”You think you had a choice but there’s no other way” is what he sings :D

These guys are grandfather's of melodic death metal. Insane talent

I never took time to listen to something like this but I loved it right away

Bro, In Flames in metal community are one of the top legendary. They are also pioneer of melodic death metal sound. Thanks for reaction. Subs are done, please make more metal reaction.

Welcome to Melodic Death Metal!

I'm almost 32, and Anders has been singing like this longer than I've been alive. He's got good technique and seems to take pretty good care of himself. I think he actually sounds better than ever before on this album. This group is one of the founding bands of melodic death metal. None of the members here are original members of the band, although Anders the lead singer and Bjorn the guitarist who didn't play the solo have been in since the early days. The other three are all pretty new to the band. For other great examples of this genre, check out Dark Tranquility, which is one of the other founding bands of this genre. I love all their music and couldn't really pick one song of theirs. Another great melodeath band is Insomnium, and their song "While We Sleep" is, in my opinion, the single best melodeath song I've heard. In Flames' founding guitarist Jesper Stromblad, along with three other longtime former members of In Flames and Dark Tranquility's singer Mikael Stanne (who also sang on In Flames' first album) recently started a new band called The Halo Effect, which really revived the classic 90s melodeath sound. Their songs "Shadowminds" or "Feel What I Believe" would be good to check out also.

Inflames = top... I'm waiting the concert in October

Welcome to Inflames! The guy doing the solo Chris Broderick. He’s amazing, formally from Megadeth - Super nice guy. If you want to visit more thrash Metal, please check out Kreator, Megadeth, Testament, Exodus, Slayer, Death Angel, Sepultura, Anthrax, Overkill & of course Metallica. That’s just the beginning! Enjoy the ride 🤘🇦🇺

Sweden’s finest. Been doing it for a long time. Can’t wait for the new album. You should check out Spiritbox next. Start with their song Blessed Be. I think you’ll enjoy it.

Great Reaction KAZ , love what you are building here…. COMMUNITY

More In Flames, more metal. 👍🏼

I think you nailed the message. #IFWT. Great reaction to my favorite metal band

Trivium - No way back, just through

In my opinion the whole album is warning lyrically. I think it's all about the happenings what's happening globally. Not just the wars, but also global warming etc.

As a guy that comes from hip hop such as yourself, I understand being hyper focused on the vocal aspect and lyrical content. I think you’d get more out of the harsh vocal styles of metal if you look at the vocals less so as a melodic vessel to deliver lyrics and more so as a percussive instrument, another texture. I think it’s worthwhile to consider that advice because some of the absolute and undeniably best and beautiful music out there is in metal, and even found a lot of times with bands that use primarily screaming vocals.

The immediate stank face 😂

Welcome to the rabbithole of melodic death metal!

I’d love to see your reaction to Parkway Drives, Darker Still

One thing i LOVE about In Flames is that, what you hear in this video(quality) is what they sound like live. I've seen them 7 times live now and I'm as blowed away as always.

For anyone wondering the song is about the desperation and frustration brought on by the chaotic dystopia of post-pandemic society

wow i was in dubai too and i cant wait to see your reaction of something that isnt in your alley

metalhead attracted

In flames is incredible. Pioneers of Swedish Melodic Death Metal.

In Flames was _the_ biggest metal band in the world when SOAD dropped their debut album. If you were around metal at that time, youve 100% heard this band. Maybe you didnt know it, but its almost impossible that you havnt 🤣

Caught me off guard man. Dope reaction. In Flames go hard damn

Welcome to the gods of Swedish melodic death metal. Anyhow if you’re into drums you should check out Trivium. They’re new drummer Alex Bent is absolutely insane.

5:27 I love how you just automatically do metalface. Its proof: heavy ass riffs just do that to a person. 100% of the time.

Good vocals always help!! My favorite metal is Swedish death metal which Inflames falls under along with Soilwork and Scar symmetry!! What really brings home the power and energy to metal is double bass drumming. Everyone, no matter what genre, can relate to a drum beat if hit right, giving that pop and life to a song! Metal drumming also draws from jazz influences, amongst other things, which creates technical masterpieces!! Queue the guitarists hate lol Anders Friden has been a beast since the late 80's!!

That solo was crazy haha

Only 30+ years of material left to check out, not to mention that melodeath is chock-ful of awesome, awesome bands. Just recently getting into In Flames and melodeath myself and it's like the ultimate metal candyshop. Soilwork got to me first (insane mix of harsh and clean vocals), but there's so much more. Enjoy!

