IN FLAMES Set September Release Date For Sounds From The Heart Of Gothenburg DVD; New “Making Of” Video Streaming

Swedish metal icons In Flames have set September 23rd as the release date for their upcoming DVD, Sounds From The Heart Of Gothenburg, via Nuclear Blast. A new “making of” video trailer can also be seen below.

With 20 tracks, the show that was recorded on November 7th, 2014 at Scandinavium in Gothenburg, Sweden reaches a length of one and a half hours, and achieves in capturing the band at their very best, celebrating current hits such as "Through Oblivion", "With Eyes Wide Open" and "Rusted Nail" to a packed arena. But, of course, old-school classics like "Trigger", "Cloud Connected" and the hypnotic closer "Take This Life" are not left out.

Prepare for an intense and visually explosive performance in front of ten thousand fans, featuring pyros, circle pits, flying crowdsurfers and In Flames’ incomparable riffs.

"This DVD is for everyone who was been following our career; we have songs from the early years, the middle years and the new era," states guitarist Björn Gelotte. "It has to be fun for us to play but also fun for the audience to watch and we try to get a good flow with nice dynamics and different songs."

Nuclear Blast recently welcomed In Flames back into the fold for the world excluding North America. Formed in 1990, the band are considered one of the forefathers of melodic death metal and the purveyors of the "Gothenburg sound". With eleven studio albums released, countless successful tours around the globe, millions of records sold and a massive fanbase worldwide, In Flames have proven to be an unstoppable force in heavy music. From their 1994 debut Lunar Strain to the most recent Siren Charms (2014), the band's intricate twin guitar attack, melodic vocals and superb arrangements have given them a signature sound that has evolved throughout the years.

"In a way, In Flames and Nuclear Blast share a similar story," said In Flames vocalist Anders Fridén. "Both started in a garage in Europe, both love metal and both have grown a lot bigger over the years. For these reasons, it seemed a natural fit to come back to the place it all started."

In Flames 2016 lineup:

Anders Fridén - vocals
Björn Gelotte - guitars
