Yesterday night I got the opportunity to sit down with In Flames guitarist Niclas Engelin during their current tour alongside UK thrash metal band Sylosis, Hellyeah, and Lamb Of God. We discussed the idea of which region has the best crowds, what the Randy Blythe arrest means for touring bands, his first guitar, his favorite horror movie, and his favorite albums of the year! You can check this exclusive video interview below!

In Flames has had to cancel all remaining Rockstar Mayhem Energy Festival tour dates due to an illness in the family. It sucks because I was really looking forward to seeing them again (the last time I saw them was when the toured with Chimaira and Soilwork). However, I fully understand the need for family to come first. Therefore, best of luck to the In Flames family and I wish for all the best.

Check after the jump for a message from the band regarding the situation.

With a history as long and celebrated as In Flames, each new album is met by fans with great expectations and high hopes. “Will it be as good as The Jester Race or Clayman?” “Will it be something weird and a total deviation from what I’m used to?” Well, considering the fact that In Flames have been releasing studio albums since 1993, it’s impossible to ask them to stay with one sound. First of all, it gets boring for the listener and, second, musicians can’t be pigeonholed like that. Progression and expansion are a natural part of life as well as music. So it is with In Flames 10th studio release, Sounds of a Playground Fading. But does this expansion and progression work? Check after the jump.

In Flames are gearing up for the release of Sounds Of A Playground Fading and are building the hype by releasing the first single, Deliver Us, today on iTunes. After the jump, you can check out the song. I’ll admit that it’s nothing like their old stuff, songs like ‘Only For The Weak‘ or ‘Colony‘, but it’s growing on me with each listen. Plus, I’m always up for a band expanding and growing, so I’m eager to see how the rest of the album turns out.
