Here is what went down this week.

Gym Tune of the Week: Gym Tune: In Flames “Meet Your Maker”
The first time I saw In Flames was 1997 at the Milwaukee Metal Fest - which is going on this weekend again actually. They had just released “The Jester’s Race” the year before and it was my first time seeing them live.
Wow - they were amazing! I was right up front on the left hand of the stage next to my buddy “The Rev” (aka Rev David J Ciancio). Fast forward over a decade and half later and In Flames are still putting out crushing new tunes like this one. Horns up!
Rock on,
Dr Mike
