In Flames（烈焰）乐队是一支成立于1990年的瑞典的重金属乐队。自从乐队成立以来，他们共发行了十多张专辑，包括《The Jester Race》在内的多张专辑向人们展示了瑞典“哥德堡之声”这一旋律死亡金属阵地不同凡响的声音，清晰的吉他线路，优美的旋律，愤怒暴烈的主唱和无懈可击的表演让他们一时之间成为了世界上最流行的死亡金属乐队之一。In Flames作为一种新的音乐风格先锋之一，不仅影响了众多后辈乐队，更是把旋律死亡这一金属风格推向了极致。 ountry of origin: Sweden Location: Gothenburg, Västra Götaland Status: Active Formed in: 1990 Genre: Melodic Death Metal (early); Melodic Groove Metal/Metalcore/Alternative Rock (later) Lyrical themes: Dystopia, Astronomy, Dark fantasy (early); Inner struggles, Angst (later) Current label: Nuclear Blast Years active: 1990-present In Flames, along with At the Gates and Dark Tranquillity pioneered what is now known as melodic death metal, or the Gothenburg sound (since all of them came from that city).
