IN FLAMES

Release Year: 2020
Artist Origin: SWE
Style: catchy melodic dynamic death metal

there is a wrong understanding that this twentieth anniversary edition of harmonious death metal masterpiece of an album is a newly recorded material in its entirety with a current line-up - in reality four re-recorded songs are added as a special bonus for die-hard fans on separate 10" vinyl, while the main course is original album with a remastered sound and one new instrumental medley; on their fifth numeral album [2000] catchy melodic Swedish death metal megastars reach their apogee of creativity - music may sound more upbeat than ever before, yet recording literally brims with heavier, more memorable and better constructed songs, like Pinball Map and Brush the Dust Away that instantly stick to mind, while Anders' vocal articulation got so much more raspier and suggestive, confirming the collective progress; deluxe trifold sleeve double black vinyl edition comes with padded inner sleeves, new artwork, and oversized sixteen page booklet featuring the liner notes
