Artist: In Flames

As you may be aware, In Flames and Trivium are in the midst of a co-headlining tour. But last night's show in Albuquerque, New Mexico (Meth capital of the world!!!) apparently ended prematurely... due to a bomb threat. In Flames guitarist Niclas Engelin said on his Facebook page, "What the fuck is going on!! We just [...]

I don't normally like female fronted metal bands. I don't know why, but besides Joan Jett, and Lzzy Hale, it's just not my cup of tea. Shear has changed my opinion. Their vocalist, Alexa Leroux has a voice that made my jaw drop. She doesn't have a plain operetic voice that so many women in metal fall back on. She has a soaring, guttural, melodic voice that stands out in a scene full of Amy Lee wannabes. Shear is from Finland, one of the best countries in the world for metal. Maybe [...]

Like most people, I have been wondering what the downtime consisted of on last month's Defenders of the Faith tour with Ghost, Trivium, and In Flames. Luckily, Matt Heafy read my mind, so he posted this photo on Twitter the other day. Words cannot describe how awesome this photo is. No word if they actually ...

We love a bit of metal so we went down to Brixton Academy to see Trivium headline Metal Hammer's Defenders of the Faith tour with In Flames, Ghost and Rise To Remain in tow. Insense played as well but they played really, really early and Gary didn't even manage to take photos of them up in Manchester. There are loads of photos. Go click on them and then go visit Gary's website because he's awesome. Six things we figured out whilst watching all the metal in Brixton: [...]

Simply put, I love instrumental music. But I've been asked many times, "How can you listen to that?" There's no lyrics. No voice to tell you the story. Exactly. The instruments tell the story for me; they guide my journey. Half the time I may be hearing a band's vocalist but I'm not necessarily listening to every word he or she says. For me, it's all about the music. "Take away all the vocals and it's still music," I tell people whenever I'm questioned about my love for instrumental rock/metal. I understand that everyone has different tastes [...]

La rencontre d'un de mes groupes préférés de melodic death metal et l'un de mes préférés dans la drum'n'bass se rencontrent... The Qemists qui remixent In Flames cela n'annonce que du bon. Effectivement c'est bon, du gros dubstep, aux basses super lourdes, parfait pour ceux qui aiment headbanger dans les soirées dubstep, toujours avec les [...]

• In Flames - Where the Dead Ships Dwell (The Qemists Remix)

"The '90s were a challenging decade for metal," opens Loudwire writer Joe Robinson. You got that right! '90s nostalgia hasn't firmly set in for metal yet; Limp Bizkit's new record tanked, less people are interested in Korn than ever, and some of the more credible '90s acts from Europe never even stopped to take a [...]

Highly praised heavy metal act In Flames will kick off the New Year with a headlining North American tour. Presented by Full Metal Jackie, In Flames will be joined by notable metal acts TRIVIUM , VEIL OF MAYA and KYNG . Lasting for a little over a month, the tour kicks off January 12, 2012 in Milwaukee, WI and will wrap back around to complete on February 21st in Chicago, IL. A full list of dates can be seen below. In Flames comments, [...]

With the new year approaching, new tours are bound to be announced. Today, a new one featuring In Flames and Trivium co-headlining across North America has been announced! Support on the tour will come from Veil Of Maya and Kyng. This is a huge opportunity for both of those bands. Here are the dates: Jan. ...

I'm going to put about as much effort into this introduction as Clown from Slipknot puts into making sense in interviews. We begin today with Barn Burner's new NSFW video, for the song "Scum of the Earth." Barn Burner played at our CMJ showcase a couple of weeks ago and they absolutely SLAYED - in [...]

Today, October 20, 2011, metal veterans In Flames will be doing an interactive live video chat with fans. At 1:00 PM PDT / 22:00 CET, Peter and Niclas from the band will be chatting on Yowie . At that time, fans can go there (link below) where they will be able to submit text or video questions for the band to answer live on video. In Flames released Sounds Of A Playground Fading [...]

The latest edition of Metal Injection's "Ask the Artist" series - in which various artists are asked one uniform question (See what they did there?) - poses the query "What are the best and worst stage moves in metal?" to various bands that were on this summer's two biggest metal tours - Mayhem Fest and [...]

Last week I wrote a little bit about how a lot of modern production techniques I loathe may actually be aesthetic choices; and I tried to keep that in mind as I attempted to listen to Dead Throne, the latest offering from The Devil Wears Prada. If, for example, the band didn't favor such excessive [...]

Earlier today, we posted a HUGE gallery of Mayhem Fest that we shot at the Holmdel, NJ show last Wednesday. We have a ton of awesome photos of: Megadeth, Trivium, Machine Head, In Flames, Unearth, Suicide Silence, Kingdom of Sorrow, All Shall Perish, Red Fang, Straight Line Stich, Dr. Acula, and a pretty sweet Fans ...

In case the bad joke in my headline didn't give it away, In Flames have dropped off of the remainder of this year's Mayhem Fest. A statement by the group released over the weekend explains that "a serious terminal illness of one the band's immediate family members" is the cause of the cancellation - which [...]

Well, this really sucks for In Flames fans. The band announced over the weekend that they are forced to cancel the remainder of their U.S. appearances on the Rockstar Mayhem Fest due to an illness in one of the band member's families. I'm sure it's not something the band wanted to do, but had no ...

Hey Metalheads! Today is a good day to check out and support In Flames. In Flames is a melodic death metal band from Gothenburg, Sweden. They started in 1990 and since have had 10 releases - the latest being 'Sounds of a Playground Fading' which released June 15 of this year. For news on them, they sadly, have recently announced that they are going to be dropping off Mayhem fest as well as not playing their own US headlining shows due to a band member's family member suffering from a [...]

I was listening to an interview with Sarah Vowell last weekend, in which she proclaimed that, as a writing exercise, she did not allow herself to use any F-bombs in her new book, Unfamiliar Fishes. I decided to do her one better this week - I did not swear at all. Unless you count "crap," [...]

Banner Designed by Cysquatch Welcome to "Question of the Week," a (not really at all) weekly debate amongst the MetalSucks staff regarding a recent hot button issue. We haven't done one one of these all summer, but we came up with a fun one for this week: IF YOU COULD GO BACK IN TIME AND [...]
