REVIEW: In Flames - Colony Nuclear Blast, 1999
9/10
In Flames - Colony - cover art In Flames is one of many good Swedish metal bands at the moment and also one of the most popular ones. This album is a little different from their last one "Whoracle" - the vocals are still death metal style and the music is still heavy and melodic but it is thicker than before with looser guitar riffs than before and not as sharp as on "Whoracle" - more noise and less melody than before you might say - although you can still hear traces of their old sound on this release. Don't get me wrong here - the music is still very good, especially tracks three and four. There are also an instrumental slow piece called Pallar Anders Visa which shows the rest of world that metal bands do not lack musical skill. Otherwise the album is filled with aggressive metal from the north of the very best kind. It was recorded at Studio Fredman, produced, engineered and mixed by Fredrik Nordström and the band, mastered by Göran Finnberg. Fredrik Nordström also plays hammond and slide on this album. This is not the band's best release so far in my opinion but it seems as if the rest of the world think so... Buy the record and hear for yourselves if you haven't already done so!
