IN FLAMES Release “The Chosen Pessimist” Video From Sounds From The Heart Of Gothenburg DVD

Swedish metal icons In Flames will release their new DVD, Sounds From The Heart Of Gothenburg, on September 23rd via Nuclear Blast. Check out “The Chosen Pessimist” from the upcoming release:

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.”

In Flames have released a lyric video for “The Truth”, a track from their twelfth full-length studio album, Battles, out November 11th via Eleven Seven Music in North America and Nuclear Blast globally excluding North America.

Recorded in Los Angeles, the 15-track album sees the band taking a new approach while staying true to their vision and encompassing their unique, signature sound. In Flames brought in Grammy-nominated producer Howard Benson (Papa Roach, My Chemical Romance, The Used) as a collaborator on Battles, creating an album that speaks to all In Flames fans alike.

“I think being in California really affected this album in the sense that we had a studio in the house that we were staying at and the vibe was really relaxed which lent itself to productivity,” says vocalist Anders Fridén. “It really helped having a producer who could make us focus on what we needed to accomplish and keep us on track,” he adds. “This was a very new approach for us because we’ve never let anyone else in the way we did with Howard,” says guitarist Björn Gelotte.
