IN FLAMES

Formed in Gothenburg in 1990, In Flames are pioneers of the melodic death metal movement that reshaped heavy music in the ’90s. With their signature blend of aggression, melody, and emotional depth, they helped define the “Gothenburg sound.” Over three decades, they’ve sold millions of albums and headlined the biggest metal festivals worldwide. Founding members Anders Fridén and Björn Gelotte have guided the band through constant reinvention without ever losing their edge. Their evolution from raw death metal to a more modern, melodic metal sound has inspired countless bands. The 2023 album Foregone marked a return to their roots while embracing new sonic territories. Known for their explosive live energy and precision, In Flames continue to push metal forward. Their influence spans generations, from underground fans to global mainstream audiences. Few bands balance intensity and melody quite like In Flames — true veterans still at the top of their game.
