In Flames

In Flames is a Swedish Melodic Death Metal band from the city of Gothenburg. While it is questionable whether they were the creators of the genre, their heavy influence on it is not disputed.

In Flames' line-up underwent constant changes throughout their early career. Their first stable line-up was composed by the founding members Jesper Strömblad, Johan Larsson and Glenn Ljungström, with Mikael Stanne on vocals. With this line-up, they proceeded to record the album Lunar Strain, but Stanne left the band after the release and joined Dark Tranquillity, and he was replaced by Henke Forss, and the drummer Daniel Erlandsson, and they made the album Subterranean. But Henke left the band, too, so Anders Fridén was set on the vocals and Bjorn Gelotte on the drums, and they recorded The Jester Race, which made the band known to the world, especially in Europe and Japan.

Among fans of Death Metal, In Flames is perhaps best known for their albums The Jester Race, Whoracle, Colony and Clayman. However, the group came to mainstream attention with Reroute to Remain, Soundtrack To Your Escape and their most recent studio album Come Clarity.
