Swedish metallers IN FLAMES have finished recording their new album at the band’s IF Studios in Gothenburg. The group states, “Mixing is taking place right now and we are very happy with the result.”

IN FLAMES‘s new CD was recorded with engineer Roberto Laghi (HARDCORE SUPERSTAR, LOK, SONIC SYNDICATE). A tentative May/June release is expected.

Good Fight Music is the new North American label home for the classic IN FLAMES catalog, starting with “The Jester Race” through “Soundtrack To Your Escape”. These titles, which until recently were unavailable in the marketplace, were put back on music retailers’ shelves and made available at digital stores (iTunes) on November 22, 2010. This new venture reunited the band with the team that released and marketed IN FLAMES’ biggest commercial success in the United States — “Come Clarity”. It was Good Fight’s current team at the helm of Ferret Music when “Come Clarity” was released in 2006. The album became a benchmark in their career and further cemented the band’s lofty place in the ranks of heavy metal’s elite.

Guitarist Jesper Strömblad quit IN FLAMES in February 2010 in order to continue receiving treatment for his alcohol addiction. The band spent a few months touring the world with Strömblad’s temporary replacement, Niclas Engelin from the Swedish band ENGEL.
