In Flames julkaisi tänään uuden singlen – albumi helmikuussa

Ruotsalainen metallijätti In Flames julkaisee odotetun 14. albuminsa ”Foregone” 10. helmikuuta Nuclear Blastin kautta. Levyltä on lohkaistu aiemmin singlet ”State Of Slow Decay”, ”The Great Deceiver”, “Foregone Pt. 1” sekä “Foregone Pt. 2”, joita kuultiin myös yhtyeen keikalla Helsingin Jäähallissa viime joulukuussa. Tänään jatkoa seuraa uudella singlellä ”Meet Your Maker”. Yhtyeen keulahahmo Anders Fridén kertoo kappaleesta seuraavaa:

“When we started to write for Foregone, Meet Your Maker became the song that set the tone in terms of what we were aiming for sonically as well as thematically. You’ll see it’s everything you’ve come to expect from In Flames and more. Enjoy and see you on the road in 2023!”

In Flames edustaa metallin parhaimmistoa – yhtye yhdistelee taidokkaasti musiikissaan menneisyyttä, nykyhetkeä ja tulevaisuutta. Ruotsalaisen deathmetallin uuden aallon innovaattoreina ja groovaavan melodian tarjoajina yhtyeen taiteellisuus ja vaikutus genreen on kiistaton.

”Going into the Foregone sessions, we wanted to make a record that was heavily guitar-driven, and that had a strong foundation between the bass and drums. We still approached our songwriting the same way, as we always have, as a juxtaposition between melody and aggression. That’s the DNA of our music. From the lyrical end of things, there was no shortage of inspiration to draw from, especially the concept of time”

”Humanity as a whole was forced to slow down and take breather. In that break, many of us spent time evaluating and reprioritizing. Time is a constant, but what do we do with it and how we perceive it varies. Especially now looking at where the world seems to be headed faster than ever before.”

”It’s crazy that after everything we are still here and on our fourteenth album. I feel that we’ve found a great balance between the past, the present and the future with Forgone. This is a new era of In Flames!”
