It was the year 1990, Jesper decided to take leave of the
band Ceremonial Oath, that he was currently in, together
with Anders Fridén and Anders Iwers (Tiamat)
He wanted to make music in a different direction, and he
teamed up with Johan Larsson and Glenn Ljungström to
form IN FLAMES. The gang made a demo and shipped it off to
Wrong Again records in order to get a record-deal, which
they did. The owner of the company enjoyed the music so
much that he immediately gave them a deal over the phone,
as they rang him up one night. The next day, they sat down
and wrote the album Lunar Strain, which was released some
time later, and became a big underground success. They had
some "in and out members" , and borrowed some from
different bands. People that have been a More...

Review about In Flames
My Bedtime Story... | Reviewer: TildeMerand
------ About the song Your Bedtime Story Is Scaring Everyone performed by In Flames
This Song... Whatever The Meaning... Helps Me Sleep At Night... I Put It On My System, Listen To The Aforementioned Tranquil Tune, An Drift Away...I Know Most Would Be Abruptly Awoken By 3:44, But Not I...Whatever I'm Dreaming, Follows The Music And Lyrics... I'm Weird, I Know.
In Flames Totally Inspires Me. Not To Be A Total Emo But To Look At Life In A Different Light... Obviously I Know None Of The Members Of In Flames Are Going To Look At This, But Regardless Keep Sending Me Your Love, In Flames.
Seriously, I'm In Love With You Guys.

------ About the song Take This Life performed by In Flames
What i find funny is how everyone thinks that In Flames got famous for being on Guitar Hero 3. That is false. They were famous and thats what got them ON the game in the first place. I have been a fan of In Flames for a several years now and been to a few of thier concerts. This is one of the best songs that the band has put out. If you dont like metal then heres my question to you. Why are you listening to it and why are you talking about it?
Awesome song! | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Episode 666 performed by In Flames
Awesome song... Perhaps a bit repetitive, but still so good ;) Gotta love In Flames.
Also, the new In Flames songs may speak of depression and suicide, but with a meaning behind it- its not just whining for the sake of it. Also, for instance, Take This Life isnt about suicide AT ALL. Its actually about overcoming problems in your life with the help of someone; to take a life and improve it, not take it from the person. Please, think before commenting.
Just one of those songs... | Reviewer: James
------ About the song Come Clarity performed by In Flames
This song is just one of those songs that hits you in such an odd way from all other songs. It's something we can relate to. It's something that everybody can interpret in their own way. It's a song that you can listen to for guidance, for counseling, for encouragement, and for hope. This song is truly a masterpiece that both holds emotion and creates emotion. I look to this song when I have nothing else to look to. And that's something in itself.
This song rocks | Reviewer: Michael Phelps
------ About the song Swim performed by In Flames
Im an olympic champion in swimming, and this song rocks. On a more serious note, I can't believe nobody has commented on this song. . . it is one of my favorites from Clayman, its fun to play, amazing live and on album :)
Only for the Weak by Ann | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Only For The Weak performed by In Flames
I love this song! I love heavy metal music, but I prefer that which I can understand and intelligent lyrics (megadeth) and melodic metal. I'm 50 so give me a break! I play electric bass (heavy metal) and if I listen to metal, I prefer that I understand the lyrics. I don't particularly care for barking and growling.

------ About the song Take This Life performed by In Flames
for someone who can't tell his @$$ from a hole in the ground let's hear your idea of metal then, because metal has many sounds, if every metal/death metal band was to sound the same then what would be the point of other bands man....also like the others said....you need to go look up the gothenberg sound....or just stfu and keep your stupid idiotic comments to yourself.....
as for the song, this is a good song specially for someone who can catch the inner meaning of it.
metaphor | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Metaphor performed by In Flames
About 2 nights ago, I laid in bed and listened to this song for the very first song. I didn't think it was In Flames at first.
But when Anders started to sing, I knew the lyrics right away. The song is so deep and I started to cry right away. I listened to it 3 times and my pillow was soaked wet. I really don't know what happened to me, but something entered my body and mind and it gave me a warm feeling and my tears just fell down. Tears of happiness. Later on I feeled relieved. Like a weight was lifted off my shoulder.
Wow
In flames rule | Reviewer: In Flames <3
------ About the song Crawl Through Knives performed by In Flames
<3 In Flames, this song is incredible. But still my favorite is Dark Signs at the minute. oh and bordes and shading.. and trigger. and whoracle... and Come Clarity.. oh who am i kidding, i can go on like this forever!
/Salute In Flames!
Corrections | Reviewer: Saku Salovaara
------ About the song Tilt performed by In Flames
I think there are some errors in the lyrics. I would write them like this:
You're waiting for a re-run,
But yesterday won't come.
Want to relive the moment,
But yesterday is gone.
So not DONE. I thinks Anders sings GONE.
And:
Hopes and prayers in pursuit of salvation,
Take a short cut, it only DEPENDS ON THE COST.
But as far as I remember,
There is nothing that will get back the days you lost.
Not "it only bends our cause". Right? Am I the only one who hears "T" at the end of the last word? Plus "cost" and "lost" they just sound good together, don't you think?
Yeah that's it. The rest of the song has been figured out pretty well. Cheers
Good, but In Flames still drooping | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song My Sweet Shadow performed by In Flames
I like this song, but I don´t agree that this is the better In Flames´ song, actually I think that In Flames is drooping since the album "Reroute to remain". I respect all the ways of thinking, but, I don't like the "New In Flames (Since Reroute to Remain, 2002)".
I think In Flames had got better songs, including music and lyrics in the old era (finished with post-clayman albums)... My favourite songs are Jotun, Suburban me, Embody the invisible, Jester script transfigured and Moonshield... in those songs I feel the power and the mysticism that In Flames lost... I miss the powerful growl vocals of Anders, the harmonized guitars and the surrealist lyrics of the old era.

