Massive In Flames giveaway!
. . .
In Flames is not a name uttered much around these parts. But despite all the stick they get in the metal world, I have tremendous respect for them. They aren’t my favorite band, but I will pick their music over much of what’s “tr00” or underground. I especially like their records after when they supposedly “sold out”, from Reroute to Remain onwards. The crisp, dry sound of their last two records is a marked contrast to the over-production to which their Gothenburg peers succumbed. I don’t have much use for In Flames’ reputed classics – Whoracle, Colony, Clayman. They’re dull as dust to me. But The Jester Race – wow! One of metal’s all-time great records, absolutely. Its folk/prog influences had a freshness that disappeared when In Flames settled into their melodeath groove. (It reappeared when the band started getting adventurous again, with Reroute to Remain.)
We’re teaming up with Good Fight Entertainment for a massive In Flames giveaway. Good Fight has reissued much of In Flames’ back catalogue – and we’re passing it along to you. The haul is six CDs, one DVD, and two t-shirts:
1 copy of The Jester Race
1 copy of Whoracle
1 copy of Colony
1 copy of Clayman
1 copy of Reroute to Remain
1 copy of Soundtrack to Your Escape
1 copy of Used & Abused – In Live We Trust DVD
2 In Flames t-shirts, in winner’s size
For a chance to win, simply name in the comments box below your favorite In Flames album. (I am personally curious about the results of this poll.) You can only name one. You can say that you don’t like any In Flames record, but then you won’t be entered in the giveaway. This contest is limited to the US and Canada. (Sorry, everyone else!) It closes a week from today, Thursday, January 20, at midnight PST. I will pick a winner randomly. The suits at Good Fight want you to read some small print below. As they say, flame away!
