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... (Submit New In Flames Lyrics) (Submit New In Flames Lyrics) Review about In Flames Probably the best In Flames song since 2000...which isn't saying much. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song My Sweet Shadow performed by In Flames In my opinion this song represents a lost opportunity for In Flames. The synth melody used throughout the song is, to be fair, a pretty cool melody...but in typical In Flames fashion they chose to play it 1000 times over on a synth when it really would've sounded better as a guitar riff. Friden's vocals are definitely NOT what they used to be. The powerful growls of the old days are clearly long gone, replaced here by a harsh grating shriek and a hoarse, weak-sounding scream in some places. The soft vocal passages sound retarded beyond all belief. Anders is the kind of guy who should really not be doing spoken or clean vocals at any point, he sounds like a twelve-year-old with nasal congestion whenever he speaks or sings. To say this is a powerful vocal performance is foolish. It's weak. Drums -- nothing to complain about; as is typical for most In Flames songs, the drums don't really stand out as anything great but also aren't nearly as offensive as the other parts of the song. So, musically speaking this song is obviously lacking in many departments (as are all post-Clayman In Flames songs); however, it is still a somewhat catchy tune that manages to build some emotional energy. It was worth listening to the first couple times, but really, there are at least two dozen In Flames tracks that rank above this mediocre piece of synth-rock. Side-note: These lyrics are quite powerful and a pleasure to read; it's only a shame that Friden cannot give them justice in the song. Summary: If you want to listen to a catchy alternative song a couple times, yeah, give this one a look; if you are into real melodic metal, this IS NOT IT and there are other tracks which will serve you better. One of my favorite Metal albums | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the album Reroute to Remain performed by In Flames The entire album connects with me. I love the guitar riffs, drums, and synth in all of the songs and Anders does an amazing job as always on vocals. The lyrics of each song apepals to me, makes me feel something. If only every album could hit home on such a level that this album does. In flames=awsum | Reviewer: Bernard ------ About the song Evil In A Closet performed by In Flames Everyone that doesnt care about how deep in flames are, has no meaning in life, the band has the most awsum feel about it and i love the guitaring,drums,the voice, but mostly the lyrics, always wanting to figure out what the lyrics mean, in flames are the greatest,deepest band ever, love them. Wow... | Reviewer: VeritasAmor ------ About the song The Chosen Pessimist performed by In Flames I started listening to In Flames by a deal that I made with my ex. I went on a whim and didn't know if I would like them as much as I like HIM, but I was VERY surprised. I am now IN LOVE with In Flames. Every song is put together so well, and Anders is a hell of a song writer, and singer. This song hit me so hard I teared up. I'm a fan for life now. random observation | Reviewer: zachary ------ About the song Free Fall performed by In Flames It almost sounds like he is saying "the one eye above" the way he stresses "for what i am punished". He also follows this up with a statement about repentance which can be interpreted as him talking about a deity or the concept of a deity. Is this a reference to Horus/Ra? Look on your dollar bill. "the one eye above" Masonic symbolism is replete throughout Open your mind : ) Melodeath | Reviewer: ella ------ About the song Only For The Weak performed by In Flames to Curnow: it was At the Gates, Dark Trangility and In Flames that created the genre Melodic death metal aka Gothenburg metal. They were all bands from Gothenburg, Sweden. So it was not In Flames alone that were the creators of the genre. That was all I wanted to say. Oh, I nearly forgot to say that In Flames pwns! the last sentence is a bit random, but true. IMO Better | Reviewer: Datank ------ About the song Take This Life performed by In Flames To the reviewer of "Growing on me everyday" try listening to their album Colony. IMO Colony is their best work. Great guitar riffs, hard fast drumming, low and high screams (Anders hitting his range) melodic, and just awesome. Everything from In Flames is awesome, but I think Colony is by far their best work. aaargh | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Bullet Ride performed by In Flames omfg this song is the perfect fusion of the powerful old In Flames (which had many many great songs) and the more melodic new in flames (which have gotten just a tiny bit too soft in the last time, but nevertheless have some quite good songs) In Flames We Trust explanation | Reviewer: METALHEADBELGIUM ------ About the song Dawn Of A New Day performed by In Flames Very simple, he's singing about a new stage in his life. He wont be like before again "thoughts of yesterday forgotte, I like the way this new skin feels" then against the grain (against whats supposed to happen, usually) against the odds (against the chances) He will be better and he won't fall again. Oh yeah and he thought he'd nice be like the others, eventually he will be, as the others play with luck to choose their future :D | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Touch Of Red performed by In Flames "I think this song is about a man's struggle within himself. He wants to break out of his shell and become all