Whoracle by In Flames

Whoracle is the third album by Swedish melodic death metal band In Flames. The album was released through Nuclear Blast on 27 October 1997. Apart from "Everything Counts", which is a cover of a Depeche Mode song, all songs were composed and arranged by In Flames. The lyrics were translated by Dark Tranquillity guitarist Niklas Sundin, after Anders Fridén had written them in Swedish. Whoracle is the final album to have Johan Larsson & Glenn Ljungström. The album was recorded and released in 1997, and the title is a portmanteau of the English words "whore" and "oracle". Fredrik Nordström noted that it was not easy to record at times, since the band members usually preferred drinking beer and playing Tekken 3.This is the last In Flames release with Björn Gelotte playing drums, as he permanently switched to lead guitar in future releases. The album's booklet mistakenly depicts the lyrics for "Morphing Into Primal" instead of the lyrics for "Episode 666".
