In flames
In Flames was formed by Jesper Strömblad back in 1990. The band as it was at the time consisted of Jesper, Johan Larsson and Glenn Ljungström. A demo was recorded and soon after the band got a record deal and released “Lunar Strain” and it did not take long before the album was a classic in the fast growing Scandinavian death metal scene.
With a new line up consisting of Jesper, Johan & Glenn along with two new additions: Anders Fridén on vocals and Björn Gelotte on drums, In Flames signed a license deal with Nuclear Blast Records and soon started recording the follow up: “The Jester Race”.
“The Jester Race” quickly became a big hit all across Europe and Japan.
After the recording of “Whoracle” in 1997 Johan and Glenn decided to leave the band and Peter Iwers (bass) joined. Niklas Engelin (Gardenian, Engel) was temporarily in the band filling in on guitars.
With a fresh line up the band set sails and headed out on tour. Short after a very successful European tour Niklas had to focus on his other projects, and Björn switched from drums to guitar and Daniel Svensson joined the band, and this is the In Flames as we know it today. With the completion of the line up “Colony” was recorded and released in 1999.
“Colony” took In Flames to a new level and the band sold out venues across Europe, USA and Japan and quickly became one of the biggest and most popular Melodic Death Metal acts around.
“Clayman” which was released in 2000 even topped its predecessor and the awards started pouring in and the band kept growing in popularity. In 2001 “The Tokyo Showdown”, In Flames first live album was released, and gave the public and insight to the band’s live competence.
Modern and more mature “Reroute To Remain” (2002) again confirmed the status of In Flames and marked another milestone in their career. Two years later and it was time to take In Flames to a new level. “Soundtrack To Your Escape” did just that and was the logical continuation after “Reroute To Remain”.
In Flames continued to tour the world and documented these escapades, which resulted in the release of the phenomenal DVD/CD package “Used And Abused – In Live We Trust” in 2005.
With an incredibly successful world tour behind them, In Flames recorded the masterpiece “Come Clarity” which was released in March 2006. “Come Clarity” got an amazing reception in the media and has today sold over 400.000 copies worldwide.
The song “Take This Life” from the album is featured on the “Guitar Hero III” game. A game which has been deemed the bestselling video game of all times and has today sold six million copies.
In Flames have sold over 2.3 million albums worldwide to date!!!
In September 2007 In Flames entered IF STUDIOS, in Gothenburg, Sweden, to record what you hold in your hand today. The new album was Recorded and produced by the band together with Daniel Bergstrand (vocals) and Roberto Laghi (Bass, guitar & drums) and mixed by Toby Wright in LA (Metallica, Slayer, Ozzy Osbourne, Kiss, Motley Crue etc) and mixed by Stephen Marcussen at Marcussen mastering studios in LA. With this new album there is no doubt that In Flames will take a step up the ladder towards becoming one of the biggest metal bands of all times.
In Fact, “A Sense Of Purpose” entered charts all over the world incl the band’s highest ever entry on the American Billboard top 200 with an amazing #28. In Canada In Flames achieved the very same thing with a #7 on the Canadian Billboard top 200.
“A Sense Of Purpose” was at the time of release the 7th most sold album in the whole of Europe!
On September 1st 2008 the 2nd Single “Alias” was released digitally via Nuclear Blast Records. The video for the same song was made by Patric Ullaeus and can be watched here www.inflames.com
To date “A Sense Of Purpose” has sold over 275 000 copies worldwide and has been awarded with a gold disc in Sweden.
2008 have been spent touring, starting with a main support slot to Megadeth in North America, followed by breaking the attendance record at the famous Swedish Gröna Lund with 15.500 people in the audience. NO other Swedish artist has ever had that many people at a single show there. Moving on to 18 European summer festivals, in front of a total of 300 000 people. After that the band finished what became In Flames biggest ever European headline tour attended by over 60 000 people ending with 4 completely sold out Swedish shows attracting 13 000 people.
2008 ended in style with the most successful North American Headline tour to date for the band.
2009 started off with IN FLAMES performing live at the Swedish Grammi Awards, the most prestigious of all Swedish awards. The band also won a Grammi for best metal band.
Award #2 for 2009 – P3 Gold award (Swedish National radio) for best Rock/Metal
2009 continued where 2008 left off, with heavy touring: South America, Australia, Japan, Eastern Europe.
On March 25th 2009 the 3rd video taken from “A Sense Of Purpose” premiered on www.myspace.com/inflames – Once again this video is produced and directed by Patric Ullaeus for www.revolver.se – after less than a week the video had an amazing 187 000 plays!!! In this writing moment, the video has had 325 000 plays!!!
On May 21st 2009 “Disconnected” was released on Guitar Hero World Tour as a downloadable track. This is the second In Flames track featured on Guitar Hero. In Flames have previously been featured on Guitar Hero III – Legends Of Rock. The summer of 2009 saw In Flames conquer some of the biggest European festivals leading right into the third Canada/USA tour on this album (2nd Headline tour).
2009 ended in style with the hugely successful Rockstar Taste Of Chaos Tour which the band headlined. In Sweden the band played their biggest ever headline gigs so far in their career. Over three shows more than 19 000 people attended and established In Flames as one of the biggest bands in Sweden, all categories.
In the beginning of 2010 the band took some well deserved time off. Only three shows played over the summer. One of them was Metal Town in Gothenburg where over 25 000 people saw one of the biggest productions in the band’s career. It was well liked. In fact when all 50 000 feet jumped the pier on which the festival is set was set in motion and in its turn it set off the “earthquake alarm” to the nearby bridge because it was moving too much. Now THAT’S a crowd!
In September 2010 In Flames once again entered their own IF Studios together with Daniel Bergstrand and Roberto Laghi to start the recording of the new album. The album is planned for release sometime in the first half of 2011.

love in flames <3
Spill Selv vs Self !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Har såååå lyst til å høre den live!!
Check it out on Spotify:D
Mvh Philip
når skal de spille? hvilken dag? må vite slikt. dere velger jo alltid dårlige datoer :s
@ Phillip: De kommer vel mest sannsynlig aldri til å spille den, siden det er Pendulum sin sang. (Pendulum spilte den på Sonisphere i fjor og i Stockholm nå for ikke så lenge siden, da med Anders som gjestevokalist). Jeg regner med at de kommer til å spille de vanlige “slagerne”, plus en del nytt fra albumet som kommer senere i vår. Gleder meg uansett vilt til dette!
Håper virkelig de skal avslutte festivalen:D ingen kan det bedre enn in flames

Since the YouTube videos are posted at this place same like I also embed YouTube video code at my own web site, for the reason that it is straightforward to obtain embedded code.
Thanks for the suggestions you discuss through this website. In addition, lots of young women who become pregnant do not even make an effort to get health insurance coverage because they are full of fearfulness they might not qualify. Although a few states at this moment require that insurers supply coverage despite the pre-existing conditions. Premiums on most of these guaranteed plans are usually higher, but when taking into consideration the high cost of health care it may be the safer approach to take to protect your financial future.
As a Newbie, I am permanently exploring online for articles that can aid me. Thank you
Pictures are actually fastidious source of lessons instead of wording, its my knowledge, what would you say?

The other day, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a 30 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