------ About the song Take This Life performed by In Flames
That said 'listen to melodic'...Okay, shut your mouth. I hate douche bags like you that don't know shit about genres. In Flames was one of the PIONEERS of Melodic Death Metal/Melodic Metal. Period. It's called the Gothenberg Sound. Look it up. ;p
to the 'wtf' dude. | Reviewer: Jacob
------ About the song Take This Life performed by In Flames
Seriously...Shut the hell up. People like you that lack general knowledge for music, then bash a band about a genre they helped FORMED...are what form mainstream. =D. In Flames was one of the PIONEERS of Melodic Death Metal. Along with At the Gates. Don't believe me, look up the Gothenberg Sound, then come back and bash them about their genre. Ignorant prick. ;p
Hmmmm | Reviewer: Sy
------ About the song Dial 595-Escape performed by In Flames
Lyrics these days, particularly with metal songs like this're kinda arbitrary anyway. There're many ways these lyrics could be interperated. To me, they strike some kinda relevancy to relationship related discord. Either way, 'tis a cool song, I really like the crunchiness in the guitars in the chorus. (Although, I gotta admit, the mastering and production on this album was a bit thin in my personal oppinion... the EQ's out, it sounds a bit thin on most speakers!)
good | Reviewer: paul
------ About the song The Quiet Place performed by In Flames
I think this song is about your actions and the repercussions they have. For example, if you do something wrong, in front of no one but yourself, you are okay. no repercussions. If you mess up in front of people or your parents, then that emotion that follows you. I think that is what he is tapping into with this song. which would mean, the quite place, is the place where none of this would take place.
Good king in my own mind, would be the symbol of him releasing the emotion of feeling down, which he explains,"spinning further deeper" like people forcing him down like society does to you. A good king, would be society boasting you, to make you feel good, like a king.
passive vs aggressive
night vs day
open-minded vs judgmental
non- egotistical vs egotistical
he is showing the contrast between feeling down because of other people, and then feeling up because of yourself. Melody and heavy. Melodic Death Metal. two opposites, on the same spectrum. Love and Hate. Happy and Angry. Same emotion, different ends of the spectrum.
I mean of course this song could mean something else to any one else, however, what inspires in flames is their ability to take an idea and either:
A) Run with the idea and drive it into your head at full force with an aggressive song like "eraser" and tail off with beautiful bridge's and solo's to ease their force. but jump right back in and drive it into your brain.
B) Show the contrast between thinking one way, when aggressive they usually have quite a heavy instrumentals in the background, and then tail it off with passive open melodic rifts.
Pay attention to each and every single one of their songs intro's, it pretty much sums up the entire song without using any words. other than the occasional ballad they start off the song with a HEAVY rift that sums up what is going to be aggressive, and tail off with the melodic part. Then they increase the length of time each one runs for, and spice up each death metal rift, and each melodic rift.
A song like Coerced Coexistence the optimism would be,
I'll take you on a ride
as a part-owner to my pain
extremely brief, and not very optimistic, however still fits the formula, however, the melodic that follows after he says it explains why the optimism of the song might lyrically be short, but the instruments that follow it, explain why.
The trick I find is, pay attention to what he is saying, and then as soon as he stops saying what he is saying, keep going with it, don't stop listening, just because the instruments are doing the talking, that is when the real message of the songs are revealed, not while the lyrics are being sung, you can pin point each and every individual line, as though it was written like this and not as a paragraph. This is wrong though, and leads to confusion. You read the song as a paragraph, and listen to how he is reading it to you. The parts where he stops reading is when he is actually speaking to you. Its all about the rhetoric.

------ About the song Evil In A Closet performed by In Flames
I've been listening to In Flames since about oh I dunno 94? Ya know, when they came out with their first CD, and I'm so tired of reading stupid posts about OMG, I LOVE THIS SONG, IT REMINDS ME OF MY LOVE, blah blah blah. It's a god damn song and a damn good one at that. Stop freaking tainting it with your emo bullshit. This is a metal band, NOT EMO.
Very deep and amazing song | Reviewer: Jesse
------ About the song Free Fall performed by In Flames
This song does an amazing job reaching home. It describes the problems of having to change yourself to conform with society. I, at one point, let myself float around conforming before one night listening to this song it clicked. I starred deep into my own eyes through a mirror and woke up for the first time in years.
Oh My God!! | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song My Sweet Shadow performed by In Flames
When i First Heard This Song, I was totally lown away y the amazing music and even better singing - it has a mix of quiet, harmony metal, but with a twist of pure In Flames makes this my favourite In Flames song EVER!!!
Long Live In Flames =D
awesome | Reviewer: zeuz
------ About the song Take This Life performed by In Flames
In Flames is definitely one of my favorite bands, and this is definitely one of their best songs. I laugh at the guys who insist old In Flames is still the best. In Flames changed their musical style years ago, GET OVER IT! You're not special and your complaints won't change a thing.
I also laugh at the little weenies that think they're the shit because they're good at Guitar Hero. I mean, I'm pretty decent at it, but in reality I can play the guitar as well as a banana can.
