this song is very special!! it's beautiful and dark..!! DT never released an other album like this.. The Gallery it's a masterpiece but.. this album is a original dark masterpiece I think hehehe
@Shadowlit001 why? anders's vocals here may be not the best of his career but they totally fit this album... his sounds dark and easy to listen to... he improved them with in flames i believe...
any kind of death metal is just good to me from Cannibal Corpse to Death to In Flames. i am more of a Melodic brutal death metal fan. kinda like Deaths Human album. or Symbolic. but IF and DT are just beautiful. so fucking awesome.
Anyone else liked this album more then The Gallery? The Gallery will always be a masterpiece but i prefer this, it just has an amazing atmosphere. I remember listening to this while waiting for my bus at 6AM when it's still dark and it's winter. Reminded me of the album art =)
@4LL3VIL I'd have to agree with you on this one 3vil, this is definitely not death metal. Death metal is known for its brutality, but this is far too creative, melodic and progressive in my opinion. I'm not saying I don't like death metal, I love it, but this is a genre of its own if you ask me. Then again I don't really like labelling anything when it comes to music. BTW Morbid Angel is awesome.
@Brian3987 Back in the day everything with Death-style vocals was categorized as death metal. The actual category was Swedish (east coast) Melodic Death Metal. One of the most beautiful metal songs ever done.
@4LL3VIL This is still death metal. It's just melodic. It's like saying despite being "symphonic black metal" a band isn't actually black metal. Yes they are, it's called a subgenre, within a subgenre, with a subgenre.
xdieromanticx212, you say why people have issues with in flames'? hahaha why?? man you myabe have trash in your ears, DT & IF pioneers??stfu ignorant.. DT & IF was first than Desultory?? or at the gates??? because in first instance they have a lotttt of inlfuence of "the red in the sky is ours" just hearing this song except the female voice, but in flames ati this time just sucks!, nothing can compare now with the jester race and subterranean lunar.... the new in flames discs suucks!!
You know why people flame each other alot on these vids? Because you're forgetting the LYRICS OF THE SONG WHICH ARE VERY VERY EPIC And there's nothing to discuss :)
actually Friden was a hell of a vocalist, Shadow Duet is the ultimate proof he really mantained an incredible vocal performance allong with Stanne wich I think is the best growler ever
stanne are much better than friden...dt much better than in flamez....only old in flamez were good cuz they had stanne on vocalz and now they suck emo shit..dt for ever ;)
I think you cant compare Friden and Stanne. Stanne is the better live performer ( his voice is authentic) and Friden sing in a very difficult. I like both Bands, but they make different kinds of music, in Flames is my favourite one. But I also understand people who prefer DT =).
Personally, I think this voice is the coolest way to growl I ever heard, I try to learn from it, but I love Stannes growls in The Gallery aswell. About Friden - what do you think of his vocals in, for example the Whoracle album? I think its about as good.
for me, stanne just has the best growls out of any that i have heard, and for friden, i think after the jester race, everything until clayman is decent, but not as good as it used to be.
I'd say that back in the day (Colony/Clayman era), Friden did have the more powerful voice; his vocals on "Embody the Invisible" on "Clayman" are absolutely ferocious. Stanne's voice I've found less powerful, but more expressive and more soulful, which has its own, completely different merits. Certainly, though, I think each vocalist really suits their own band.
Imo Friden did best on Skydancer, whoracle and colony. He has some nice growls, I prefere Stanne tho because he sings more clearly and he really got an opera voice when singing his cleans.
