Later In Flames blows

Later In Flames blows, while early In Flames is a huge meh-fest

Fixed.

You need to awaken the jester within

edit: or get some taste

k, /agree to disagree

Hey guys, what is dark metal?.. I mean, - its features.

 

[Thoth-Amon]

Hmmm... the best Dimmu album is "For All Tid" and.. that's it. Really.

I thought that one sucked also. Stormblast was much more atmospheric and tuneful.

IMO,
metal that is not slow enough to be doom, not treny enough to be goth, something like.........Dark Lunacy.....maybe

(Later) Carcass is more Death'n'roll and they do not match the melodic POWER of In Flames in any era.

Swansong maybe; Choice cuts with the new songs for sure, I'd agree with that. Heartwork defintely is not. It's a very agressive album, and the riffs, oh baby the riffs

I certainly wouldn't be comparing In Flames with Carcass at all man.

Heartwork is a great album but you can almost sense some band tension. I don't think they really pushed it as much as they could have. In Flames lunar strain and suberranean are good but it took those albums for the jester race and whoracle. In the field of melodic death those two albums are perfected. Carcass never got to perfect what they started doing with heartwork. There is some major mistakes imo, but yeah the album is great.

I agree, they are very different bands

Oh, I see...
Thanks

Oh, I see...
Thanks

Have you heard Rapture (Fin), if not then they are highly recommended in that style.

 

[~Neurotica]

I heard about them, but not their music. Ok, I'll get them =)

 

[metal_wrath]

Cheers. I am currently listening to their latest album 'The Silent Stage' which would be a good start, out of their three albums

 

[Slayed Necros]

I agree with the In Flames haters. The Jester Race is plain weak, and I find all their previous efforts to be quite lackluster too.

Unanimated, Eucharist and At the Gates (at their respective peaks) are all much better examples of melodic death metal.

Carcass never perfected anything, they simply invented goregrind and modern melodic death metal. They evolved way too fast to perfect anything, they simply went on creating an almost entirely new and original sound with each album.

Those bands are all good, but I don't find any of them to be as emotionally poignant as TJR-era In Flames...

 

[Slayed Necros]

Fair enough.

Listen to more Luciferion! Preferably Demonication!

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

I like Demonication, but I actually probably like The Apostate even more (though it technicall contains most/all of Demonication. The Apostate is really good symphonic death metal; something you don't see much, if at all.
