Band shares video for “State of Slow Decay”
Swedish metal legends In Flames has re-signed with Nuclear Blast, extending their partnership on a worldwide level. As one of the most influential metal bands of all time, the news foreshadows some exciting plans for the Gothenburg legends, which will be announced soon.
“We are extremely happy to welcome In Flames back into the NBR family on a worldwide basis,” Nuclear Blast’s Marcus Hammer shares. “Here’s the message to the metal world: A new metal masterpiece is about to drop and you can guarantee there is no decay visible. Quite the contrary. In Flames and Nuclear Blast will kill it together — once again and stronger than ever!”
Following this groundbreaking news, In Flames have released a crushing new single titled “State of Slow Decay.” The song, which was premiered live at Sweden Rock festival, comes accompanied by a video that features the band performing their new track on an unconventional stage.
“We have always done our own thing without any pressure from the outside world, BUT being back with Nuclear Blast worldwide has for sure inspired us to write a host of new material that includes the past, the present, and the future,” comments frontman Anders Fridén. “‘State of Slow Decay’ includes everything that In Flames are known for. But it’s more than just a song, it’s a fucking statement. I couldn’t be happier to release this as a taste of what’s to come.”
In Flames will embark on a North American tour this September as it launches in Boston. Stops include New York City, Montreal, Chicago, Denver, Dallas and others before wrapping mid-October in Atlanta.
