IN FLAMES Bassist: 'It's Been A Great And Productive Year'

December 21, 2006

IN FLAMES bassist bassist Peter Iwers has posted the following message in the "Peter's Corner" section of the band's official web site:

"Hey all. Thanks again for a great tour. Had a blast hanging out with the LACUNAs, THE SWORDs and the SEEMLESSes, great people and great bands. Right now I'm on the plane over to Sweden where I'm eager to spend a nice holiday with my family. I bought my daughter a cute little Hello Kitty snowglobe that she would absolutely love, but unfortunately security rules on airports prevents you from bringing snowglobes onboard.... I mean, come on. They wouldn't even provide a way for me to have it sent or anything like that. I appreciate all these security rules because they are there for a reason but sometimes you just gotta relax. I mean, what kind of harm am I supposed to do with that? I have the receipt and the full details from the box of the thing but still she won't be getting that for Christmas, 'cuz they took it...bastards.

"Anyways, it's been a great productive year and I thank you all for that, now you have a great time on your holidays and we'll see you all next year."

IN FLAMES' new single — for the new album's title track, "Come Clarity" — is seeing success at Active Rock radio with the launch of the first U.S. commercial campaign in the band's storied history. The video for the single was directed by Lex Halaby (MUDVAYNE, HOOBASTANK, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE) and has been posted online for viewing at this location.

"Come Clarity", the highly-influential Swedish band's debut for Ferret Music, took the hard rock community by storm upon its release, debuting at No. 58 on The Billboard 200, with first-week sales of nearly 25,000 copies. The highest-charting record in both the band and label's sales history, "Come Clarity" has sold more than 110,000 copies in the United States to date, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
