Gothenburg's masters of melodic metal are currently a double threat, hence not only their DVD »Sounds From The Heart Of Gothenburg« (out 23/9) is ready for release, but also their highly anticipated new studio album »Battles« will see the light of day on November 11th. Reason enough to ask the famous american producer Howard Benson about his work with IN FLAMES and what his daily schedule looked like, when he recorded their twelfth release »Battles« in his studio in California.

Recorded in Los Angeles, the album sees the band taking a new approach while staying true to their vision and encompassing their unique, signature sound. IN FLAMES brought in Grammy-nominated producer Howard Benson (PAPA ROACH, MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE) as a collaborator on »Battles«, creating an album that speaks to all IN FLAMES fans alike.
