The song "The Chosen Pessimist" by In Flames is about the struggles of making difficult choices in life, when one feels stuck between two paths. The singer is speaking from the perspective of someone who has been chosen to be pessimistic and has to come to terms with that. The song is asking questions on how to make the right choice and how to keep balance in the process. The song also emphasizes that although making decisions can be tough, one should not give up hope and try to stay positive. The bridge is a metaphor for how although it may be a struggle, the singer will eventually find a way out of their situation and be able to move forward The band is very underrated. They have some albums and songs I'm not crazy about, but, other than that, they're a band that sort of flies under the radar, since it's metal and metal doesn't get the type of attention it deserves
In Flames is def on my must see live bands. If you like yourneys like this you would enjoy Tesseract war of being. A Masterpiece of prog metal and Dans Voice is incredible
To really do In Flames justice, you need to check out their heavier stuff. They are a Melodic Death Metal band, but sort of moved away from that in the middle of their discography. Listen to Meet Your Maker off their most recent album, Foregone, as a sample or jump right into stuff from Jester Race, Colony, Lunar Strain, Whoracle, or Clayman. Not knocking the other stuff, it's just not the In Flames greatness, in my opinion.
I highly doubt you are ever going to be into In Flames, Theg are such an awesome band, so influential on so many bands, but sadly the songs being recommended are some of their worst, this track is ok, but far from their better songs, I would give "Zombie Inc" "Jotun" "Goliaths disarm their Davids" "Only for the weak" "Crawl through Knives" or "Meet your maker" off their latest album, keep up the good work 🤘
This is the weirdest and worst gatekeeping i have ever seen. This song is amazing despite whatever genre of metal you like. Jespet helper write this. Listen, chill out and fuck off. Go listen yo Cyhra bruh. Oh wait they broke up and Jasper's alcoholic ass did nt help.
Fun fact.. 10 years ago the entire band was made up of Swedish members. Today in 2025 only 2 members of the band are Swedish and the rest are American. Strange times lol
I will see you tomorrow Rachel or Washington tomorrow and she said you're your TH-cam you'll be okay and take care of yourself your friend Mike love you Magic Woman
They are criminally underrated. They don`t even get the respect that they deserve here in Sweden. Especially since they are wonderful live.
One of the most beautiful metal songs there is
That whole concert is just a masterpiece in itself!
Their older albums are some of the best music I've ever heard. His voice portrays a lot of the emotion that people like me cant express
Definitely feel the raw emotions in his singing. Another song of em with great lyrics is come clarity.
I always forget how much I love this band. I don’t listen to a lot of metal anymore but god I love hearing their sound
One of my favorite bands, and one of my favorite metal vocalists. Anders has such a unique voice, both with his singing and his screaming.
Anders is one of a kind and one of the best vocalists out there. love them

In Flames we trust!
He screamed "Scream! Scream! Screaaaaaaaaaaaam!" in Swedish
Interesting to hear how theyve evolved...i havent kept up since "sountrack to your escape", but "the quiet place" was a favorite on that album.
It's amazing what talented people can grow into. 30+ years, still making new albums👏👏👏
Whoa that is something insanely beautiful! ... The music is also nice!
Love some In Flames

I think the sort of gasping/yelping quality of Anders harsh vocals really add to the emotional intensity.
you need to listen to cloud connected live at sticky fingers next
Rachel I have not heard in flame before which is my first I like what I hear I see a potential there for them to go really big
They are 30 years into their career. They are already quite big and any American metal core band in the last 20 years owes their existence to them.
In flames is awesome
🤘🔥🔥🤘
После Металлики, вторая группа с которой началась моя любовь к металлу!!! Они прекрасны всегда!

Please react to Victor Garcia Castigo and Felipe Catto Crime Passional they are very good

Cool reaction. Do you know what year the video was from?
The original says 8 years ago
@ ok, yeah i thought so because Daniel was the drummer.
React to Ratt, Motley Crue, Poison
or other great 80s bands
hey can you consider reacting to victim by avenged sevenfold if you haven't already+ happy new years
Similar stuff - Type O Negative.
React to MIA or almost easy by avenged sevenfold

Old In Flames songs = gold. New In Flames songs (at the latest after Reroute to Remain) = crap. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I like watching you but this is not my kind of music.