I'd agree there. Maintaining a good clean voice while being able to scream well is really difficult to do. Friden's really wrecked his screaming in the newer albums; since he started doing full on cleans (not including those breathy whispers on "clayman") his screams have lost so much power. Whereas Stanne sings better, and his snarls are as gorgeous as ever. I'd actually say Stanne is one of the most talented vocalists in modern metal.
@2351982 ammm when he sings clean he sounds weird, but i dont care he is the best at what he does and he does not sound like they are raping a ping like anders friden
When I listen to this album, it's hard for me to believe that I listen to metal album. It's far too good to be just metal. Skydancer is poetry, best poetry ever written by human hand. There aren't any "I smash your fucking head" or "I hate you lord" cliche phrases to satisfy dumbass metalheads who just sit in pubs, drink their beer and scream "emo sucks!!1!1!1!" to prove themselves how "brutal" they are. Skydancer is for intelligent people who want their music deep and meaningful.
@lunarstrain100 It's so true. I'm definitely a metalhead but I want much higher quality lyrically than just lyrics about gore or wickedness or politics. A lot of those bands are awesome but Dark Tranquility is so above many of them lyrically.
Dark Tranquillity gives me the chills, Skydancer and The Gallery is so f*cking good that i had to log in to youtube just to share that sensation with people that know what I mean. I can't recall if I ever heard anything better!
there is nothing like that first heavy yet soft, neoclassical yet classical while still heavy metal sound you hear, for me it was the guitar and in flames and bands like them with similar melody embody so much of what music means to me today
i dont get why people have such issues with in flames sorry that they came out in 94 way before all you metal fanboys got into your pig squeal shit, this is back when death metal had a good melody to it, and did not require high squeals and a jumbled mess of guitar/bass. in flames and dark tranquility were pioneers of death metal. they should be given just as much credit as testament and death. anyone care to disagree???
Swedish Death Metal had slight melody to it, but most of those bands are only considered Death Metal according to todays expectations.
American Death Metal is the type of DM that's devoid of melody.
I would give credit to Dark Tranquility for creating what would be Gothenburg metal sound instead of Death Metal, since they lacked that crunchy, lack of melody in their songs.
Issues? Do you mean the fact that they are closer today to being a metalcore and nu-metal band than to a melodic death metal band? That's a huge fucking issue especially for someone like me who first started listening to In Flames more than 10 years ago.
In Flames and Dark Tranquillity do get lots of credit. Testament plays a totally different genre and you can't compare the credit they get with IF and DT.
Death is superior to all of them and if anything, they deserve more credit.
Finally someone that teaches the "un- appreciators" of classic death metal. All this pig squeal stuff and that "Guitar Smorgasbord" (all In Flames fans know what I mean^^)...
Get your facts right and yeah I disagree with you and the 25 idiots that thumbed you up. Testament isn't Death Metal (NEVER WAS). And who did you say the pioneers of Death metal were? About 80% of the melodeath sound comes from early Swedish Death Metal (1989-1991). So it's great when I hear everyone repeating the same standard stories they heard.
@xdieromanticx212 Testament didn't really do anything to pioneer death metal, they were thrash until the LATE 90s, when there were lots of death metal bands around. I think In Flames, Dark Tranquility, and At The Gates deserve more credit than Testament, honestly.
@xdieromanticx212 true metalheads are to caught up in pig squeelz and breakdownw and some other gay shit but they didn't pioneer death metal, they pioneered MELODIC death metal. Death and Celtic frost pioneered death metal. Mostly death though...
