Daily Heavy: In Flames - Sounds of a Playground Fading

So today we have the title track from melodic death metal giant's, In Flames, most recent album.

A lot of older In Flames fans will notice that this album is the first, and only, not to feature original guitarist Jesper Strömblad.

As far as I'm concerned, along with bands like Dark Tranquility and At The Gates, In Flames characterize Scandinavian melodic death metal.

I love this kind of music because it so frequently produces songs with fantastic dual guitar work and amazing riffs.

Plus most metal subgenres don't include passages of music such as the one that opens this song - some nice chorus laden arpeggiated chords.

Give this song a listen and be sure to check out some older In Flames songs as well.
