In Flames - New-Style Growls VS Old-Style Growls

From Used and Abused live DVD, various YouTube clips and some bootlegs.
There is about 3x more ''new-style'' material because I couldn't find that much old video/audio with decent quality.
It's mostly live, but also from studio albums.
Enjoy!

0:14 - 0:16 Whats the song? :O 

[Krofius]

@MrRiiikard Fucking Hostile by Pantera, covered by In Flames =)

[shayan666]

whats the song at 0:50 it sounds sick! please need to know =)

[Krofius]

@shayan666 F(r)iend, off of Soundtrack To Your Escape. Yes, it's probably Anders best live performance ever in that song.

Old style...surely... that was their best work. In recent years they sound really fucking whiny. Reroute to Remain was when they changed from traditional metal to nu metal, and frankly, they don't do nu metal as well as, say, Soilwork. They're not bad, by any means, their new stuff just doesn't have any real power.

[Krofius]

@ffsnametaken Neither In Flames or Soilwork is anywhere close to Nu-Metal, nor have they ever been. Pre reroute was ''traditional metal''? What the fuck is traditional metal? It was gothenburg/melodic death metal, rather, although you could call In Flames an very progressive band. Even R2R could classify as melodeath. There's always been elements of melodeath, in all the newer albums. Their new stuff not having any real power is just your opinion, though I'm sure many people do agree with it =)

@Khalis33 In order, My Sweet Shadow, Fucking Hostile cover, In Search for I, Behind Space, In Search For I, F(r)iend, In Search For I, My Sweet Shadow, In Search For I, Dead God In Me, Watch Them Feed, Graveland, Dial 595-Escape, The Quiet Place, Take This Life, Disconnected, Drenched In Fear, March To The Shore, Disconnected, Condemned, Dead Eternity, The Jester Race, The Jester Race, The Hive, Worlds Within The Margin, Resin, Clad In Shadows, Scorn, Zombie Inc. Think that's 100% correct order.

@Primebot101 That's because as I said, in many parts in many songs (from R2R-ASOP) the low death growl is low in the mix, so you can barely hear it. When you listen to the songs many times as fuck you discover new things with the songs, new synth lines, a growl behind the scream etc, and that's what I fucking love about IF's music, I can listen to a song for 3 years, then suddenly I notice sampling or a synth line somewhere in the verse or a chorus..it's awesome.

@helpfuk I would have never agreed to that if I hadn't seen this video

[stringslayer97]

[turbocpt1]

New and Old.. Anders Friden is way fucking awesome.. the man has skills! \m/>_<\m/

[BlackDarkPeace]

new growls are more power full and the oscillation severe/acute are significantly the best

[TenerifeBS08]

[shayan666]
