In general Dark Tranquillity made the better job musically til nowdays. Cause they never left their Melodic Death Metal roots behind. In Flames changed immense. They are Pop Rock/ Pop Metal now. But In Flames is still my favourite band cause their first 5 albums are fuckin pure brilliance (Lunar Strain, Jester Race, Whoracle, Colony and Clayman). On Reroute To Remain they changed their sound extremely. It almost sounds like Nu Metal but its also a good album. But after then....
reroute is still a good album but yeah they never soldout just chenged there style., after reroute they kinda sold out. i forgot about lunar strain yeah that album is amazing!!
i got bored of " in fames are sellouts" or "in flames got imo" i can t say the old albums are the best but still in flames continue to evovle and make good albums and i don t care if it will be death melodic (still more preferable) or metalcore since the music quality is always perfect....
The lead singer for skydancer is Anders Fridén, after skydancer he went on the be the lead singer of "In Flames", another Swedish melodic death metal band. The lead singer for Dark Tranquillity is now Mikael Stanne, and he is soooo much better.
Lunar Strain, Jester Race and Whoracle are the only In Flames album I liked. At the Gates did a wise choice and disbanded when they were at the top of their career. Slaughter of the Soul in 1995 and then they quit. Only Hypocrisy was good enough to make it till' 21st century. Their entire discography of 90's are the best from them. Their albums now are shit. It's too melodic for my taste.. they have lost their aggression.
@TheGoldenPS1 I think Colony and Clayman are both good as well, they got mainstream with Reroute. If Anders would have kept Jester Race vocals all along it would have been way better.
@InterpolFL I agree fully that Anders should have kept his Jester Race vocals but I think he was losing his edge on keeping it harsh and heavy. I mean hes not bad now a days (he has a VERY unique sound) but the style changed so much, it's so sad to even recognize In Flames as Melo-death
@Metalmania84 i don't understand understand why you post so many dark tranquility videos. I would think it would be to spread the glory of the first dark tranquility album. but then you go and post negative comments about dt ripping off another band. that makes me sick.
@Metalmania84 first of all how did they rip off iron maiden because they had hguitar harmonies? oooh big rip off. who else do you think they ripped off?
@Metalmania84 The intent of melodic death metal was to blend the melodic and harmonic sensibility of NWOBHM bands like Judas Priest and Iron Maiden with the aggression of death metal bands like Death, Possessed, and Morbid Angel, so yeah, you would notice some Iron Maiden INFLUENCE, but not necessarily ripping off.
@Metalmania84 I don't hear anything in the song I would consider a "rip off" of that song, no. Dark Tranquility, and other bands in that genre, were UNDOUBTEDLY influenced by Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, but I have never heard a riff of their's that just screamed "RIP OFF," at me *shrug*
yep Anders from in flames sings on this one, don't hear any black metal here tho, death metal with a shitload of iron maiden worhsipping riffs and death metal style tormented vocals
Pardon my misconception. It reminds me a lot of a black metal band I heard so I figured it was in the genre. But then again that same band could be considered viking metal so nvm I guess lol. What exactly are they?
Anders has never done any Black Metal work, but when his vocals were this great i do hear a slight black metal style in them now that you brought it up

Yes. Anders Friden just did vocals for the first Dark Tranquillity album.
And Mikael Stanne just did vocals for the first In Flames album.
Then the singers changed the band and both started a Melodic Death Metal career....

Scar Symmetry was pretty legit melodeath in their first two albums but have now shifted towards melodic metal in general.
As I Lay Dying is metalcore yeah but if your an idiot and don't pay attention to metal you could confuse them for something like In Flames.
