Yes, and Fridén is on vocals on the first dt album. Later it turned out that Stanne was better than Fridén though, even if it really doesn't seem like that in this video. ;)
No, if you had been to one of their shows, you wouldn't say that. During this show Stanne obviously had problems with the singing. They picked a bad day to film the video.
I read that Peter said something like, "If I'm getting bored with it - chances are the fans/listeners are, too." And if you know who Peter Tagtgren is (which you probably do if you've been in the extreme metal loop for any amount of itme), he's been around, he's got a diverse range of death vocals. He's pro.
Stanne's good, too. He's a great growler and a pretty good screamer. But I don't know what he was trying in this song..or if he was just having a bad day.
oh god yeah....I saw them in a really small setting and like stanne was right in my face the whole time...at one point he grabbed my hand and wouldn't let go!
he's got a lot of energy and just sends it out over the audience, running around and acting crazy...he's way skinnier in person even than he looks in pictures. I've seen them twice, both times they were great.
Actually, it's not Mikael's fault. This was a VCD and they had to reduce the sound quality on everything to reduce the size. And the VCD itself made it sound even worse.
Whoracle best In Flames album??? I reacon The Jester Race stands to it pretty good but i still beleive Colony is their best... yeah and Dark Tranquility freaking owns New in flames.. but there is a bit of an argument between Dark and Old IF... both bands rule!
He's a great live frontman and singer, he has some awesome presence on stage. Growlers usually have ups and downs, doing that for an hour or more 100 or more days a year takes its toll on one's throat at some point.
I've seen them live and I can asure you, Stanne is absolutely amazing
An informed statement, not just someone talking out their ass (like too many on youtube). Like Rated said, they have good days and bad days, it takes vocal training, and the proper delivery so you don't damage your vocals. (especially during long gigs)
But I digress - it does seem like Damage Done is what happened to Stanne's vocals on this gig? or just this song perhaps. If you've ever read a Peter Tagtgren (of Hypcrisy) interview though-- he says that he'll switch up vocal styles live.
Actually, they are "brotherbands" meaning they help eachother write songs and gives help and they often tour together, so there's a reason to why they are so similar. It's intentional. To state the obvious, DT doesn't really own In Flames, nor the other way around. ;D
Dumbass gothenburg metal, melodic death metal or just death metal, its still DEATH METAL, in flames, dark tranquillity, at the gates, ceremonial oath are DEATH metal,it does´n f...g matter where they come from just what they play my dear asshole.
however i WILL listen to both the songs u listed, as i havent heard of em... but crawl through knives IS WHAT melodic metal is, it defines it u tosser
If you are able to listen, which I guess You aren't capable, compare Damage done from DT to any song from Crawl through Knives, and if you think any of the song belong to melodic death metal then I guess you are nothing but a NUMETAL F...g poser.
Crawl thru knives is hardly meoldic death, and this comes froma long time IF superfan. If any album defined melodic death metal, it would be Lunar Strain, The Jester Race or Whoracle. Crawl thru knives is a big time departure, that whole album is good and all, but I actually have to skip some of those songs b/c they make me think less of a band I really like
Who f.... cares if they all come from gothenburg, sweden, you can´t compare old in flames (lunar strain, the jester race) to the new crap (crawl through knives) or even to the mind´s I or Fiction from DT dumb cunt.
My brother know's the singer, he lives a few blocks away from my brothers appartment in Gothenburg. He promised me to meet him personally someday =). DT is the shit!
I really don't think that you should be allowed to comment negitively on something that you yourself can't do. Learn some scales and tremelo picking then come back, maybe the rest of us will listen to you then.
Dressupdead is right. DT and In Flames have history, Anders WAS in DT and Stanne WAS with In Flames when the bands formed. They both have similar styles. Both bands pretty much just swapped vocalists. I've been in a ton of bands, I'm in 4 right now, and I can also tell you this is one of the greatest genres of music in the world. Beats that rap/rock/country/pop bullshit most idiots listen to, hands down. .
welll...hello... today is my first time listening to dark tranquility.. the vocals are not really the best but is perfect for the band.. the music is very good. i love the bass. is orgasmic the melodies of the guitars are justa trip. good band..looking forward to purchasing a record.. anyone wanna recommend a cd? something liek damage done."the song"
Ok first of all you have to be a death vocalist to fully understand why his voice is weak. Im in a band and do these exact vocals with proper technique and they still take a fucking toll on your endurance after like 10 songs so cut stanne some fucking slack already.
i dont like this genre of music ..i really dont know its black metal or what it was..i totally dislike the voice growlings but guitar part is really nice
No, you've got to understand that if he had good vocal technique his voice could indure the touring and constant gigging. He obviously doesnt know what he's doing and he sounds like complete shit. The music is amazing but the vocals blow ass. Thank God Stanne didnt stay in In Flames because Anders is a million times better.
first, learn how to speak and type correctly before you make a fool of yourself as you already have. Saying anders learned from DT is ridiculous, anders was in dt before he went to in flames. And where are u getting that from? were u there in sweden when they were a band, u saw him "learn from DT" whatever the hell that means. No, u did'nt, so keep your mouth shut before you look like a bigger idiot than you already are. by the way, ppl are entitled to their own opinions dipshit ;)
Yea, alot of people get pissed if the vocal performance isn't perfect or is just only ok. But you've got to understand..if you're doing alot of gigs, and you're doing the type of vocals that Stanne does or what lots of people in the genre do. You're vocal chords kinda get "scratchy" from time-to-time, lol. So,
Often times they'll have a bad performance. I'm not sure the case here..

i agree, i love the guitar parts in alot of their songs, but the vocals do sounds weak, when i saw them in a small club with Opeth, his vocals were perfect, i guess thats what touring does
