In Flames Ready To Release New Album April 1 By Newsferatu, Writer Friday, February 1, 2008 @ 10:33 PM
Influential heavy metal titans In Flames have completed work on its new album. Entitled A Sense of Purpose, the long awaited record will see an April 1, 2008 North American release date via Koch Records.
The follow up to the band’s most successful album to date, 2006’s Come Clarity, A Sense of Purpose was recorded at the band’s all new IF Studios in Gothenburg, Sweden. The record was mixed by Toby Wright (Metallica, Slayer) and merges the band’s ambitious, forward thinking songwriting with the familiar harmonized lead guitar melodies that have populated previous IN FLAMES albums such as The Jester Race and Colony.
The roll out song from A Sense of Purpose will be the album’s lead track “The Mirror’s Truth”, which will see release as a European single on March 7 through the band’s European label, Nuclear Blast Records. The track will be made available worldwide on March 11 via iTunes. IN FLAMES have also tagged “The Mirror’s Truth” as the first music video from the new album.
When asked to comment on A Sense of Purpose, the band stated, "We are extremely happy with the end result and are so proud of what we have achieved with the new album. We can't wait for you all to hear it."
A Sense of Purpose’s much-talked-about cover art and layout was designed by artist Alex Pardee (The Used, Kid Robot) and can be viewed at this location. The surreal artwork ties in with A Sense of Purpose’s overall packaging and design and visually tells the tale of a titular character navigating through a labyrinth while avoiding various dangers (representing life’s difficulties) that pepper his journey. Chic art and culture magazine Juxtapose has posted a news highlight on Pardee’s IN FLAMES artwork at this location.
The final track listing for A Sense of Purpose is as follows:
