Ah Through Oblivion, horrible song.

I feel like this is hardly metal (if that). But I don't dislike it.

I try to be tolerant towards sound changes but this... this is just bland indierock ballad. Hard to believe these guys were one of the melodeath pioneers judging by this song.

I have stood by In Flames and I actually like some of their newer stuff, but I am confused over this song. The chorus sounds like something out of Muse's dumpster and the lack of riffs is just annoying. I really hope that this and "Rusted Nails" are the low point of "Siren Charms"

No riffs, not heavy. Not even very melodic. Bland pop-rock song. My god, what happend to In Flames? I'm glad the rest of the Melodic Death Metal bands didn't go this route. I'm stoked to see Dark Tranquillity in Jan!

Please kill me

It's better than most songs from A Sense of Purpose... I think the chorus is quite catchy, but that's it, nothing special, not even something good, but at least I don't hate it.

Aaaaaaaaaand it sucks.

I get the feeling that they aren't really trying to please their original audience, anymore. Couple days ago I listened The Jester Race and it was amazing - even better than I remembered - and just out of sadistic curiosity I listened this... mockery of a song. I have nothing against non-metal music and even less against metal bands experimenting with non-metal sounds, but this is so far beyond that. This is rubbish, pure and absolute rubbish with no redeeming factors to it.

In Flames stahp. wat R U doin? In Flames. STAHP.

I really wish In Flames would just stop making music. Nothing they've made after Clayman has been worth the deterioration of their reputation that has occurred (you know, because the music sucks). I guess they've just moved on to a completely different sound and alienated the people who enjoyed their older style. It's their artistic choice, but that doesn't mean I'm happy about it....

I was going to listen to this but then I remembered the other song they released.

This song is far worse than Rusted Nail.

Taking your word for it.

The chorus was pretty catchy but the guitar is boring as hell in this one. Keyboards in the chorus are the highlight, it's a shame coming from a metal band like they once was..

Not good.

If In Flames and Opeth want to become fucking lame hipster douchebags, why don't they change the names of their bands?

It's sacrilege. I hope they all die in a fire.

You're so stupid, I can't even begin to describe it.

It's about time In Flames drop this ridiculous dead-end genre called melodeath. I hope they evolve into something interesing. They certainly don't lack talent.

Extrange song... I'm gonna listen to it more times. Don't dislike it. Don't like it...

As much as I disagree with Orangutoad I also can't agree with you. In Flames and something interesting? Strömblad left 4 years ago, he was the main songwriter. In Flames is just going downhill and downhill. I believe they can evolve into pop-rock band with some electronic elements, nothing interesting.

RIP In Flames ..

I'm with you on that one. In Flames could probably do some decent pop rock if they really tried, but that's not likely to happen

This "Through Oblivion" was really bland. Not bad, but bland. At least, Anders vocals don't ruin this one, unlike Rusty Nail. Oh, and drop these glasses please.

Disband pls

I don't think In Flames could make decent pop rock if they really tried because it seems they are really trying, and failing miserably at it.

Enough said... Except I think we should al try to figure out totally unfounded reasons as to why this is happening.
I say that Anders got bitten by a hipster.

Finished on the second minute. That is the worst I've ever heard of inflames.

p.s
Inflames playing hipster metal haha ha ha...I wish them great sales...

Vocals make me cringe - the same cringe I get when I hear chalk scraping across a blackboard...

I don't think them changing their sound is necessarily a bad thing, if it sounds good. On the other hand, this is a fine mixture of boring, stale, several turds with sugar put on the top. In short, this is terrible.

So. Fucking. Bad.

So I'M STUPID? eh? LOL. It's worthless fucks like you supporting these bands turning into hipster douchebags who are stupid, and "stupid" is a big understatement. Both of these bands were LEGENDARY in metal, and then they decide they are going to change into mediocre, sleep inducing, artsy-fartsy garbage then insult the music of their roots by saying it's not viable, insult the fans, and state that they care absolutely NOTHING about what their fans want? WOW! How do you change from a legendary metal musician, to a smug, low life hipster douche virtually OVERNIGHT?

I have to just stand back in AWE of the immense smugness, overwhelming ignorance, and insane "douchery" of people like you, and these bands. It's unbelievable! It's EPIC!

Why do you even come to Metalstorm? You sound like real metal hating hippy to me with those kind of comments. How about you stop pretending, and just go ahead and say "metal is dead end" instead of just "melodeath", eh? I think that's what you actually meant to say. Why play games? Why do you want metal to turn into prog rock? Don't you have enough of those bands to listen to? I don't want my beloved metal (which is like a religion to me) to turn into mediocre garbage that puts people to sleep, and it pisses me off to see it happening to some of my favorite bands like Opeth and In Flames, but it pisses me off even more to watch total idiots like you supporting it and defending it.

I mean...they certainly don't lack talent, but the truth is, they are wasting it by watering themselves down and trying to be something they are not. It will never work, and they are not only betraying their roots, but the fans that actually lifted them to the heights they have achieved. They truly believe that they are above everything, and for this shitty attitude and total betrayal, I hope that both Opeth and In Flames both fade into obscurity to prove that the fans won't stand for this bullshit. Although I begin to seriously doubt there is any greater justice in this universe when I see exactly how many "people" like you actually exist...

I don't even hate prog rock, in fact I love a few prog metal bands, but if I want to listen to full blown prog rock there are a ton of bands out there that do it a thousand times better. That's a fact.

Orangutoad - taking metal seriously since ever.
