In Flames - Whoracle

A master of progressive death metal or the 'Gothenberg sound' practiced by many a Swedish band, In Flames delivers one of its best efforts with 1997's Whoracle. 11 tracks. Nuclear Blast. Album Description

Must Buy for any metal fan

This is a truly amazing album that covers all the spectrums in flames excels in and some they generally don't. To deal with the latter category first, In Flames is not necessarily renowned for their instrumental skill above all else, but Dialogue with the Stars proves that these guys can indeed create a masterpiece of a song with no aid from their vocals. The rest of the album is made up entirely of amazing songs from episode 666 to Jotun to Food For the Gods to Gyroscope to everything I haven't mentioned yet. This is in flames at their the top of their game, so pick it up. However, it might actually be an equally good idea to buy the tokyo showdown instead considering it contains almost all the songs on this album, but live. April 5, 2008

Great Effort

Unfortunately for In Flames, they set the bar so high that Whoracle, though a very solid album, is not at the same platue of The Jester Race-Black Ash Inheritance. Whoracle offers much of the same feel and vibes of the previous which also weakens it. But don't let that discourage you, because In Flames is such an amazing group that they more than make up for it. This album earns itself a 4.0 rating, very solid album. "Jotun", "Food For The Gods", and "The Hive" are it's highest points. March 4, 2008

A Melodic Death Metal Classic

When a friend sent me In Flames' crushing "Trigger," I knew I had to hear more of their stuff. Being new to the metal scene, I promptly purchased "Colony" and "Reroute to Remain," which I thorougly enjoyed. At this point, I figured I should probably find out what all the buzz around Whoracle was about. One listen was all it took to know that it lived up to the hype. With undisputed metal classics like Jotun and Episode 666, the album radiates excellence. The heavy-yet-melodic riffs that give In Flames a good name make this is an absolute must have for any metal fan. December 29, 2006

Classic of the genre

Whoracle is one of In Flames greatest albums ever and most certainly a top 10 in the all time Melodic Death Metal charts. Its great metal with a distinct mood and auora surrounding it. It has that classic In Flames folky element to it and its great stuff all the way. If your a IF fan a must own, a melodic death metal fan a must own, a folk metal fan a must own and general metal fan guess what its a must own album!! Pick it up its deff one of their best efforts and a classic sure to live on for many years as it already is today. I picked it up upon its release and its still great to listen too and I do listen to it about every other day. December 4, 2006
