In Flames will release their new record Foregone on February 23 and is now streaming the raging new single "Foregone, Pt. 1." If you've been keeping up with In Flames' singles throughout 2022, you've definitely noticed that the band has upped its heaviness in a very big way. Vocalist Anders Fridén says that was intentional.
"Going into the Foregone sessions, we wanted to make a record that was heavily guitar-driven, and that had a strong foundation between the bass and drums. We still approached our songwriting the same way, as we always have, as a juxtaposition between melody and aggression. That's the DNA of our music. From the lyrical end of things, there was no shortage of inspiration to draw from, especially the concept of time."
"Humanity as a whole was forced to slow down and take breather. In that break, many of us spent time evaluating and reprioritizing. Time is a constant, but what do we do with it and how we perceive it varies. Especially now looking at where the world seems to be headed faster than ever before. It's crazy that after everything we are still here and on our fourteenth album. I feel that we've found a great balance between the past, the present and the future with Foregone. This is a new era of In Flames!"
Foregone is available for pre-order as a special Metal Injection variant on Sun Yellow vinyl here through Gimme Metal. Standard pre-orders are also available here. You can also catch the band on tour at one of the dates below.
