Bandit Rock, the biggest rock radio station in Sweden, will air its morning show live from IN FLAMES‘ IF Studios in Gothenburg the week of January 10-14, 2011 while the band is recording its new album. Fans can expect to hear interviews with bandmembers (in Swedish) and a lot of surprises.  For more information, visit Bandit.se.

IN FLAMES is recording its new CD with engineer Roberto Laghi (HARDCORE SUPERSTAR, LOK, SONIC SYNDICATE). A tentative May/June 2011 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 in order to continue receiving treatment for his alcohol addiction. The band spent the last few months touring the world with Strömblad‘s temporary replacement, Niclas Engelin from the Swedish band ENGEL. Engelin had helped IN FLAMES on a couple of occasions in the past and is no stranger to the band’s songs or the touring life.
