IN FLAMES are one of the biggest metal bands in the world - never shying away from pushing their artistic boundaries,
crafting music that's as catchy as it is crushing. Formed in 1990, the band is considered one of the forefathers of melodic
death metal and the purveyors of the ‘Gothenburg sound'. Their integral role in developing the scene in Gothenburg set
the blueprint for what is now considered modern metal and inspired the likes of Trivium, Killswitch Engage, Bury
Tomorrow, Children Of Bodom, and countless other artists. With fourteen studio albums now under their belt, countless
successful tours around the globe playing with the likes of Black Sabbath, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Judas
Priest and Slayer - with millions of records sold and a massive fanbase worldwide, IN FLAMES have proven to be an
unstoppable force. From their 1994 debut Lunar Strain onwards, the band's intricate twin guitar attack, melodic vocals and
superb arrangements have given them a signature sound that has evolved throughout the years.
2023 marked the beginning of a new era for IN FLAMES with the release of the band's fourteenth studio
album Foregone - a new masterpiece from a band whose creative output changed the course and direction of modern
metal. The year also marked the re-issue of four seminal titles from the band’s extensive catalogue, namely A Sense of
Purpose (2008) (15th Anniversary Edition), Reroute to Remain (2002), Come Clarity (2006), and Sounds of a Playground
Fading (2011).
To continue the upwards tide, 2024 marks the re-issue of four more influential titles: Lunar Strain (30 th Anniversary),
Colony (25 th Anniversary), Soundtrack to Your Escape (20 th Anniversary) and Siren Charms (10 th Anniversary), all of which
have been out of print and in high demand.
The 2024 reissues feature all original art with a few, careful touch-ups. All releases have been re-mastered specific for
vinyl by Justin Shturtz at the legendary Sterling Sound Studio in Nashville, Tennessee. Featuring different colourways, all
the records will be pressed on heavyweight 180g vinyl and will feature the instantly recognisable etching of the Jesterhead
logo on side D (ex. Lunar Strain & Colony).
