In Flames Discography

In Flames is a Swedish melodic death metal band from the city of Gothenburg. During the years changed and evolved their style through many influences, especially in the last years. Like At the Gates, their heavy influence on the genre 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 guest-singing for vocals. It is with this line-up that they recorded their first album Lunar Strain. Stanne then departed and was replaced by Henke Forss for the album Subterranean, which also included new drummer Daniel Erlandsson. Henke subsequently left the band as well, opening the door for Anders Fridén (who was ironically the vocalist for Dark Tranquillity at the time) for the vocal duties and Bjorn Gelotte on the drums. It was under this new line-up that they signed with Nuclear Blast Records and recorded The Jester Race. This album garnered the band world-wide recognition, especially in Europe and Japan.

The band is perhaps best known to metal fans 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 (which has sold over 110,000 copies in the United States).
