Following in the recent footsteps of fellow Swedes Opeth, In Flames just inked a deal with Nuclear Blast Records.

Nuclear Blast proudly announce the signings of In Flames for the world (excluding North America and Scandinavia).

"In a way, In Flames and Nuclear Blast share a similar story," said 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."

Nuclear Blast CEO Markus Staiger comments: "We're enormously happy that In Flames decided to return and trust in us for the second time - Nuclear Blast is their home again from now on. I remember well how their debut album, 'Lunar Strain,' inspired me back in the days. I was totally fascinated by their great and absolutely unique blend of death metal with delicate melodies.

"One year later, In Flames signed with us and released eight splendid records over the years, including groundbreaking classics such as 'Whoracle,' 'Clayman,' and 'Reroute To Remain.' In Flames developed all the time, reinvented themselves again and again and enthused fans of various genres with their always innovative sound. We're looking forward to the common future with Anders, Björn, Peter, and Niclas."

Currently, the band is working on the release of a new live DVD. Stay tuned for more details to arrive shortly.
