In Flames

In Flames is a Swedish heavy metal band from Gothenburg, formed in 1990. They are considered pioneers of the Gothenburg metal scene, which also includes bands such as At the Gates and Dark Tranquillity. Their lineup has changed several times. Vocalist Anders Fridén and lead guitarist Björn Gelotte are the only consistent members since 1995. Since the departure of Jesper Strömblad in 2010, no original members remain with the band. The band has sold over two million records worldwide. During the band's early years, In Flames had a varying group of recording musicians, including many session musicians. By the release of Colony (1999), the group had a stable lineup. Their sixth studio album, Reroute to Remain (2002), moved toward a newer style further away from melodic death metal and closer to alternative metal. Fans of the group's heavier sound criticized this shift; however, it increased the band's mainstream audience and bolstered album sales. Since the band's inception, In Flames have released fourteen studio albums, three EPs, and two live DVDs. Their latest release was their fourteenth studio album, Foregone, in 2023. In Flames has been nominated for ten Swedish Grammis Awards winning seven of them, including "Hard Rock/Metal Album of the Year" category in 2005 for Soundtrack to Your Escape, 2007 for Come Clarity, 2009 for A Sense of Purpose, and most recently in 2024 for Foregone.
