This is a classic example where the images and music (MOST OF ALL) say more than a thousand words!!!. Ladies & gentlemen, please give welcome to the kings of Melodic Death Metal!!!.
This album though rough may be always gives me a 'clear' mind. It needs some patience and after a few minutes it wins you! It's hard to express, but definitely one of the best albums of all time!
thesplage i found even subterranean and lunar strain differ. both influenced by black metal but subterranean has classical music elements and lunar strain has folk.
"Not this gay shit!" I went to your profile and saw french fries, a bunch of losers jumping on a couch and Jesus. That is the dictionary definition of gay shit, a link to your profile.
My second-favorite melodeath band after At The Gates. Stanne's voice is so expressive, love this band. I'm kinda tired of melodeath at the moment but I just have to reach for the classics like ATG, DT, old In Flames, Eucharist, etc. to be reminded why I liked it in the first place.
kalmah and insomnium are very nice yeah. alongside with mors principium est and dimension zero. if you want pioneers like DT, in flames is the best example.
@Cynicgods If your like me your not tired of melodic death but unpleased by the selection of music in the genre today after hearing MASTERPIECES like The Gallery, The Mind's I, The Jester Race, Whoracle, Terminal Spirit Disease, and Slaughter of the Soul.
WOOOOOWW thats a fucking masterpieceeeeee!!!!!DT all the way!!!In Flames were my favourite band in their old and glorious days but now...unforunately they are shittt!Dt\m/ \m/
i so agree. I was actually looking forward for their new album, as the mirror's truth and the demo version of abnegation was quite good. It turns out their new album is total crap.
In Flames dropped their pants and promptley took a massive, sloppy shit on their old fan base from about after Clayman (it started being hinted since Whoracle I reckon).
At least DT sound REMOTELY like their old and best stuff.
Agreed. They are a pioneering Melodic Death Metal band from the 'Gothenburg Scene'.
Lol @ odetoinsolence saying old In Flames had awesome black metal quality. So why are we talking about emocore In Flames on a Dark Tranquillity music video?
Zodijackyl Lights is a classic. Love this song, Dark Tranquillity has so many great songs. I LOVE SCANDINAVIAN METAL =D \m/
Cladinshadowz. I am well aware that In Flames is melodic metal. However, you can listen to some of their very old material - like Clad in Shadows from Lunar Strain & definitely hear that it has a bit of a black metal quality to it. That is my opinion anyway.
You people who think that the conversation should be limited to only the band in the video are ridiculous. People are going to CONVERSE & make references to other metal bands. Calling In Flames, "emocore" is damn stupid too.
I love every single In Flames album, problem with the new one is that there are good bits in there, and some of the songs are fantastic... but you can only hear that if you aren't expecting In Flamesy music.
thesplage, I go into every In Flames album expecting them to sound different every time. That's one of the things I like about them. I just think they could've done a little better on this one. One of my band mates loves it though & I believe he said it's his favorite album from them; so to each his own. (I own every In Flames album & will never stop buying them)
You say that, I personally think In Flames's style has changed just a little bit with each album. The only 2 discs they have released that I think sound exactly the same style wise are Lunar Strain and Subterranean.
The jester race and whoracle are also similar... But their sounds always changed because they modified their guitar/bass tuning. By example, now they're playing in Drop A, so their tones are lower than before. They add a lot of special effects that make new atmosphere too...
I have always thought Whoracle a more considered album than the Jester Race. The jester race was like a raw idea when they took melodeth and thought... aha look what we can do here. With Whoracle, they refined it more and put more mature concepts behind it. Well thats what i think anyway. Btw, they play in drop A# now, not drop A.
Projector is 1 of thier best but everyone has thier own Metal Opinion, it all depends if they like hardcore or softer shit, i love hardcore like Cannibal Corpse and Dying Fetus but i'd pick DT's albums Damage Done, Projector and Fiction as my top 3
yes but only if ur sticking by genre stereotype in which case bands like Bleeding Through and Atreyu are considered "hardcore". but truthfully death metal is the hardest form of metal, vocally and instrumentally.
The difference lays in when any of this bands starter their career. Also scene where it comes from.
Dark Tranquility started as part of the Melodic Death Metal scene.
In the same moment there is something like new wave of melodic death metal which came mainly from hardcore scene, bands such as Heaven Shall Burn and many others, very At the gatish I'd say.
This are considered metal core or just hard core-they take their sound from the Swedish death metal scene in the early 90's.
1.)say the name of the boy/girl u like 2 times 2.)now say the name of your bestfriend 5 times to urself 3.)now post this onto 5 videos and then press f8 and then ur crushes name will APPEAR ON THE SCREEN
DEFINITLY one of my favorite songs & videos! And just imagine, all these masterpeice songs wouldn't be here without the band and all their decisions and musical progression...did you clue in yet? or are some of you still throwing hate? heh
Hmm, not a bad song, but for some reason I feel like "Mind Matters" is a great song but I'm the only one that likes it...and yeah Punish My heaven is fantastic lol
Punish my Heaven kicks ass Gottenburgh melodic death style, but there's plenty of other great songs by DT. "Projector" is a great album, but i think it's been underrated by must DT fans, maybe i'm wrong, what do u think?
Projector is my absolute favorite metal album, of all bands.
The Growl AND clean vocals on it are absolutely unparalleled, and the guitar and drum work is amazing, hopefully they really feature his clean vocals again.
