Heavy Metal Wanaka

Gothenburg, Sweden's Melodic (or Alt to some) metal band In Flames (my podcast / interview with Anders here...) recently released the song 'Save Me' from their upcoming album "Battles".  If you listen to my podcast with Anders, you might notice that I ask a question relating to this particular song, in that one of the early guitar riffs (to my ears) calls back to the theme song of the Xmen animated adventures from the 90's. No one else seems to have made this connection, but it still drives me mad- particularly as during our chat, Anders denied any such connection...  I'll begrudgingly admit it's not really close to a copy BUT there is something there!  WHERE'S MY TIN FOIL HAT?!?!

THIS WEEK on the HEAVY METAL WANAKA PODCAST-  ANDERS FRIDEN  vocalist for Melodic Metal band  IN FLAMES ! The bands new upcoming album, "BATTLES" is due out 11th November 2016. Originally from Gothenburg, Swedish they recorded this- their 12th , album in Los Angeles - a change for the band. The bands sound continues to EVOLVE with each album, which might polarise fans of earlier records, but I feel that this album is an easy relisten as well as most of the songs being iconically  In Flames sounding.   Check us out on all of these:-