he can be, but his inner conscience won't allow it. ''Fear - there's a way out''- He wants to get rid of his doubts and insecurities but he fears not getting the results he wants. ''Once again I feel the quicksand Swallow me, tonight I won't struggle''- He does'nt even want to attempt to try to improve his life because his inner conscience has the best of him and has taken him over. This is pretty much my life story. If I had to pick a theme song this would be it. I've always been shy and it's so difficult to talk to people I don't know, but this song will help me through it." This song was originally intended as an alcohol problem as in lyrically intended, but you have a point it also may stand for that if you put it that way AWESOME SONG | Reviewer: DESI ------ About the song Come Clarity performed by In Flames This song has very deep emotions. after listening to it and reading the lyrics fully, it sounds to me like a person who is deep into drugs and is always high and living in dreams and not reality and he needs help to be led out of the darkness and pain he is feeling. he needs to be brought to a world that is true and something he is concious for. in a dream you are not concious so thats why he does not want to live in a dream anymore. he needs to be awakened and have something more to live for. One of their best... | Reviewer: ChrisW ------ About the song Cloud Connected performed by In Flames I love this song, it's my fav by In Flames, even if it is one of their oldest, it certainly is one of their best. I'm working on a cover for this song to do for Battle of the Bands this year at my school. In Flames We Trust - Westminster, CO, USA Its human nature | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Take This Life performed by In Flames Im srry, but your plights of justice go unanswered. if people didnt fight over stupid things, we wouldnt have wars, if we didnt have wars, then we would not have been independent, if we weren't independent, we would be sipping stale tea right now. Fighting over something stupid is nature to humans. It's part of the balance. If there were no wars, then the balance would be thrown off. i don't like wars or anything, its just that if we had no wars, we would be screwed. am I the evil in her closet? | Reviewer: Ashido ------ About the song Evil In A Closet performed by In Flames I totaly agree with 'tehepix hax0r'. I've recently fell in love with the girl of my dreams (people told me stuff like 'move on' or 'get over it, you'll find you're soulmate' but this is the perfect girl to me) but she already got a boyfriend and that eats me. It's really killing me but I can't stand to see her cry, meaning there is nothing I can do. Even if I could, there is no way I would drive them appart, sure he doesn't deserve her, but on the other hand, I doubt I deserve her. The only wis that I have is that one day we'll be together and happy. I've started to reconize my emotions in the lyrics of In Flames songs, and that helps, on some way. I also feel like I could write a bunch of deep lyrics like these right now, we'll see, maybe I will. Anyway, this song is great, tells me exacly how I feel. Who cares ?? | Reviewer: Seph J ------ About the song Trigger performed by In Flames The song is good just listen to it, there's no reason to argue about genres and what the writer is trying to say. Don't fight each other in public claiming who's right, personally I don't care. Keep you're own comments at home. kitty | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Take This Life performed by In Flames In case anyone noticed, this conversaition got really stupid. Who cares if you can play guitar hero, wohoo, you can press buttons, even monkeys can do that. OMG! you can play a real guitar, (sarcasm) so... That is not what matters, nor it is where one heard it, I might have heard it first in GH3, might have heard it elsewhere. Who cares, right! So why am I saying this... because it makes me sick to see people acting like this. Are we animals... (wait) don't answer that one ( we are) The last thing we need is for a bunch of wise asses to get together, and fight useless fights over something nobody really cares about. Grow up peole! in flames | Reviewer: miley cyrus ------ About the song Like You Better Dead performed by In Flames Lyrics are not wierd. These are just great, unbelieveable. Maybe i get it in my own way, but still! I realy like this song! One of many perfect I.F songs! This is my opinion. Again - job well done! And also with guitars, drums, ....everything! Just GREAT! Awesome song | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Take This Life performed by In Flames I knew about in flames before GH3, but I think that it's good, people's horizons in music being broadened by any means. It doesn't matter where you first heard it, if you like it, then you're awesome in my opinion. Long live the metal. :) wtf | Reviewer: Lyssa ------ About the song Evil In A Closet performed by In Flames I realy don't think it's a love song,if itwasIwouldn't listan that piece of shit. IT2s more about hatredy and the desire to run away, tu be the evil ina closet or to hvae one, it'i make you feel better and prevent you to suicide or to kill somebody.( i wish they could prevent addiction to drugs but to see more evils in a closet you have to take one more shot...) Wow | Reviewer: Pwney ------ About the song Metaphor performed by In Flames I don't understand people who dislike this song just because it doesn't really fit with the usual type of music In Flames play. Opposite it shows the amazing talent and diversity of this group... Enjoy the song for itself, not for who is the autor.
