IN FLAMES Challenges Fans in EA Sports 2006 FIFA World Cup

October 7, 2006

Throughout the course of their upcoming European tour, Swedish metal titans IN FLAMES have come up with a very special way to pass time: A duel with a specially selected group of fans on a number of tour dates. The weapon of choice is EA Sports 2006 FIFA World Cup on the Xbox360.

In select cities, two fans will be able to meet their idols and challenge them to a game on the Xbox360. Any lucky fans who manage to beat the IN FLAMES boys will be in line for some exciting prizes! Applications should be sent to: [email protected]; subject: INFLAMESXBOX (Be sure you state your desired tour location). Applicants under 18 will not be considered.

As previously reported, IN FLAMES' latest album, "Come Clarity", has sold more than 100,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

"Come Clarity", the highly influential band's debut for Ferret Music, took the hard rock community by storm upon its release, debuting at #58 on the Billboard Top 200 with first week sales of nearly 25,000 copies. The highest charting record in both the band and label's sales history, "Come Clarity" has met to widespread critical acclaim and solidified IN FLAMES' place as leaders of the modern day heavy music movement. IN FLAMES is also seeing success at radio with the launch of the first U.S. commercial campaign in the band's storied history. Active Rock stations across the country have been adding the new single "Come Clarity" to their playlists, with early adds from tastemaker stations WJJO (Madison, WI),KFRQ (McAllen, TX) and great support from KMYZ (Tulsa, OK) and XM Radio leading the charge. These are the first commercial radio adds ever for IN FLAMES, and also a first for Ferret Music. "Come Clarity" showcases the powerful songwriting that IN FLAMES is known for, as well as the band's crossover potential, incorporating acoustic guitars, impassioned vocals and a bombastic chorus.

On the heels of the new single's release, IN FLAMES has announced December 2006 North American headlining dates. The IN FLAMES tour will feature support from LACUNA COIL and more and is slated to kick off on December 5 in Norfolk, VA. The band will shortly hit the road alongside SLAYER and LAMB OF GOD as part of the 2006 "Unholy Alliance" Europe trek.
