A few weeks ago, the New Wave of Swedish Death Metal architects IN FLAMES announced their fourteenth studio album, Foregone, with the immense single ‘Foregone Pt. 1’. Today, the band pick up the threads releasing ‘Foregone Pt. 2’!
The new song arrives just in time for the band’s huge upcoming tour,  that launches on November 12th in Tallin, Estonia. IN FLAMES will be supported on the road by AT THE GATES, IMMINENCE and ORBIT CULTURE.

Frontman Anders Fridén states, “While revisiting songs in our catalog like Moonshield and Gyroscope, I felt we hadn’t done that style for awhile. We wanted honor those types of songs which incorporates the Swedish folk vibe, but bring it to the current era of In flames. Musically and lyrically it is a continuation of Foregone.”

Last weekend, Sweden’s foremost metal legends tore down the stage at SLIPKNOT’s German KNOTFEST edition with their world-renowned live show. IN FLAMES continue to surprise their fans with a new offering of their mindblowing skills: Gothenburg’s finest release a brand-new track titled ‘The Great Deceiver’ – a crushing piece of high-class modern metal, carving IN FLAMES’ unique mark deep into the current scene’s foundations.

Together with ‘The Great Deceiver’, IN FLAMES announce their return to the European stages with an extensive tour in late 2022 supported by AT THE GATES, IMMINENCE and ORBIT CULTURE. All tour dates can be found below.

The band states:
“The Great Deceiver was born out of frustration, basically a reaction to false flags but since then it has grown to represent several meanings. There’s a line that says “Bend the truth to fit your opinion” and I feel that speaks a lot to the narrative happening online, between people, and nations etc. today. We are more a part now than ever before yet it’s easier to communicate than in any other time in history.”

Today, two international metal heavyweights celebrate an extension of their alliance: Swedish metal legends IN FLAMES have re-signed with NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS –
extending their partnership on a worldwide level. As one of the most influential metal bands of all time, the news foreshadows some exciting plans for the Gothenburg legends, soon to be rolled out.

Marcus Hammer, the managing director of Nuclear Blast, states:
“We are extremely happy to welcome In Flames back into the NBR family on a worldwide basis. Here’s the message to the Metal world:  A new Metal masterpiece is about to drop and you can guarantee there is no decay visible. Quite the contrary; In Flames and Nuclear Blast will kill it together – once again and stronger than ever!“

Nathan Barley Phillips, Senior A&R, comments:
“As a dedicated long-serving Jesterhead myself, it gives me great pleasure to represent In Flames as they embark on this exciting new chapter of their illustrious career. I cannot wait for you all to hear what this incredible band have in store!”

Following this groundbreaking news, IN FLAMES have today released a crushing new single titled ‘State Of Slow Decay’. The song, which was premiered live at Sweden Rock festival, comes accompanied by a video that features the band performing their new track on an unconventional stage.

Anders Fridén adds on ‘State Of Slow Decay’:
“We have always done our own thing without any pressure from the outside world, BUT being back with Nuclear Blast worldwide has for sure inspired us to write a host of new material that includes the past, the present and the future. ‘State of Slow Decay’ includes everything that In Flames are known for, but it’s more than just a song, it’s a fucking statement. I couldn’t be happier to release this as a taste of what’s to come.“

IN FLAMES is 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.’ With thirteen studio albums under their belt, countless successful tours around the globe playing with the likes of METALLICA, IRON MAIDEN, MEGADETH and AVENGED SEVENFOLD – 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.