Cannibal Corpse sucks as, do they have cool album covers except depictions of slaughters on all albums covers !
Mind numbing noises, that's how I categorise them . Other similar bands are just faggots that took the beauty from the slow and soothing melodic death metal and made a regurgitative pile of bass/guitar all at once !
I know CC was first, but IF and DT made better music and more inovative !
@NearbyHermit Possessed is more thrash :P And they dont sing about gore :o
You should also thank them for helping start the death metal genre, they influnced Death alot. About the others, i would only take a listen to Cryptopsy, but just because of Lord Worm :P
@YTisMyPlaylist Well, I just took a few listens to a few songs , so I might underestimate them !
But I do know much about Death and Obituary, Amorphis, Entombed, these kind of bands .
Cryptopsy for example has a song with Lord Worm called, Slit Your Guts, which is very disturbing, I mean, the song is a typical brutal death metal song, but it's clearly not my type !
@YTisMyPlaylist No, but they have that noisy vocalism, which is actually brilliant !
You can say anything about blood and flesh, but if you say it in a certain way, like ''the bunch'' does, it becomes sick !
Of course blasphemy isn't satanism, satanism is the worship of the self deity !
I have a strong belief in God.
Music is the only way to transmit the message to the people ! True, but metal (music) is a preferrence, the thing you see at TV, that's not music , it's hypnotism ! Thurisaz ?
@NearbyHermit Haha, TV music = Hypnosism = true. :D In a way.
Yeah, Decapitated vocals are unique. I myself is an atheist, if you would care. But its nice to see a christian who doesnt just say "WTF IS THIS EVIL CRAP!?" about metal :P
About Thurisaz, i thought i would share a band that i like, kinda deep underground, and i guessed you would like them. If you cant find by just searching by that: search for Thurisaz - Circadian Rhythm
I know many people are absorbed and enslaved by religion, but that's not the purpose, they're just too desperate or weak to think for themselves, either rational christianity or atheism, those are the ''awaken'' people :D
Metal is my favorite genre, it puts my brain in motion.
Wow, they're a cool band, that song has a nice rhytm to it !
Check out A Canarous Quintet,an old school melodic death metal, similar to At The Gates.
@NearbyHermit You're more into melodic death then ? I prefer brutal/technical death, but i'm not against some Dark Tranquillity or At The Gates once in a while.
@xdieromanticx212 Good opinion but it's wrong. It's just absurd to call In Flames and Dark Tranquillity pioneers of death metal, which is totally different from melodic death metal. They were never death metal to begin with.
You, sir, are quite strange. Dont you like the song in the video above? That is Anders Fridén singing. And with In Flames he shows that he is just amazing.
People that sing in the exact same way, year after year, they are the ones who are terrible. Because thats the only one thing they can do.
Tell me, you havent seen In Flames live, no? Do that and then you can say he cant sing.
It all comes down to what you yourself likes. When Stanne sang in In Flames back in the days, it didnt sound nearly as good as with Anders voice. However Stanne does it very good in Dark Tranquillity nowadays.
Then we have something in common, I've seen them live lots of times. I try to attend as many In Flames concerts a year as i can, it usually is 3-4 depending where they play.
And all i can say is that he just is amazing, from my point of view. No other singer does what he does.
Lunar Strain is my favorite In Flames album and the vocals on it are the best on any In Flames album.
I have always preferred Stanne's vocals to Friden's.
It is just dumb to call Friden an amazing vocalist unless you're talking about the OLD days. Nowadays he sounds like an emo bitch when he squeals and whines in the clean vocal parts and his screams are that of metalcore bands.
Underrated masterpiece for both friden and stanne.

