According to Blistering.com Grammy Award winning, ground-breaking and genre-defining hard rock band In Flames are set to launch a December, 2006 North American headlining tour in support of their critically acclaimed album, Come Clarity. Support on the In Flames tour, which will launch on December 5 will come from Lacuna Coil, The Sword, and Seemless.
As the Swedish metal titans prepare to depart Europe for the tour, the band (Anders Frid?n - Vocals, Bj?rn Gelotte - Guitar, Daniel Svensson - Drums, Peter Iwers - Bass and Jesper Str?mblad - Guitar) has collectively issued a statement as to the temporarily modified touring lineup that will be in place for the headlining jaunt.
"For the upcoming North American tour, Bj?rn will be sitting out as his wife is due to give birth to their second child. Substituting on guitar will be our good friend Henrik Danhage from EVERGREY. We initially planned to have Jesper with us as always on tour, but as previously reported, he is taking the rest of the year off due to personal reasons. As a result, Niklas Engelin (PASSENGER / ENGEL) is filling in for him all the dates through December 20. So to clarify for those who might be wondering, IN FLAMES is in no way breaking up, nor are these changes anything but temporary. We simply didn?t want to disappoint anyone, including our loyal fans, so all shows that were booked prior to these circumstances will be done with the above named session guitarists. New shows / tours are being booked for next year as we speak, featuring the five of us, so stop worrying (speculating, gossiping) and we?ll see you all very soon.
Cheers - Anders, Bj?rn, Peter, Daniel and Jesper, (IN FLAMES)"
