IN FLAMES - Björn Gelotte Unboxes His Signature Epiphone Guitar; Video

In the new video below, In Flames guitarist Björn Gelotte unboxes and talks about the features of his signature Epiphone Les Paul custom pro electric guitar.

In Flames released their new album, I, The Mask, on March 1st via Eleven Seven Music in North America, and on Nuclear Blast throughout the rest of the world. A lyric video for the song "Burn" can be seen below:

The 12-track album reunites them with multi-Grammy nominated producer Howard Benson (My Chemical Romance, Motörhead) who also produced 2016's Battles. Additionally, the album is mixed by Grammy winning mixer, Chris Lord-Alge (Cheap Trick, Linkin Park) and mastered by Grammy winning mastering engineer, Ted Jensen (Pantera, Eagles, Guns N’ Roses). The album artwork is created by artist Blake Armstrong, and it depicts a unique interpretation of the band’s mascot, The Jesterhead. The story of the cover will be revealed via the full album artwork on March 1st, which coincides with each song on the album.

“This album is really a special one to us. Since our last record, Battles, we’ve established our own annual festival in Sweden and have been touring non-stop worldwide, creating an even stronger bond with our fans. You could say it was a big part of our inspiration for this album. It’s been such a long journey that just keeps going and growing; We feel extremely thankful for that, and for the support that makes it possible. We dedicate our 13th album, I, The Mask to our fans who allow us to keep making music and playing it every night. IN JESTERHEADS WE TRUST.” - Anders Fridén

Guitarist Niclas Engelin was unable to join In Flames on their recent North American tour. Former Megadeth guitarist Chris Broderick (Act Of Defiance) stepped in for Engelin.

A message from In Flames stated: "To all of the Jesterheads coming out to our upcoming North American tour: We’re extremely sad to inform that, due to strong medical advisement to stay home, Niclas will not be joining the tour. Luckily, ex-Megadeth guitarist and longtime friend, Chris Broderick was able to step in at the last minute for the full run. Please wish Niclas the best as he stays home to rest. We can’t wait to see you soon."

The band recently checked in with an update on the situation: "To all of the Jesterheads coming out to our upcoming European and UK dates: Niclas will be extending his hiatus though out the summer to focus on personal matters. Your support has meant a great deal to both Niclas and Chris Broderick, who will remain on the road for the time being. We can’t wait to see you soon."
