In Flames
Reroute To Remain
Daniel Svensson
|
Media Type: CD
RATING: 8

On Reroute To Remain, In Flames? sixth studio album, the Swedish metal band?s songwriting and arrangements show massive depth. The title track features wonderfully familiar In Flames elements: fluent yet propulsive guitar riffs reminiscent Priest and Maiden, roaring death metal vocals, and the precise, powerhouse drumming of DANIEL SVENSSON. Yet other tunes are mighty surprising. "Trigger" offers dark, murky melodies that would give Marilyn Manson a run for his money, and "Cloud Connected" is a futuristic ?ber tune Kraut-rock devotees would dig. All along, Svensson handles the rerouting with grace and madness, while In Flames burn brighter than ever. |
In Session With Korn
Transcribed by Tim Goodyer

Media Type: Book/CD
RATING: 7

Fan of Korn or not, you have to admire the drum parts of David Silveria for propulsion and creativity. He?s taking the concepts of spreading the beat around the kit like Steve Smith, while packing the power of a Matt Sorum. Silveria is quick to point out in an opening "thank you" section that it?s not his actual tracks you hear on the accompanying CD. Rather, the drums have been re-recorded to make it easier to hear his parts. But they seem pretty accurate. (I imagine Silveria would be squawking if they weren?t.) Both Martin Shellard (music arrangement and recording) and Tim Goodyer (transcriptions and text explanations, made easier with very pleasing graphics) did a fine job. (Warner Brothers) |
