IN FLAMES COMPLETE WORK ON NEW MUSIC VIDEO
The title track from the highly esteemed band’s much publicized new album, "Come Clarity" was helmed by famed Director Lex Halaby (ATMOSPHERE, MUDVAYNE, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE), who also recently wrapped shooting on the video for "Snakes on a Plane (Bring It)", the title track from the upcoming New Line Cinema high concept action / horror film "Snakes on a Plane", starring Samuel L. Jackson. The fascinatingly eye-catching clip was filmed in the scorching desert of Ridgecrest, California during the second leg of IN FLAMES’ recent North American headlining tour and features the band performing "Come Clarity" in the midst of a brilliant setting, while an evolving storyline that features frontman Anders Fridén progressively unfolds. An exclusive still image from the video can be viewed at this location.
For those with high speed internet connections, New Jersey’s Ferret Music has made the entire video available for online viewing. Check out IN FLAMES’ "Come Clarity" now at this location. The video will make its world network premiere(s) via large-scale television outlets such as MTV2, Music Choice, FUSE and MuchMusic imminently.
The unveiling of the "Come Clarity" video also ushers in the first U.S. commercial radio campaign in IN FLAMES’ storied history. The infectious single will go for impact at Active Rock stations across the country this August.

"heavy-metal heavyweights…Sweden’s IN FLAMES have inspired many of the young metalcore bands that’ve found success over the past few years on the VANS Warped Tour and Ozzfest circuit, but what’s remarkable about this year’s "Come Clarity" is how inspired IN FLAMES themselves sound. Few bands mix melody and mayhem as compellingly." - DALLAS OBSERVER (July 20, 2006)

"Metal bands have an unfortunate history with altering their sound in an attempt to broaden their audience, only to return to some neutered version of their earlier selves once the crowds dwindle.
