Throughout the Vast Reaches Unclaimed, the Gothenburg sound truly lives on. Read more ›› |

In Flames revived a spark of their old selves with the surprisingly listenable Foregone, and last year's debut from The Halo Effect was a much better recapitulation of the band's classic style in a modern context. But if you want another truly capital-g Great Gothenburg album, this is the one to pick: it's not just the groove, not just the guitar tones, not just the screams, but the feeling that Majesties have harnessed. Vast Reaches Unclaimed has the mystique, the darkness, and the infernal romantic luster that made albums like The Jester Race, With Fear I Kiss The Burning Darkness, and Skydancer so rich and beautiful. The red in the sky may, in fact, be the glint of a new star on the horizon. ScreamingSteelUS's picks | More picks ›› |

Even the album cover reminds me of old In Flames. It's enjoyable record though all songs sound pretty same.

I loved the last Inexorum and was prepared to love this even more after hearing the preview songs. Sadly for me it lacked the staying power. The songs somewhat blend together more and more and sound samey or even monotonous after a couple of listens.

Like it was already said above, this is really close to early In Flame, and I really like it. Nice surprise. I like the production trying to sound oldish too. Also all the songs are on the same vibe, which is not a problem if you're into it

Not to be dramatic, but The World Unseen might be one of the best melodeath songs ever written.
