Melodic death metal band "In Flames" from Gothenburg,
Sweden, is considered to be a pioneer in the music scene and
have not let themselves or their fans down since first starting
out in 1990. In Flames started out as a side project from
Original band member Jesper Stromblad, who was in a death
metal act "Ceremonial Oath". He later created what
is now known as the most wanted band around the world. "In
Flames" was born and have released nine studio cds. "Lunar
Strain," (1994) "The Jester Race," (1996) "Whoracle," (1997)
"Colony," (1999) "Clayman," (2000) "Reroute to Remain," (2002),
"Soundtrack to Your Escape,"(2004) "Come Clarity," (2006)
and newest "A Sense Of Purpose." (2008)***
In Flames has come a long way from looking like a single
match in a darkened room to engulfing the entire area with
their powerful performances both on cd and in concert. The
band raised its profile by taking part in several tours in
06's "Sounds of the Underground," and this year's Gigatour
alongside Megadeath & Children Of Bodom. Touring and appearing
in music videos isn't all these metal stars are known for,
it's part of their life no doubt, but any artist that takes
part in what they've devoted their life to surely want to
catch that elusive dream of stardom. Keeping that magic alive
is a strong number one goal in anyone's life. "A Sense Of
Purpose," has brought "In Flames" to new ground
with fifteen tracks that sink their claws into you without
letting go.***
Their new release sounds much lighter when compared to
their previous works. "Come Clarity," from (2006) it had a
much edgier influence to me.The best tracks are "Delight And
Angers," "Move Through Me" and "Drenched In Fear." these songs
are the highlights that you will enjoy.
*** In a interview I spoke to some fans and asked them
for their thoughts about the band's music and their live appearances.
"Raymond Sanchez" had this to say about their concerts
"I think the cd sounds great, their live performance is a
thrilling experience". In concert "In Flame" is incendiary,
and their latest will ignite a your passion for the band and
the cd will leave you a burning desire to hear much more from
them.
