In Flames Announce 14th Studio Album 'Foregone', Share New Track Foregone Pt. 1

In Flames have announced their 14th studio album.
The follow-up to 2019's 'I, The Mask' is called 'Foregone' and will arrive on February 10. Frontman Anders Fridén revealed the creative motivation behind the LP:
"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 a breather. In that break, many of us spent time evaluating and reprioritizing. Time is a constant, but what 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 14th 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!"
To accompany the news, the band dropped the record's crushing third single, the aptly titled Foregone Pt.1. It follows the previously unveiled cuts State Of Slow Decay and The Great Deceiver.
The Swedish death metallers are currently touring the United States, and hit the road this autumn for a run of European dates, including a London show at the O2 Academy Brixton on November 20. Tickets are on sale now.

1. The Beginning Of All Things That Will End
