The guitar solo in this song is a pure raw and primeval magic. It is a conscious entity, a citizen in the alien world that is The Jester Race album. The band members didn't so much write the album but were merely used as vessels for this magic to come into our world. Some of that magic remained with them as they wrote their next albums, but naturally faded into the husk which they are today.
In my opinion, this is in the top metal albums ever. It’s consistent and has a very unique melodic vibe, tone and just atmosphere. I think this solo is also very hard to play. Best albums in metal for me Rust In peace Symbolic - unbelievable how great this album is, for me it’s no.1 or tied with rust in peace. Jester race. Moon shield, jester race,December flower, lord Hypnos, dead eternity (amazing), Goliaths disarm their David’s. They are all great none are boring it’s proper vibe . In flames I personally think have never been at that level since whoracke which is basically a (very good) but b side jester race album. They have an EP before this : Subterranean - there’s a song called Biosphere and no one has done a reaction to it - be the first you won’t regret it. The jester race is legendary, it’s the lead singers first album with them. Storm of the nights bane - this has my favourite ever metal song : nights blood
Bro, old in flames albums are gold mine, seriously. Lunar Strain, Jester Race and Whoracle are my 3 favorites album. If you wanna check some old In Flames banger I reccommend Lunar Strain and Starforsaken from Lunar Strain, Jester race and Artifacts of a Black Rain from Jester Race, and Jotun and The Hive from Whoracle.
Been listening to in flames for 20+ years. You will never go wrong with their early stuff. Episode 666, Zombie Inc., and Man Made God are some of my favourites!
