In Flames

Whoracle

Nuclear Blast

Imagine an ’80s ballad band, locked in time… now released to play their blend of pinch harmonics and dual guitar solos, with gruff vocals, and double bass. The CD’s not too bad if you like to laugh at guys in skin tight jeans who still think glam rock is HOT.

Hmmm, let’s see about the song titles: “Food for the Gods” – metal. “Morphing Into Primal” – pretty metal. “Episode 666” – full-on metal. The music is well-recorded, and it’s really tight. The whole thing is pretty darn good if you can get over the added banana in the singer’s hot pink spandex pants, and the fireworks on stage… Nuclear Blast America, P.O. Box 15877, Tampa 33684-0877
