In Flames - Working On New Material

The following message was posted by the In Flames' Webmaster on the band's official website:

A couple of days ago Björn called me and said that In Flames are in the studio and recording three new demo songs. The plan is to do the whole pre production on their own.

Yesterday Daniel finalised the last song on the drums and right now Björn and Jesper is recording the guitars.

There is big excitement in the band right now, they are back in their own studio (IF studios) for the pre production and eventually recording the next record. Next, the festival in Dubai, witch is unbroken territory for In Flames. Then get back on the road to do the Norway/Sweden tour.

Be sure to keep an eye on the band photo section of the site. It will be updated frequently during the next couple of days.

In Flames - Announce Second Live Session Guitarist

Swedish Melo-Death powerhouse In Flames have announced their touring line up containing a second session guitarist for their upcoming headlining North American tour with Lacuna Coil, The Sword and Seemless. The band has posted the following message on their official website:

"For the upcoming US-tour Björn will be sitting out as his wife is due to give birth to their second child. Substituting on guitar will be our good friend Henrik Danhage from Evergrey.
As previously reported: Jesper is taking the rest of the year off due to personal reasons, on which he will comment later on, and Niklas Engelin (Engel/Passenger) is filling in for him until Dec 20:th.
We´ve all heard the speculations and rumours and we want to put a stop to it here and now: NO, In Flames are not breaking up! NO, Jesper or Björn are NOT quitting the band!
We simply didn´t want to disappoint anyone so all shows that were booked prior to these circumstances will be done with the above named session guitarists. We apologize for any inconvenience and hope that you will understand and support us.
New shows/tours are being booked for next year as we speak, featuring the 5 of us (Anders, Björn, Peter, Daniel & Jesper).
So stop worrying/speculating/gossiping and we´ll see you all very soon.

Cheers
Anders, Björn, Peter, Daniel & Jesper"

In Flames - New Album on the Way

"12 songs have been written so far and we're all extremely excited. Hopefully both old and new members of the IF-family will be pleased. Daniel will begin tracking drums in about 2 weeks and at the end of May we will have a new album finished. We'll keep you updated about what's going on in the studio.

As you know by now we're on Ozzfest this summer and it looks like a great bill this year with lots of METAL bands. Great to see that our friends in Soilwork, Haunted and Arch Enemy will be there with us to spread the Swedish sound. Can't wait to see you all in the dust and the heating sun.

Cheers

In Flames"
