Gothenburg-based metal heavyweights IN FLAMES surprise fans with a four-track covers EP “Down, Wicked & No Good” out now on streaming platforms worldwide during SOLD OUT hometown show at the Ericsson Globe in Stockholm, Sweden. Get your download here: http://nblast.de/IFDownWickedNoGood

To debut their cover of DEPECHE MODE’s 1997 hit single ‘It’s No Good’, IN FLAMES are taking over DEPECHE MODE’s Facebook page today starting at 13:00 CET, releasing exclusive content and a new video for the song – watch it here:

The panoptic covers collection also includes IN FLAMES‘ versions of ALICE IN CHAINS’ ‘Down In A Hole,’ CHRIS ISAAK’s ‘Wicked Game,’ and a live bonus version of NINE INCH NAILS’ ‘Hurt’. It sees the Swedish quintet expanding beyond metal to incorporate the group’s varied musical taste and expansive sonic range.

“We’ve been fans of DEPECHE MODE since we were as young as 10. Getting to do our rendition of ‘It’s No Good’ showed us a different side of the song – it brought new meanings to us. We relate to the lyrics and power of the song so heavily that it almost feels as if we could have written it ourselves. They’re a band that we’ve always looked up to. Growing up, you either listened to Pop, Synths or Rock and even though we are a metal band, DEPECHE MODE inspired a lot of the electronic elements we use in our music today.”

LiveNation presents the tour. German tour dates will be presented by LiveNation and Wizard Promotions.

FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH guitarist Zoltán Báthory states:
“We are currently playing all the European festivals and are having an amazing time. As these massive crowds are singing along every word of the lyrics, it feels like Europe is truly becoming the second home of FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH. We can’t wait to come back this Fall and especially with IN FLAMES which is one of my favorite bands. This will be something special to see…”

IN FLAMES singer Anders Fridén offers:
“We’ve been lucky to play for so many Jesterheads around the World this year and can’t think of a better way to end 2017 than touring Europe with FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH. We’ll see you soon Jesterheads and Knuckleheads. It’s going to be a tour to remember.”

Support on select EU dates and all UK dates of the tour comes from OF MICE AND MEN. The Orange County, CA-based band recently returned with two brand new songs, ‘Back To Me’ and ‘Unbreakable’. Both FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH and IN FLAMES remain leaders of hard rock and heavy music worldwide: FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH‘s crushingly epic 2015 sixth full-length studio album »Got your Six« hit new heights for the band around the world with chart-topping debuts in the US (#1 on Top Album chart, #1 on Overall Digital Album chart, #1 on the Hard Music Album chart, #2 on the Billboard Top 200) and internationally (Australia & Canada #3, Germany & Sweden #5, UK #6 Holland #17, Belgium #29 and France #32).

12 albums into their storied career, IN FLAMES reached new heights on 2016’s »Battles« – produced by GRAMMY Award winner Howard Benson [My Chemical Romance, Papa Roach], hitting Top 10 charts around the world with a #2 in Sweden, #3 in Finland and multiple other major countries such as Germany and Austria. Alternative Press, Metal Hammer, and more praised the record as the hit ‘The End’ clocked over 6.6 million Spotify streams and counting. Most recently, they unleashed two new official music videos for their latest singles; first being ‘Here Until Forever’ in May via Decibel and ‘Save Me’ via European retail giant EMP, today upon announcement of the tour. Watch ‘Save Me’ here:
