Soundtrack to Your Escape

Soundtrack to Your Escape is a fulfilling work on which In Flames combines sharp guitar riffs, a mechanical, precise rhythmic sense and deeply shaded melody. It pushes the modern direction of the previous Reroute to Remain further. While firmly keeping fierceness, its songs are deftly arranged into more concise, compact, memorable phrases. Modern content on which electronic texture comes more to the fore. From the powerful drive of the opener “F(r)iend” and the dramatic popular “The Quiet Place” to a cut like “Dead Alone,” every song is engaging, while cuts like “Touch of Red” and the catchy “My Sweet Shadow” convey the work’s fullness. In particular, “The Quiet Place” and “My Sweet Shadow” became popular songs representing this period. A record on which, within the dense sound, a cold, hard air and human, earnest sorrow coexist extremely naturally. While firmly keeping the starting point of melodic death metal, it powerfully steps into a broader, more modern expression. A powerful, engaging record symbolizing the fulfilling period of modern In Flames — a record where the band’s steady ability shines.
