With over 2,5 million records sold over the past years their fans wait in fascination and (in some cases) fear of what's coming next. Their new album "Sounds Of A Playground Fading" that was released in June 2011 isn't only a new chapter of IN FLAMES' lore, but also another proof for their unique formula for success. In fact, IN FLAMES managed to reach some of the best chart results in their career incl. #1 in the German album charts, Top Ten results in Sweden, Finland, Austria and Norway as well as #27 in the US Billboard Charts. IN FLAMES will unleash their 2nd digital single "Where The Dead Ships Dwell" right before they will embark on the 2nd leg of their extensive European tour in November/December: GERMANY / AUSTRIA / SWITZERLAND / NORWAY / AUSTRALIA / NEW ZEALAND / ITALY: Friday, November 11, 2011.

Some words by the artists about their remix of "Where The Dead Ships Dwell": Casper: "Since I have been a huge In Flames fan since I was a teenager, I was honored to even be considered for a remix of one of their songs from their new chart-topping album. When I used to play in metal bands, it was all about having riffs comparable to these guys and to now, as a rapper (!!!), be a part of the new single is mindblowing. We didn't really know how to approach the material, since it is my first remix job ever, so we went the dancy French house route. I really deeply do hope that people enjoy it. Feeling blessed." The Qemists: "From the first listen we were blown away by the whole album, so we jumped at the chance to remix one of our favorite tracks from 'Playground. We wanted to create something for the clubs which still embodied the spirit of this album. Going back to the original recordings rather than just having a vocal accapella allowed us to do something with the vocals which would not normally be possible on a remix, and In Flames are a band who obviously like to push the boundaries, so we thought they would probably like our ideas!" Kristof Bathory from Dawn of Ashes: "It was quite an honor to work on this remix & add an Industrial vibe to an In Flames track. I feel that my evil ways definitely comes out in this remix. So for In Flames fans, enjoy my Devilry!"