I hate gory bands, they bring this good genre called death metal down.

@YTisMyPlaylist Exactly !
Haha, I don't like the vocals at all, if I put a microphone close to a pig, in God's name I can swear it makes the same noises !
Just took a small peak into some acts I mentioned below. Cryptopsy remains the same, even if it turned deathcore, it has that same essence.
From this bunch , the only band I trully like is Decapitated, all of their stuff is pure genious !
Blasphemous music XD , in it's essence, metal isn't satanic, it only tells the truth !
NearbyHermit 1 year ago
@NearbyHermit Yeah :P
Again, Decapitated does not have gory lyrics either, really smart rather, so they dont belong to "that bunch".
Also blasphemy has not really anything to do with satanism, its just being anti-religious.
Metal is the truth, the only truth, the truth you dont have to shove down peoples throats for them too like.
Also, check out Thurisaz, good shit...kinda like DT.

@YTisMyPlaylist No, but they have that noisy vocalism, which is actually brilliant !
You can say anything about blood and flesh, but if you say it in a certain way, like ''the bunch'' does, it becomes sick !
Of course blasphemy isn't satanism, satanism is the worship of the self deity !
I have a strong belief in God.
Music is the only way to transmit the message to the people ! True, but metal (music) is a preferrence, the thing you see at TV, that's not music , it's hypnotism ! Thurisaz ?
NearbyHermit 1 year ago
@NearbyHermit Haha, TV music = Hypnosism = true. :D In a way.
Yeah, Decapitated vocals are unique. I myself is an atheist, if you would care. But its nice to see a christian who doesnt just say "WTF IS THIS EVIL CRAP!?" about metal :P
About Thurisaz, i thought i would share a band that i like, kinda deep underground, and i guessed you would like them. If you cant find by just searching by that: search for Thurisaz - Circadian Rhythm

@YTisMyPlaylist Right :P
EVIL CRAP ? never !!!
I know many people are absorbed and enslaved by religion, but that's not the purpose, they're just too desperate or weak to think for themselves, either rational christianity or atheism, those are the ''awaken'' people :D
Metal is my favorite genre, it puts my brain in motion.
Wow, they're a cool band, that song has a nice rhytm to it !
Check out A Canarous Quintet,an old school melodic death metal, similar to At The Gates.

@NearbyHermit Yeah metal tells the truth. I read it in Cannibal Corpse's Necropedophile's lyrics.

@NearbyHermit You're more into melodic death then ? I prefer brutal/technical death, but i'm not against some Dark Tranquillity or At The Gates once in a while.
Neuroneos 1 year ago
@Neuroneos I would of said yes, but I guess I like to listen to a lot of music types .
Brutal death metal ... hmm ? I preffer death metal to be a little more mellow :D
Yeah, some melodic death never does any harm. Do you listen to anything else besides extreme metal ?
NearbyHermit 1 year ago
@NearbyHermit Yes. Power, Heavy, Symphonic, Industrial. I think there's good and bad things everywhere.

@xdieromanticx212 Testament is thrash, and their sound is far away from death metal (Sepultura, Sarcofago, old Sodom got the deathy thrash feeling)
Althought i do agree that DT deserve more credit for helping a new genre start, there are alot more underated death metal/melodeath bands then DT.
Nothing beats Scandinavian metal.

@xdieromanticx212 No, their pioneered melodic metal, not death metal. Totally different. Death pioneered death metal, not in flames.

Neuroneos 1 year ago
@xdieromanticx212 Good opinion but it's wrong. It's just absurd to call In Flames and Dark Tranquillity pioneers of death metal, which is totally different from melodic death metal. They were never death metal to begin with.

@xdieromanticx212 Pioneer? PFT! lololol! DT are a wonderful group of people in their old days but far from pioneers.

he can`t sing, just hear the new In Flames,terrible!!!

You, sir, are quite strange. Dont you like the song in the video above? That is Anders Fridén singing. And with In Flames he shows that he is just amazing.
People that sing in the exact same way, year after year, they are the ones who are terrible. Because thats the only one thing they can do.
Tell me, you havent seen In Flames live, no? Do that and then you can say he cant sing.

I wouldn't say he's amazing nowadays. His days are long gone. I have been to plenty of their concerts and he sucks major balls live now.
In Flames is a thing of the past. Face it.

It all comes down to what you yourself likes. When Stanne sang in In Flames back in the days, it didnt sound nearly as good as with Anders voice. However Stanne does it very good in Dark Tranquillity nowadays.
Then we have something in common, I've seen them live lots of times. I try to attend as many In Flames concerts a year as i can, it usually is 3-4 depending where they play.
And all i can say is that he just is amazing, from my point of view. No other singer does what he does.

Lunar Strain is my favorite In Flames album and the vocals on it are the best on any In Flames album.
I have always preferred Stanne's vocals to Friden's.
It is just dumb to call Friden an amazing vocalist unless you're talking about the OLD days. Nowadays he sounds like an emo bitch when he squeals and whines in the clean vocal parts and his screams are that of metalcore bands.
