Sweden's iconic masters of metal IN FLAMES are set to infiltrate the US for a spring headlining US tour with special guests GATECREEPER and CREEPING DEATH. The skull crushing lineup will kick off the excursion on May 1st in Portland, ME and will wrap it up on May 26th in Dallas, TX.
Commenting on the tour, vocalist Anders Fridén says:
"We are very excited to have these two killer bands, Gatecreeper and Creeping Death, on this run. I foresee a night of huge riffs, blast beats, head banging, mosh pitting, people loosing their minds and more. Come on down, lets have a good time!!!"
GATECREEPER frontman Chase Mason adds:
"We are very excited to tour with In Flames. We have been fans for a long time and got the opportunity to meet and play with the band last summer. In Flames has been a huge influence on our newer material and hitting the road with them after working on our record is an ideal scenario for us."

The Swedish legends IN FLAMES are currently on the road in support of their latest, critically praised record, Foregone, which Blabbermouth called "the finest album to bear the band's name since at least Come Clarity" and MetalSucks describing the release as "a stick of dynamite with a first-place ribbon attached; a sensational rejuvenation that even the staunchest doomsayers will have a hard time picking apart."
Nearly a year since the album's release, IN FLAMES continue to slay audiences worldwide with new tracks like 'End The Transmission,' 'Foregone Pt. 1,' 'Foregone Pt. 2' and 'Meet Your Maker.' The band will embark in late January for a year long tour in support of the record, including jaunts in Asia, US and Europe.
