Swedish metal powerhouse IN FLAMES have released a new lyric video for the new re-recorded version of “Bullet Ride,” that’s featured on their upcoming “Clayman (20th Anniversary Edition)” out on August 28th from Nuclear Blast.
Celebrating the 2-decade milestone of their critically acclaimed breakthrough, IN FLAMES recently released the “Clayman 2020″ bonus tracks, which include 4 newly re-recorded tracks and a new instrumental that are available now on all digital and streaming services via Nuclear Blast. Listen here: https://geni.us/InFlamesClayman2020
»Clayman 20th Anniversary Edition« comes entirely remastered by Ted Jensen (PANTERA, DEFTONES, GOJIRA) and features all new artwork in a 16-page booklet, a brand-new instrumental medley plus 4 re-recorded versions of fan-favorites such as ‘Only For The Weak’ and ‘Pinball Map’. Re-recorded songs were produced by Howard Benson (MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE, MOTÖRHEAD) and mixed by Chris Lord-Alge (GREEN DAY, ROB ZOMBIE). The record will be released digitally as well as on CD Digipak and a 2xLP colored vinyl packaged in a deluxe trifold that includes an oversized booklet, 11 remastered tracks on a 12” record and 5 bonus tracks on a 10” record in a printed sleeve.
FROM ASHES TO NEW are proud to debut a new version of “Scars That I’m Hiding” that was created for the soundtrack for the Better Noise Films release, THE RETALIATORS (out on-demand in late October 2020). With guest vocals from Anders Fridén of IN FLAMES, this version of “Scars That I’m Hiding” is the newest focus track from THE RETALIATORS Original Motion Picture Soundtrack. A version without Fridén’s vocals will be included on the band’s upcoming release entitled PANIC, due out 8/28/2020.
Of the track and film, frontman Matt Brandyberry says “There is nothing more bad-ass than being able to act alongside so many talented artists and THE RETALIATORS gave us that opportunity! As kids we grew up with dreams to be musicians and actors and we are beyond grateful to be able to bring both dreams to fruition through this project. We can’t help but feel that all of this is building the hype we know our new album “Panic” deserves. This is only the beginning for what FATN is about to do!”
The video for “Scars That I’m Hiding” (feat Anders Fridén of IN FLAMES) features the members of FROM ASHES TO NEW, Anders and footage from the upcoming film. Horror spectacular THE RETALIATORS will star, among many other prominent rockers, the members of FROM ASHES TO NEW. The film revolves around a single father and local pastor, John Bishop (Michael Lombardi – Rescue Me) who serves as a righteous role model for his faithful flock and his two daughters. When tragedy strikes, Detective Jed Sawyer (Marc Menchaca – Ozark) offers him a secret chance for vengeance, forcing not only a reckoning with himself, but the unleashing of a terrifying underground horror. Also featured in the film are members of Mötley Crüe, Five Finger Death Punch and Papa Roach among others.
Critically acclaimed vocalist, Anders Fridén of the band IN FLAMES explains of the collaboration “We’ve had the pleasure of touring with From Ashes To New a few times, so I was excited when they asked me to do a feature on their new song. The end result sounds awesome. Can’t wait to hit the road together again hopefully soon.”
The title track to the band’s 3rd full length release, “Panic,” has hit the Top 20 at active rock radio. FROM ASHES TO NEW is no stranger to great success at the format with their previous single “Crazy” off 2018’s THE FUTURE. “Panic” has amassed over 1.5 Million streams and 1 Million video views in less than a month. The song has been featured on playlists like Rock Hard, Adrenaline Workout, New Metal Tracks, Kickass Metal, Metal Charge 180 BPM and Rock Rotation on Spotify as well as Apple’s Breaking Hard Rock playlist.
PANIC features the same lineup as the band’s 2018’s breakthrough release The Future — vocalists Brandyberry and Danny Case as well as guitarist Lance Dowdle and drummer Matt Madiro. Brandyberry credits the undeniable musical magnetism of these eleven songs to the enduring lineup. “The chemistry between us is there and fans who have seen us recently have been very vocal about the fact that we are firing on all cylinders.” That unified feeling which was solidified on the road performing songs like the Billboard-charting single “Crazy,” enabling the band to further refine their sound and move creatively to the next level. “We know what our vision is and we know what we want to do, so we were able to really accomplish that on this album because the structure is there,” he adds.
Swedish metal powerhouse IN FLAMES have revealed a new trailer today for their upcoming “Clayman (20th Anniversary Edition)” that’s due out on August 28th from Nuclear Blast. In their latest video Anders Fridén and Björn Gelotte discuss their decision and process for re-recording fan favorites from the groundbreaking album.

Going back into the studio to re-record some of the original tracks took us right back in time to when we first recorded them. Every detail of the new artwork and visuals was deeply thought out keeping in mind what the Jesterheads would want to see most. This one’s for you. Thank you for 20 years of »Clayman«.”

Legendary Swedish visionaries IN FLAMES released theirthirteenth studio album, titledI, The Mask via Better Noise Music in North America on March 1, 2019.The standard version is available HERE on digital and on deluxe CD. A year later, on Friday, March 6, 2020, the band released an 8-Bit version of the album in conjunction with the anniversary and announce of a limited edition Jesterhead figurine, available March 20th. The long awaited figurine features the band’s longtime mascot and highlight of the album’s artwork, the Jesterhead. Pre-order your Jesterhead with a limited edition anniversary tee HERE. The band also recently announced a North American tour with MEGADETH and LAMB OF GOD, which will take them through the US and Canada from June to November via two legs.
The original 12-track album features a range of the band’s signature sound starting with the first track, “Voices” setting the tone with prominent guitar riffs and loud vocals that reflect their heavy roots on singles, “I, The Mask,” and “I Am Above”. Amassing over 21 Million streams in its first year, I The Mask turned heads charting #1 in Sweden and Austria, and #2 in Germany while simultaneously topping both iTunes Metal & Rock charts around the World.
As one of the few remaining bands responsible for constructing the genre that is melodic death metal, it is no secret that In Flames’ instrumentals are beautifully crafted pieces that are equally as heavy as they are catchy. The format of Chiptune, otherwise known as 8-bit music, goes above and beyond in highlighting these memorable licks, making them the centerpiece of the arrangement. After releasing a short clip of ‘The End’, a single off their 12th studio album ‘Battles’, in Chiptune format via the band’s social media, fan reaction made it clear that there was a demand for In Flames’ 8-bit compositions.
The original record reunited them with multi GRAMMY nominated producer Howard Benson (My Chemical Romance, Motörhead) who also produced 2016’s Battles. Additionally, the album is mixed by GRAMMY award winning mixer, Chris Lord-Alge (Cheap Trick, Linkin Park) and mastered by GRAMMY award mastering engineer, Ted Jensen (Pantera, Eagles, Guns N’ Roses).
