Sweden’s foremost metal legends tore down the stage at Slipknot‘s German Knotfest edition with their world-renowned live show. Today, In Flames continue to surprise their fans with a new offering of their mindblowing skills: Gothenburg’s finest release a brand-new track titled “The Great Deceiver” – a crushing piece of high-class modern metal, carving their unique mark deep into the current scene’s foundations.
Together with the release, In Flames announce their return to European stages with an extensive tour in late 2022, supported by At The Gates, Imminence and Orbit Culture.
The band states:
“‘The Great Deceiver‘ was born out of frustration, basically a reaction to false flags but since then it has grown to represent several meanings. There’s a line that says ‘Bend the truth to fit your opinion’ and I feel that speaks a lot to the narrative happening online, between people, and nations etc. today. We are more a part now than ever before, yet it’s easier to communicate than in any other time in history.”
