IN FLAMES stands as one of the premier metal bands worldwide, continuously pushing artistic boundaries with music that blends catchiness and crushing intensity. Since their formation in 1990, they've been pivotal in defining melodic death metal and pioneering the ‘Gothenburg sound’. Their influence in shaping the Gothenburg metal scene laid the foundation for modern metal and has inspired bands like Trivium, Killswitch Engage, Bury Tomorrow, Children Of Bodom, and countless others. With a discography boasting fourteen studio albums, IN FLAMES has embarked on countless successful global tours alongside giants such as Black Sabbath, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Judas Priest, and Slayer. Their records have sold millions worldwide, solidifying their status as an unstoppable force in metal.

Since their debut album Lunar Strain in 1994, IN FLAMES has refined their signature sound characterized by intricate twin guitar harmonies, melodic vocals, and impeccable arrangements that have evolved over the years.

In 2023, IN FLAMES entered a new era with the release of their fourteenth studio album, Foregone, showcasing their continued creative evolution and impact on modern metal. The year also saw the reissue of four seminal albums from their catalog: A Sense of Purpose (2008) (15th Anniversary Edition), Reroute to Remain (2002), Come Clarity (2006), and Sounds of a Playground Fading (2011).

Looking ahead to 2024, IN FLAMES continues their momentum with the reissue of four more influential albums: Lunar Strain (30th Anniversary), Colony (25th Anniversary), Soundtrack to Your Escape (20th Anniversary), and Siren Charms (10th Anniversary). These highly sought-after albums, which have been out of print, will return with all original artwork meticulously enhanced. Each release has been remastered specifically for vinyl by Justin Shturtz at Sterling Sound Studio in Nashville, Tennessee. Pressed on heavyweight 180g vinyl, each record will feature distinctive colorways and the iconic Jesterhead logo etched on side D (e.g., Lunar Strain & Colony), celebrating IN FLAMES' enduring legacy and dedication to their craft
