In Flames has released a lyric video for their new track The End, from their forthcoming new album Battles, due on November 11th from Nuclear Blast in all territories excluding North America and Scandinavia and Eleven Seven Music Group in the U.S.. You can watch the video at this link or below:
The album was recorded in Los Angeles with Grammy-nominated producer Howard Benson (Motörhead, Body Count, Sepultura).
In Flames guitarist Björn Gelotte commented about the track ‘The End’ as “a fairly straightforward In Flames song. Having said that, it’s a really positive vibe [to] the song. It’s not a slash-your-wrists kind of vibe; it makes you realize to just make sure you appreciate that moment.”
Comparing their last album to the new one, Gelotte commented:
“‘Siren Charms’ had a very dark vibe to it,” he explained. “We recorded it at a cold, damp and dark time during the year in Berlin so it gave it a certain melancholy to the record. Now recording in L.A. with the sunshine, it’s a different energy. The writing process was different this time, too — that I would like for us to continue to explore. Also, working with Howard and his team was great. I got stressed taking a break for even five minutes because they were always ready to go for the next take and kept my energy up.”
“I think being in California really affected this album in the sense that we had a studio in the house that we were staying at and the vibe was really relaxed which lent itself to productivity,” added vocalist Anders Fridén. “It really helped having a producer who could make us focus on what we needed to accomplish and keep us on track.”
