IN FLAMES has just released the official music video for the brand new song, “State Of Slow Decay“. You can check it out below.
The band performed the track — which was produced by Howard Benson, mixed by Joe Rickard and mastered by Ted Jensen — live for the first time during its concert on Friday (June 10) at the Sweden Rock Festival in Sölvesborg, Sweden.
IN FLAMES singer Anders Fridén states about the song: “We have always done our own thing without any pressure from the outside world. But being back with Nuclear Blast worldwide has for sure inspired us to write a host of new material that includes the past, the present and the future. ‘State Of Slow Decay‘ includes everything that IN FLAMES are known for, but it’s more than just a song, it’s a fucking statement. I couldn’t be happier to release this as a taste of what’s to come.”
IN FLAMES has just re-signed with Nuclear Blast Records, extending the partnership on a worldwide level.
Marcus Hammer, the managing director of Nuclear Blast, states: “We are extremely happy to welcome IN FLAMES back into the NBR family on a worldwide basis. Here’s the message to the metal world: A new metal masterpiece is about to drop and you can guarantee there is no decay visible. Quite the contrary: IN FLAMES and Nuclear Blast will kill it together — once again and stronger than ever!”
Nathan Barley Phillips, senior A&R, comments: “As a dedicated long-serving Jesterhead myself, it gives me great pleasure to represent IN FLAMES as they embark on this exciting new chapter of their illustrious career. I cannot wait for you all to hear what this incredible band have in store!”
