In Flames streams new song from EP


In Flames influential Swedish metal band IN FLAMES have released a limited edition EP featuring the roll out single "The Mirror's Truth" off the quintet's critically-acclaimed full length release, A Sense of Purpose. Also included on the EP are the previously unreleased tracks "Eraser," "Tilt" and "Abnegation."

IN FLAMES are one of the pioneers of what has become known as "the Gothenburg sound" (also referred to as "melodic death metal") and have influenced scores of metal/hard rock acts since their formation in 1990. The band has won three Swedish Grammis Awards (equivalent to Grammy Awards) and shifted nearly 2,000,000 albums over the course
of their distinguished career.

IN FLAMES' ninth studio full-length, A Sense of Purpose, debuted at #28 on Billboard's Top 200 and shifted over 20,000 units in its first week of release this past April, marking it as the highest charting record in the band's sales history. Recorded at the band's IF Studios in Gothenburg, Sweden and mixed by Toby Wright (Metallica, Slayer), A Sense of Purpose merges the band's ambitious, forward thinking songwriting with the familiar harmonized lead guitar melodies that have populated previous IN FLAMES albums.
