Nuclear Blast proudly announce the signing of Swedish metal icons In Flames for the world ex-North America and Scandinavia. Formed in 1990, the band are considered one of the forefathers of melodic death metal and the purveyors of the ‘Gothenburg sound’. With eleven studio albums released, countless successful tours around the globe, millions of records sold and a massive fanbase worldwide, In Flames have proven to be an unstoppable force in heavy music. From their 1994 debut ‘Lunar Strain’ to the most recent ‘Siren Charms’ (2014), the band’s intricate twin guitar attack, melodic vocals and superb arrangements have given them a signature sound that has evolved throughout the years.
‘In a way, In Flames and Nuclear Blast share a similar story’, said In Flames vocalist Anders Fridén. ‘Both started in a garage in Europe, both love metal and both have grown a lot bigger over the years. For these reasons, it seemed a natural fit to come back to the place it all started.’
Currently, the band are working on the release of a new live DVD. Stay tuned for more details!
