In Flames is a Swedish heavy metal band from Gothenburg, formed in 1990. Since the band's inception, they have released ten studio albums and one live DVD. As of 2008, In Flames has sold over 2 million records worldwide.
In Flames was founded in the year 1990 by Jesper Strömblad as a side project from his then-current death metal band, Ceremonial Oath. His purpose was to write songs with a more melodic musical direction, something which he was not allowed to do in Ceremonial Oath. In 1993, Strömblad decided to quit Ceremonial Oath due to musical differences and began focusing more on In Flames. That same year, Strömblad recruited Glenn Ljungström on guitar and Johan Larsson on bass guitar to form the first official In Flames line-up.
During 1993, In Flames wrote, recorded, and self-produced their debut studio album, Lunar Strain, in Studio Fredman. Since In Flames did not have a vocalist yet, Strömblad asked Mikael Stanne of Dark Tranquillity to provide session vocals. In 1994, Lunar Strain was released.
I used to adore you
The lies made sense somehow
Gave myself away without a fight
But betrayal claims its price
At first I was scared
Not used to murders mind
But there was something beautiful
So powerful, different, so divine
Pushing the faith
Build on our rage
Falling ideals
Broken seals
March to the shore
You are a killer
Is it something that's always been there
What's the distance in this cage?
Oh, I'm glad we [Incomprehensible]
I love to release the rage
But everything has its end
I've done my deed
The final bullet was always meant for me
Pushing the faith
Build on our rage
Falling ideals
Broken seals
March to the shore
You are a killer
But everything has its end
I've done my deed
The final bullet, always meant for me
Falling ideals
Broken seals
March to the shore
You are a killer
Falling ideals
Broken seals
March to the shore
