In Flames represent the best of metal's past, present, and future. In Flames are as vital and even more energized today than when they unleashed classics like Come Clarity and Clayman in decades past.
The band built a stunning reputation with devastating, crowd-moving, inspired performances around the world at every major rock and metal festival imaginable, headlining multiple treks, and touring with the likes of Slipknot, Megadeth, Judas Priest, Killswitch Engage, Within Temptation, and Lamb Of God. They regularly headline some of the biggest stages and festivals in the world.
Foregone, the furious fourteenth studio album, combines the greatest aggressive, metallic, and melodic strengths of their landmark records with the seasoned songwriting of their postmodern era.
The melodic guitars, crushing riffs, and high-speed tempos that define much of the In Flames catalog first crystalized on their second album, The Jester Race (1996), complete with hints of the catchy choruses to come. Whoracle (1997) is the rawest and arguably heaviest In Flames album from the 90s. Metal Hammer declared melodeath masterpiece Colony (1999) "an undisputed fireball of an album."
Clayman (2000) introduced synths and more prominent clean vocals, without sacrificing the band's intensity. Reroute to Remain (2002) took the groove element further. Soundtrack to Your Escape (2004) expanded the rock bombast. Come Clarity (2006) is a perfect metalcore slab. A Sense of Purpose (2008) delivered some of the band's best and most eclectic songs. The gothic groove metal of Sounds of a Playground Fading (2011) paved the way for the unapologetic Active Rock hooks of Siren Charms (2014) and Battles (2016). Fans of the aggressive side of In Flames praised I, the Mask (2019). Foregone masterfully, if improbably, manages to serve all sides of the In Flames fanbase, with powerful force.
A sense of pride, accomplishment, and continued vitality are evident every time the band takes the stage, and all over Foregone. Melodic death metal pioneers and innovative purveyors of groove, the artistry, influence, stature, and future of In Flames loom as large as the heavy metal horizon itself.
Lots of old stuff as well as new. Well worth the trip!
When In Flames opened with Cloud Connected, I knew this was going to be one hell of a ride! And then it just kept getting better, with the relentless and mesmerizing sounds that only these guys from Sweden can produce..\m/ In Flames We Trust \m/
They were great live, and all of them were good on stage. Funny and very talented guys.
Every band was great loved the show. Water was very exspensive, otherwise had an awesome time, all the bands put on a great show. Would go again.
I loved this show. It was exceptionally energetic, In Flames played many of their best songs, and hell, even the supporting bands were great.
Great Concert. I had a great time and it was good to see them again. It could have been a bit louder, and maybe a bit crisper, but still very good and fun.
The band is so humble and crowd oriented they love there fans its feels like as much as the fans love there music and what they do they always give it 110% and make the night unforgettable its not a concert its a Experience and i will see them again and again and again every chance i get thank you in flames ! for another amazing show, its shows like this that make life worth it and no matter how many struggles or hard times it makes me glad im still alive
In Flames always delivers! And they're always flawless!
hands down these guys deliver a A+ show. every time. i've never been disappointed and this was my 5th show of theirs to see.
OMG incredible. So worth the 3 hour night of sleep! In Flames always puts on a flawless show. Backed by Between The Buried and Me, 3 Inches of Blood, and The Faceless (get there early, they start @ 7:30 and only play for 30 minutes).
In Flames is the metal beast, incredible live and on cd. I've been to their shows every time they have been to the USA since 2006 and they BLOW MY MIND!!
