WOW what a show!!!
I haven't seen the guys live since a festival waaaayyyyy too long ago, and it was so special being right at the front in an intimate venue. One of the best shows I've ever been to ❤️🤘
JROD058 made our GOAT song list as a Youtube Music playlist for those interested.
I remember not loving this album upon its release back in 2014. Relistening to this today, cover to cover, I really enjoyed it. This is not a typical IF album. If I had to make a comparison it’s like Trivium’s Silence in the Snow; it’s a departure from the typical you expect.
To give people a break from shitting on Battles too relentlessly today, here's a bonus one:
What is your desert island In Flames song? The one you think is the true GOAT?
I'll add a second slide to the final day that includes everyone's picks. Might make a cool Spotify playlist?
I thought I'd list them all. The coolest part of posting these categories this summer has been the massive variety of songs people post. Testament to how deep the IF catalogue is.
A couple interesting things:
Clayman had 10/12 songs on people's GOAT list (highest pecentage)
Siren Charms had 0.

Feel free to add some more these were just off the top of my head 🤣🥳

Linked are two live versions of Behind Space...one from 1999 and one from 2023.
I personally love how over the years Anders has transitioned away from the more *higher screams* to the *lower growls* 🥳 I think the super deep guttural growls work so well with their both their current sound and sound amazing with their classic MDM songs 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Thoughts from you guys?
Hey dudes,
Sorry if this has been asked before but I noticed In Flames has a very busy year with only a 1 month gap before the US tour with Trivium. I know they aren’t headlining so it’s not going to be exact same as it is now but what to expect? Will they shake it up completely in that 1 month break or keep the same set but cut out some songs?
Thanks brews 🤘🏻
Hey guys,
Does anyone here remember the Swedish band Divine Souls and their 2001 album Embodiment?
I recently rediscovered this album and it honestly cracks me up just how heavily it “borrows” from In Flames. Even the artwork looks like the Jester wandered onto the wrong album cover.
And I thought it could be fun to turn this into a little r/InFlames investigation: let’s try to identify which In Flames songs/riffs each track on Embodiment seems to be borrowing from.
Some of them are particularly funny because they don’t even seem to rip off just one song — they sound almost like mashups of riffs and ideas from several different In Flames tracks.
I’ll start:
1. Divine Souls – Perished → In Flames – Scorn
Perished is a massive Scorn rip-off to my ears, especially in the main riffing. There may very well be bits of other In Flames songs in there too.
Anyone familiar enough with both bands to help map out the rest of the album?
Let’s see if we can complete the whole thing, track by track.
In Flames appreciation post. In flames got me through the lowest of lows in my life. I’ve kind of stopped listening to them for some time and recently started bingeing their music again. The spark was still alive, and just needed a bit of time.
I made an Adirondack chair in shop class in high school and drew this some time shortly after that. I remember being the loner with no friends going to the CD store at lunch time to buy albums and listen to them sitting in front of my locker as people walked by and stared. I had this chair in my room and I would sit in it learning to play In Flames songs on guitar deep into the night. Some days I would just be weeping in this chair listening to their emotional song. Honestly don’t know where I’d be if I didn’t discover them.
First song I listened to was bullet ride and oh my God I love this song. It's amazing. I love how melodic and beautiful and pretty it is but I love his screaming cuz his screaming just brings energy of desperation and agony Like he's fighting a demon inside
I’ve tried looking this up and don’t know how no one else has ever mentioned this. There’s a really bad high pitched ringing in the background of every song on the jester race. It’s not what I’m using to listen to it, I’ve tried my car speaker, earbuds, headphones and phone speaker and it’s on all of it. I’ve also tried both Apple Music and YouTube and it still is on both. It makes it genuinely unlistenable which is a shame cause I’d probably really like this album if it wasn’t for that
