IN FLAMES Catalog Finds New North American Home At GOOD FIGHT MUSIC
November 17, 2010Good 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 now have been unavailable in the marketplace, will be back on music retailers' shelves and available at digital stores (iTunes) starting on Monday, November 22, 2010. This new venture will once again reunite the band with the team that released and marketed their 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.
IN FLAMES has cemented is iconic status as one of the preeminent heavy metal bands throughout the world. They pioneered a signature sound that forged extreme metal with melody and powerful hooks. Their prolific writing and continual global touring has amassed countless fans and worldwide album sales of over 2.5 million. Starting Monday, November 22, just in time for the holiday rush, the North American metal community can once again lay claim to their all time favorite IN FLAMES albums:
* The Jester Race
* Whoracle
* Colony
* Clayman
* Reroute to Remain
* Soundtrack to Your Escape
* Used and Abused….In Live We Trust (double disc DVD)
IN FLAMES recently entered the band's own IF studios in Gothenburg, Sweden with engineer Roberto Laghi (HARDCORE SUPERSTAR, LOK, SONIC SYNDICATE) to begin recording its new album for a tentative May/June 2011 release. According to the band, "The plan is to spend the remaining part of 2010 and the beginning of 2011 creating and recording the follow-up to 'A Sense Of Purpose'."
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.
IN FLAMES's latest album, "A Sense of Purpose" (2008),shifted 20,000 copies in the United States during its first week of release. This was slightly less than the opening tally of "Come Clarity" (Ferret),which sold just under 24,000 copies in February 2006 to debut at position No. 58.
