Back when they were still good: In Flames
In case you had forgotten, In Flames once sounded like this. Not bad is it? Now they sound like the ugly offspring of an orgy of awful bands and genres.
So, ok the quality of the live footage is absolutely abysmal, but there just isn’t any beating Old School In Flames (well maybe At The Gates…).
Friday Top 10: Shitty sellout songs
This week’s Friday Top 10 is all about those ridiculous ‘sell out’ songs. You know the ones; you have a band that YOU love, it’s YOUR band, and then all of a sudden, they release some bullshit single and every fucker suddenly likes them. Or sometimes bands just like to “broaden their horizons” and “explore new territories” – Read dumb their shit down for the masses or follow the current trend.
Now, I’m not looking to get into a debate about the definition of “sell out” or discuss the pros and cons of bands taking different paths, this is just a bit of fun. So make the jump, and have a laugh at some of these ridiculous songs. Or don’t, I still don’t get paid at the end of the week regardless.
In Flames Deliver Us a new song
In Flames, the band that were once great, and now aren’t so much, are ready to deliver us a new song (called Deliver Us I believe). during this weekend’s (May 6-8) edition of Full Metal Jackie‘s nationally syndicated radio show. In addition to this, the band’s guitarist, Björn Gelotte will also be interviewed on the program.
To see a full list of stations carrying the show and when it airs, go to FullMetalJackieRadio.com. Blabbermouth have all the relevant information, in case you still care about In Flames, and if you do still care, can I ask “why!?”
17 years ago seems so far away
17 years ago, Pantera’s Far Beyond Driven went to #1 on the US Billboard 200 charts. Currently on #1 on said charts is Adele and I have absolutely no idea who that is but I think it’s safe to say, they (or she?) aren’t metal (it’s worth noticing that the Foo Fighters are on #2 and I absolutely view that as a great thing).
17 years ago, even Kurt Cobain was blown away by the sheer amount of quality metal albums that were released that year. In the year of 1994, many great (and now legendary) albums were released. Make the jump to see the highlights of 1994.
In Flames reveal album cover and tracklisting
Boring post titles and page hits ftw! In Flames have revealed the tracklisting and the cover for their new album, Sounds of a Playground Passing. When I heard the album title, I thought two things: 1) emo; 2) Korn. And when I saw the album cover, I thought Korn again. Who gives a shit, as long as it doesn’t sound like them, right? Well, tell that to the 2004 In Flames fan.
Read on to see the tracklisting and the album cover.
