In Flames: new album 'Foregone' coming in February 2023

In Flames represent the best of metal — past, present, and future. As New Wave of Swedish Death Metal architects and innovative purveyors of groove and melody, the band's artistry and influence is undeniable.

In Flames' fourteenth studio album, 'Foregone', arrives via Nuclear Blast Records on February 10, 2023.

Frontman Anders Fridén stated: "Going into the 'Foregone' sessions, we wanted to make a record that was heavily guitar-driven, and that had a strong foundation between the bass and drums. We still approached our songwriting the same way, as we always have, as a juxtaposition between melody and aggression. That's the DNA of our music. From the lyrical end of things, there was no shortage of inspiration to draw from, especially the concept of time.

Humanity as a whole was forced to slow down and take breather. In that break, many of us spent time evaluating and reprioritizing. Time is a constant, but what do we do with it and how we perceive it varies. Especially now looking at where the world seems to be headed faster than ever before.

It's crazy that after everything we are still here and on our fourteenth album. I feel that we've found a great balance between the past, the present and the future with 'Forgone'. This is a new era of In Flames!"

Foregone features artwork designed by Blake Armstrong.

The album will be out on several CD and vinyl editions (some limited), cassette and digital.
