In Flames’ Colony Turns 20 Years Old

Welcome back to Apocalyptic Anniversaries, in which MetalSucks contributor and YouTuber TheMetalTris explores landmark anniversaries of some of the most important albums in the history of metal.

This week we look back at In Flames’ classic 1999 album Colony. How would Colony go on to define an entire generation of melodic death metal? How would the band’s shifting lineup — which saw Björn Gelotte move from drums to guitar and the addition of Daniel Svensson on drums — both solidify and evolve their sound? Take a look back with us.
