Alongside At the Gates and Dark Tranquillity, In Flames pioneered the genres known as Swedish death metal and melodic death metal.
During the band's early years, In Flames had a varying group of musicians recording with them, including many session musicians. By the release of Colony (1999), the group had established a stable lineup. Their sixth studio album Reroute to Remain (2002) showed the band moving toward a newer style of music that moved further away from melodic death metal and closer to alternative metal. This decision was criticized by fans of the group's heavier metal sound; however, it increased the band's mainstream audience and bolstered their album sales. As of 2008, In Flames has sold over two million records worldwide.
Since the band's inception, In Flames have released thirteen studio albums, three EPs, and two live DVDs, their latest release being their thirteenth studio album I, the Mask in 2019. In Flames has been nominated for three Grammis Awards. They won two of these nominations; one for Soundtrack to Your Escape (2004) in the "Hard Rock/Metal of the Year" category, and one nomination for their following album Come Clarity (2006) in the same category.

Man Made God
In Flames Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
[Instrumental]
As the lyrics of this song are an instrumental, there are no words to interpret. However, the music itself can convey a range of emotions and ideas. The opening notes are somber and introspective, before transitioning into a faster, more energetic melody. The multiple guitar parts weave together in a complex and harmonious way, creating a sense of unity and shared purpose. The shifting rhythms and dynamics keep the listener engaged, with each section building on the one before it.
Overall, The Jester's Dance showcases In Flames's impressive musicianship and ability to create a rich and layered instrumental composition. The music can be interpreted in many different ways, depending on the listener's own experiences and feelings.

I like it that this song has the most ambiguous title ever. It could be read as:
Man made god - A man who has ascended to the status of a god
Man-made god - A fake "god" created by humans. Could be referencing to the internet.
Men made god - Impling that gods were an invention of mankind. (This interpretation relies on the odd chance of the title being misspelled and actually meant to be "mEn made god". Which is unlikely, but not impossible.)
Also, I find it funny how vague the copyright statement in the description of the video is.

This is the Orion of melodic death metal.

No! this is man made GOD of In flames. Don't compare pieces of music one with the other. It's like saying that Metallica's music is the standard in Metal, which is not!

This and Amon Amarth - Free Will Sacrifice :)

@Bora Oltulu Not an instrumental. Great fucking song, don't get me wrong, but the original poster was thinking of the best melodic death metal song without vocals.
Bora Oltulu
Punish my heaven by dark tranquility is the orion of melodeath for sure

One of the best instrumentals ever because no vocals can do it justice, the guitars are the vocals and they do a stellar job at delivering complete emotion. A masterpiece.
