In Flames release ‘Foregone Pt. 2'

News

Nov 8

I can hear you moaning already “oh the old stuffs better” but I’m here to tell you no it’s really not! Since the mid 2000s when In Flames decided to make a change to a more palatable offering of melo-death “fans” have pissed and moaned every release since. I can almost guarantee none of said “fans” gave any record after ‘Come Clarity’ a chance either. Sure, ‘Whoracle’ sounds nothing like ‘Siren Charms’ but the band wouldn’t be such a main stay or influence as they have been for the past three decades. With 2019’s ‘I, the Mask’ bringing back those elements and blending the style’s perfectly, could this new record take it one step further and bring back those old school fans back. Seriously throw on ‘A Sense of Purpose’ and give into what is in my opinion some of the best song writing of this generation.

A few weeks ago, IN FLAMES announced their fourteenth studio album, Foregone, with the immense single 'Foregone Pt. 1'. Today, the band pick up the threads releasing 'Foregone Pt. 2'! Frontman Anders Fridén states, "While revisiting songs in our catalogue like Moonshield and Gyroscope, I felt we hadn’t done that style for a while. We wanted honour those types of songs which incorporates the Swedish folk vibe but bring it to the current era of In flames. Musically and lyrically it is a continuation of Foregone."
