In Flames at L’Aeronef

Arguably the most wonderful thing about Lille is its quirky music scene. Atmospheric venues like L’Aeronef are perfectly made for interesting bands to come and perform. If you want to hear bland pop music, then whilst Lille may satiate you in other ways, musically it won’t be the best break for you.

But if you like something a bit different, then L’Aeronef is a venue you will love.

Why? Well, here’s just one example: On Sunday the 22^nd of November, L’Aeronef will play host to In Flames, a Swedish band from Gothenburg. In Flames, despite having gone relatively under the radar, are a pioneering band who have produced ground-breakingly original music which has helped develop the Melodic Death Metal genre hugely.

But you’re probably thinking that this is still grunge music which you don’t actually want to listen to.

Well, In Flames produce a lot more than Death Metal music. For one, in their two guitarists, Jesper Stromblad and Bjoran Gelotte, they have two of the most under-hyped musicians of the generations: these two are phenomenally talented at playing the guitar and far too few people have got to see them in action – their riffs are incredible.

Make sure you’re one of the lucky few who have seen In Flames, and it promises to be a special night in Lille.