I treat dirty vocals as just another instrument when listening, I don't really care what is being said I just like the sound.

Now if you want to see crazy shit on the drums look up "bleed" by meshuggah. That song took their drummer 6 months to be able to play

The lead guitarist is Chris Broderick, ex Megadeth. Amazing guitar player, college degree in classical guitar

Their album Clayman is a huge influence on what became modern metal production wise. People are still chasing that guitar tone. Bullet Ride and Pinball Map are favorites of mine if you want something more of them to react to. An even older classic tune is Artifacts of the Black Rain and that one is really, really good.

Fantastic! Top 5 in the world. Björn

For a more interesting visual video - Foregone Part 2. It was just recently released, part of this same upcoming album. Now's the time to make an impression video :) Looking forward to it!

React to colony if you want some of their OG stuff that's still digestable to a new ear

My brother. The word is Groove

It's so refreshing to hear someone who listens to hip hop and rap appreciate this genre of music, most people I know immediately say "How can you listen to this, it's just noise!". So, thanks for being open-minded! And thhe whole new album, Foregone, is Anders being sick and tired and slightly angry at the world during and after the pandemic and the war between Russia and Ukraine. He feels that we, as humans, are still as disrespectful as we were before 2020. And also, that he, and the rest of the band, wasn't able to tour for 3 years. He felt as he almost took us fans for granted and that "They'll always be there", but he had an eye-opener and are even more thankful for being able to tour the world and meet the fans again. Also, the growling/screaming is years of practice, most metal singers these days have talked to a voice coach to not strain their vocal cords anymore. There is a wrong way and a right way.

"I stopped when this new age shit came out." Yet In Flames is older than all the bands you listed being officially started in 1990.

As an In Flames fan I am going to say "react to more In Flames!!" :)

Most metal vocalists are insanely talented! To be able to go from growls, or harsh to clean is so complex! These guys are fire. Another stupid good melodic death metal band is Orbit Culture!! They just dropped a new song from the up coming album August 18th release of "decent" you should check out "From the Inside".....you wont regret going down the Metal Rabbit Hole!!!

Props man Great réaction!!! 🤟🤟😜

I got into in flames back in 2005-06. But I like all kinds but mostly power metal but I do like melodic death metal and occasionally something like cannibal corpse 😅😅😅.but yeah I can go from like Nightwish to like children of bodom then switch to something like Big Pun. I'm skitzo like that with my music selections😅😅😅

You have to pull up the lyrics with these hardcore vocal songs. You'll hear the word when you read along.

I love in flames, they have been out for over 30 years and still going strong. And I think you should check out Save Me by In Flames

this album is far more metalcore to me...which they pioneered

Try slaughter to prevail - demolisher And next.. Lorba Shore - Cursed to die

state of slow decay is another song off this record that has a video. If you want to watch a drum showcase for a psycho metal drummer you could check out an infant annihilator drum playthrough.

In Flames is older than System of a Down by a handful of years.

Great to se In Flames on your KZfaql! I would like to see you react to Ice-T

music from is a journey

The Kings of MeloDeath, IN FLAMES WE TRUST! Hey try listening to E-Town Concrete bruh, maybe that'll blow you away, "Mandibles" or "So Many Nights" are my suggestions from them for you to listen to. Peace!

The song is about the great reset/ new world order

You should check out Demon Hunter - Devotion

Hi, enjoyed your reaction to this amazing band. I have a great suggestion for you, Swedish rapper Xersize with Scars. A strong video with amazing lyrics describing anxiety and depression in a way thats gonna make you cry. And there are so many oeople fighting with this, and these lyrics are so point on. Hope to se you check him out 😀👍🇸🇪

It's hard for everyone to make out the growl/scream lyrics. Don't put yourself down for that. It's fine. It'll get a bit easier, but they're like that for a reason.

listen to popular monster by Falling to reverse! you'll love it i'm sure

I Really Hope You See This Comment! 😃 If you want really good hip hop, check out Swedens by far best hiphop/rap group "Looptroop rockers" 👏 I would suggest: 1. Don't hate the player 2. Long arm of the law 3. Fort Europa Bonustrack (!) Promoe (the mainrapper in Looptroop rockers) These walls don't lie

please react to in flames - the hive

Great reaction 👊 Can you check out "Popular Monster" by Falling in Reverse. I'll bet you will digg it. Rap/metal😎

I used to like rap but got bored fast and went back to metal.
