Another one that isn't out until next week and is very much one you need to go buy when it drops as well. The new In Flames disc is AWESOME! Now I have always been kind of a selective In Flames fan. Some tunes I liked some I didn't.
This album start to finish is actually my favorite so far. It's not nearly as heavy as some of their other albums, but it's still very much metal. It's almost Heavy/Rock Metal. If that makes any sense. The guitars have a lot more rock element to them and there is a lot more of a sing scream then most die hards might be used too. It's still heavy as shit, lots of low end, sounds awesome blaring in your car. But it's more open to a wider audience, and with the right push I can see them building on their already huge fan base. It's the first record without Jesper Strömblad who was their founding guitarist, which probably accounts for the changes.
They dropped "Deliver Us" May 7 as the first single. If you check it out you'll see what I'm talking about. I don't know if you guys know the band Threat Signal. If not you fucking better get on that shit too. Fucking awesome Canadian Metal.. anyway the reason I bring up TS. I find some of the vocals very similar to Jon's, which might be another reason I really liked it. Either way, really great disc go get it when it drops next week and bang your head!
Also I just want to take a second and say that the cover art is fucking amazing. I dunno why, but I love it. I think it fits the record 100%, it's great to look at, and the color is perfect. Wiki says it's by artist Dave Correia. Good damn job man!
