Background

1990–1996

In Flames was founded in 1990 as a side project of Jesper Strömblad who was at the time in a death metal band called Ceremonial Oath.^[1][2] Jesper formed In Flames with the purpose of writing songs with a more melodic musical direction, something which he was not allowed to do in Ceremonial Oath.^[2][3] In 1993, Jesper decided to quit Ceremonial Oath due to musical differences and began focusing more on In Flames.^[2][3] That same year, Jesper (guitar, drums, keyboards) recruited Glenn Ljungström (guitar), and Johan Larsson (bass) to form the first official In Flames line-up.^[3] In popular music, a side-project is a project undertaken by one (or several) person already known for their involvement in another band. ...

The trio recorded a three song demo and sent it to Wrong Again Records.^[4][1] In order to increase their chances of being offered a record deal, the trio lied to the owner of the record label by telling him that they already had 13 songs done.^[4] The owner of Wrong Again Records, seeing promise in the band, offered In Flames a record deal over the phone.^[1] For other uses, see demo. ...

During 1993, In Flames wrote, recorded, and self-produced their debut studio album, Lunar Strain, in Studio Fredman. Since In Flames did not have a vocalist yet, Jesper asked Mikael Stanne of Dark Tranquillity to provide session vocals.^[5] In 1994, Lunar Strain was released.

In 1995, In Flames finally got tired of using session musicians to record an album or to do live shows, so the trio asked Anders Fridén to join the band as the full-time vocalist and Björn Gelotte as the full-time drummer.^[4][2][1] That same year, the new line up recorded the band's second studio album, The Jester Race. This album was recorded once again in Studio Fredman, but unlike previous albums, it was co-produced by the studio's owner, Fredrik Nordström. In 1996, The Jester Race was released.

In 1997, In Flames recorded and released their third studio album, Whoracle. This album was recorded once again in Studio Fredman and co-produced by Fredrik Nordström.

With the new line-up, In Flames then proceeded with a European tour and played their first two shows in Japan.^[1] However, by the end of that tour in 1998, Niklas Engelin quit In Flames.^[7] Whoracle is an album by the band In Flames. ...

Melodic death metal

Main article: Melodic death metal

Melodic death metal, (also referred to as Gothenburg metal, melodeath, and post-death) is a subgenre of death metal. ...

Background

In Flames, along with Dark Tranquillity and At the Gates, pioneered what is now known as melodic death metal. The founding members of all three bands all lived in Gothenburg, Sweden and they were all friends who shared the same musical interests.^[5][2] Eventually, that group of friends branched off into three bands with the same musical direction, In Flames, Dark Tranquillity, and At the Gates. Dark Tranquillity is a melodic death metal band from Gothenburg, Sweden. ... At the Gates was a Swedish melodic death metal band. ... Melodic death metal, (also referred to as Gothenburg metal, melodeath, and post-death) is a subgenre of death metal. ... For other uses, see Gothenburg (disambiguation). ...

Jesper Strömblad formed In Flames to write music that combined the guitar style of Iron Maiden with the brutality of death metal, something which Jesper stated he had never heard any band do.^[16][3] In writing songs, Jesper also decided to make use of keyboards, something which is uncommon in death metal. Ever since In Flames' debut studio album, Lunar Strain, the band has made use of keyboards, but has refused to this day to recruit a full-time keyboardist.^[17][18] Jesper Strömblad (born on November 28, 1972) is best known as the lead guitarist of the Swedish band In Flames. ...

Musical style

In Flames' musical style is characterized by the constant use of harmonized lead guitar melodies. In early albums such as The Jester Race, In Flames would many times employ two harmonized lead guitars playing over a rhythm guitar. However, since the band only has two guitar players, they find it hard to reproduce those songs during live performances and ever since Reroute to Remain they have focused on writing songs with the intention of playing them live.^[19][20][21] In music theory, the term interval describes the difference in pitch between two notes. ... Lead guitar refers to a role within a band, that provides melody or melodic material, as opposed to the rhythm of the rhythm guitar, bass, and drums. ...

Rhythm guitar is a guitar that is primarily used to provide rhythmic and harmonic accompaniment for a singer or for other instruments in an ensemble. ... For the album by The Cure, see Concert (album). ... Reroute to Remain is the sixth studio album by In Flames. ...

In Flames' vocal style is characterized by the use of growled vocals complemented at times by clean vocals. In more recent albums such as Come Clarity, the band makes more prominent use of clean vocals, especially during choruses. In Flames' lyrics have also varied during their career. In early albums such as The Jester Race and Whoracle, In Flames' lyrics focused on astrology, mankind, and other global themes.^[2][22] In later albums such as Soundtrack to Your Escape and Come Clarity, In Flames' lyrics focus more on personal issues, thoughts, and other introspective themes.^[22][18][2] In Flames have, since the release of Reroute to Remain, started to incorporate many influences from modern metal genres - the later albums have had a strong alternative metal, nu metal and metalcore influence on them. This has both given In Flames a wider fanbase but have also upset many older fans, who accuse the band of "selling out". Death growl, also known as growled vocals, harsh vocals, death vocals, death grunts, and also derogatorily or humorously — Cookie Monster vocals[1] is a vocalization style usually employed by vocalists of the Death Metal music genre, but also used in a variety of other heavy metal subgenres. ...

When In Flames was recording their second studio album, The Jester Race, Anders Fridén and Niklas Sundin came up with an idea to create a symbol/mascot for In Flames.^[31] The result was the Jester Head. This symbol made its first appearance in the cover artwork of The Jester Race and ever since, the Jester has been featured in various forms somewhere on every studio album that In Flames has released, either as a song title or on the album artwork.^[32] The Jester Head is also featured in many of In Flames' merchandise and has been featured in banners as part of In Flames' live set.
