In Flames in Concert

Among the forefathers of Swedish death metal, In Flames have been in the game for almost 30 years. Formed by guitarist Jesper Strömblad in 1990 as a side project from his other death metal band, Ceremonial Oath, In Flames would quickly become his main focus. 

In 1993, Strömblad quit Ceremonial Oath to devote himself fully to his new enterprise. The same year, he recorded the band's first demo with its first official lineup, which featured Glenn Ljungström on guitar and Johan Larsson on bass (although the lineup has changed often since). 

Their demo got them signed to Wrong Again records, who released the band's first album in 1994. Lunar Strain was a solid start for the band, giving them a place to start exploring melodic death metal in a real way. A year later, they released Subterranean EP, which gave them some notoriety with its aggressive speeds and soaring melodies — it caught the attention of esteemed metal label Nuclear Blast, who signed them.

On Nuclear Blast, In Flames was off to the races, continuing to release increasingly acclaimed music throughout the ‘90s and ‘00s. With 2002's Reroute to Remain, the band took a left turn and underwent a few substantial stylistic changes, including starting to use clean vocals and employing catchier hooks and choruses. 

Their new music had a generally lighter feel, which helped them break through to the mainstream and gain a bigger fan base, They quickly blew up in the U.S. and were booked at Ozzfest. The album peaked at No. 13 on the Billboard Independent Albums Chart. Going forward, they continued their new sound and their new music led them to the promised land. They went on to win four Grammis, the Swedish version of the Grammys.

    by Bucaga on 11/23/23The Van Buren - Phoenix

    In Flames was great. Opening band Havoc (from Denver, Colorado) was great. The Van Buren concert venue was great. I had a great time. Great, great, great... 👍

    Unbilled garage band before opener?

    by Cherie on 11/23/23The Van Buren - Phoenix

    Our first time to this venue. It was clean, friendly and efficient. There was an unscheduled garage quality band that played before the opener. This pushed the published times back considerably and on Sunday night at that. We never heard who the first band was. The scheduled opener sounded good. In Flames was okay. You really could not understand any of the vocals. The music just buried him. I don't know if that was the bands fault or if this is a venue where the house does the mixing, but it wasn't the greatest.

    by A. C. on 3/8/23

    I went to the show in October/November 2022 at Wally’s in Hampton Beach it was my first concert that I actually enjoyed Anders and Crew were so nice and Bjorn kept throwing picks at the crowd it took them some time to realize my arms didn’t go above my head and I eventually got a pick I desperately want to go back

    Amazing Musicians and Performers

    by Adam on 12/21/22

    I've seen them 3 times now. My favorite band so I may be a little biased. They put on a good show every time. They are OG Swedish melodic metal!

    Big bands in small venues.... A+++

    by Dreamspace2 on 10/29/22Wally's - Hampton

    Amazing setlist, amazing sound. Seeing "big bands" in small venues is always an amazing concert experience but this one was one of the best. An intimate venue with great sound, In Flames gave us all a night to remember. New songs sprinkled in between older songs from almost every album, the set list was astounding. New guitarist Chris Broderick was super impressive as was Anders vocals. Wallys is always a great venue (though they need bigger bathrooms) and their booker has been doing an amazing job lately getting great rock and metal bands. #Inflameswetrust #wallysNH
