In Flames

In Flames is a Swedish heavy metal band from Gothenburg, formed in 1990. They are considered pioneers of the Gothenburg metal scene, which also includes bands such as At the Gates and Dark Tranquillity. Their lineup has changed several times. Vocalist Anders Fridén and lead guitarist Björn Gelotte are the only consistent members since 1995. Since the departure of Jesper Strömblad in 2010, no original members remain with the band. The band has sold over two million records worldwide.

During the band's early years, In Flames had a varying group of recording musicians, including many session musicians. By the release of Colony (1999), the group had a stable lineup. Their sixth studio album, Reroute to Remain (2002), moved toward a newer style further away from melodic death metal and closer to alternative metal.
