10 Best Metal Live Performances You Can Watch On YouTube Right Now
7. In Flames (Rock Am Ring, 2015)
Despite losing their way in recent years after ditching their melodic death metal style (which is akin to Gordon Ramsay ditching swearing), In Flames can still provide one hell of a live show. And with a set that was book-ended by the heavy hits Only for the Weak and Take This Life, the Swedish juggernauts proved that point emphatically at Rock am Ring 2015.
For a festival appearance, this clip has superb audio mixing and is captured brilliantly by the Rock am Ring camera crew, interspersing shots of the band with the perfect amount of crowd footage, showing such highlights as the massive circle pit during the opening of Deliver Us and the anarchy induced by the previously mentioned shredder Take This Life.
Even if their more recent, tame studio offerings aren't your cup of tea, In Flames' live ability is doubtlessly timeless, transcending the vastly different eras of their two-decade-plus career.
