep growls he was doing pre-pandemic though.

Had a quick look at setlist.fm and it claims it's the first time they've performed December Flower since the end of 1996. Nothing else too crazy there, although they did apparently play Come Clarity for the first time since 2018 and Trigger for the first time since 2017. Not sure why Trigger would have had such a long absence. The consequence of putting out dozens of shittier songs that they are obligated to play live because they're new, I guess.

Damn, our boy Grayfox is now president of the Battles fanclub 
make us proud bro.
It's possible, although they play a lot of one-offs at this show. Could also be like Stand Ablaze where they play it for a few shows then drop it. Would be very cool if they did keep it on the set, but I'm guessing it'll be pushed out by the significantly less interesting 4gone stuff.

Seeing that song live + the solo warms my heart. I like that Chris put his own flourishes on it, even if it sounded strange to me after only hearing the studio version for the past 20 years.
@Grayfox - What is it about Battles that makes it so good? I've always felt that it might be the greatest In Flames album of all time, but I can't put my finger on as to why.
EDIT: lmao, for some reason I thought @Pallbearer was the one who made that bet and that his post was self-referential.
Sorry dude

Ah great.
Alright guys, I have been harboring a deep, dark secret for quite some time now. I’ve been very ashamed about it but it’s time to come clean. Battles is my favorite In Flames album. It is better than the Jester Race, Whoracle, Colony and Clayman… put together. That’s how good it is. Here Until Forever is a modern masterpiece, The Truth makes me want to dance and Like Sand could be the best In Flames song of all time. If not, then In My Room certainly is. The production and mix job on this record is CLEAN. Not since Metallica’s “Black Album” has music sounded so good. Battles is just the best.
Also, I’m convinced Bjorn lurks on this board and did this on purpose.

I do not like what you said there, but I will respect it, I guess.

December Flower sticks out like a sore thumb on that setlist, but damn is it cool to see it being played live after almost 30 years. And it actually sounded pretty good too. I still find it weird that they aren't playing more songs from Foregone. I figured this would be the place where they would play a few more songs from their newest album but they didn't. They threw in End the Transmission, but they had already played it a few times before. It's interesting because usually when In Flames puts out a new album, they promote the absolute hell out of it and that doesn't seem to be happening here.
Also, Battles is the best album ever and I hope next year at Dalhalla, they play it in it's entirety. Twice.

I like that you edited this but still tagged the wrong person, lmao. User Grayfox is going to be like what does this have to do with me? With that said he's only posted twice and hasn't visited since 2013, so will probably never see the notification.

Haha, I realized as I was finishing editing that post that Grayfox isn't "The Grayfox", but I figured that The Grayfox posts here frequently enough that it wouldn't really matter. Had no idea "Grayfox" was a separate person lmao
