Swedish metal powerhouse IN FLAMES is gearing up to conquer the U.S. with a spring headlining tour, accompanied by special guests GATECREEPER and CREEPING DEATH
The formidable lineup promises to deliver skull-crushing performances, igniting the journey on May 1 in Portland, Maine, and concluding the sonic assault on May 26 in Dallas, Texas.
Commenting on the tour, IN FLAMES vocalist Anders Fridén says: “We are very excited to have these two killer bands, GATECREEPER and CREEPING DEATH, on this run. I foresee a night of huge riffs, blast beats, headbanging, moshpitting, people losing their minds and more. Come on down, lets have a good time!!!”
GATECREEPER frontman Chase Mason adds: “We are very excited to tour with IN FLAMES. We have been fans for a long time and got the opportunity to meet and play with the band last summer. IN FLAMES has been a huge influence on our newer material and hitting the road with them after working on our record is an ideal scenario for us.”
General on-sale will be Friday, January 26 at 10 a.m. EST. Get pre-sale info at this location.
IN FLAMES persists in touring to champion its latest sonic creation, “Foregone,” unleashed to the world in February 2023 through Nuclear Blast. Described in a press release as an album that “combines the greatest aggressive, metallic, and melodic strengths of their landmark records with the seasoned songwriting of their postmodern era.”
“Foregone” marked the second collaboration with drummer Tanner Wayne and the debut with former MEGADETH guitarist Chris Broderick, and the third partnership with Grammy-winning producer Howard Benson (known for his work with MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE and THREE DAYS GRACE). At the helm of engineering at Benson‘s West Valley Recording Studios was Mike Plotnikoff (credited on projects like ALL THAT REMAINS and WARBRINGER). Mixing duties were expertly handled by Joe Rickard (known for his work with 10 YEARS, STARSET, and DIAMANTE), who also manned the drums for IN FLAMES from 2016 to 2019.
In a significant lineup change last year, IN FLAMES bid farewell to bassist Bryce Paul and welcomed Liam Wilson (formerly of THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN) into the fold. The ever-evolving ensemble is set to bring their dynamic sound and relentless energy to captivated audiences across the United States.
