Kids who say that about once-awesome bands like In Flames, Sepultura, or Metallica have never really listened to the old material.


I thought you liked The Crown, they're pretty br00t3l. You'll get to like heavier shit with time. Get Decapitated's "Nihility", Morbid Angel's "Covenant", and Deicide's "Legion" and "Serpents of the Light", they helped me make the transition from melodic DM to pure death metal. You definately won't like Suffocation now, but give it a year and you'll probably like them a lot.

Any song on The Jester Race would stomp on the new album.



DT would probably be way too emotional for me then, because that's the kind of lyrics that Anders writes. And the music of DT is already emotional, so it would be overboard to have Anders in the band. Btw, Mikael Stanne>Anders Friden. Maybe In Flames should re-recruit that vocalist that did the singing Black Ash Inheritance mini CD(just before The Jester Race, before Anders was recruited).

Edit: Btw, melodic death kiddies that also like Slayer will love modern Kreator.

Yeah, I do love The Crown, but they arn't as brutal as say, Behemoth and what not. Really rythmatic singing in most The Crowns stuff. They remind me alot of AtG.

DT kicks ass, Razor Fever for the win.

Nile is a bad ass Brutal Band though.
