IN FLAMES
This is the newest release from this Swedish band. Before this album I didn't know them. I got to know them because of Jesper Stromblad who was in Hammerfall (as drummer). My friend told me he was in In Flames as a guitarist, so I decided it was a good bet to check it out. So I bought it and found it to be fuckin' awesome. The style is pretty much like Hammerfall's but the riffs are more agressive though, with black metal vocals(ex-Dark Tranquility's Anders Friden) and no ballads. My favorite songs from Colony are : Coerced Coexistence, Embody the Invisible, Scorn, and Insipid 2000. If you don't know this band and you like melodic death metal it's worth it to check it out.
