Each month, a musician discusses the ten albums that changed their life, their “Ten Commandments.” While guitarist Björn Gelotte admits to being very conservative in his tastes, his selection surely includes a little bit of everything that influenced In Flames throughout their career.

9. Dream Theater – Images And Words (1992)
The album that introduced me to Dream Theater. I don’t remember if my first connection was the track “Metropolis Part 1: The Miracle And The Sleeper” or “Take The Time,” but I was immediately blown away by the chemistry between these musicians who seemed to come straight from jazz. I’d never heard anything like it before.
Chaque mois, un musicien évoque les dix albums qui ont changé sa vie, ses « Dix Commandements ». Si le guitariste Björn Gelotte avoue être très conservateur dans ses goûts, il y a sûrement, dans sa sélection, un peu de tout ce qui a pu influencer In Flames au long de sa carrière.

9. Dream Theater – Images And Words (1992)
L’album avec lequel j’ai découvert Dream Theater. Je ne sais plus si mon premier contact fut le morceau « Metropolis Part 1 : The Miracle And The Sleeper » ou « Take The Time », mais j’ai immédiatement été soufflé par l’alchimie entre ces musiciens qui semblaient venir tout droit du jazz. Je n’avais jamais rien entendu de tel auparavant.
