"Deliver Us", the latest video from IN FLAMES, can be viewed below (courtesy of Metal-Hammer.de). The clip was filmed a few weeks ago at the Gteborgshjulet (The Wheel of Gothenburg) in Gothenburg, Sweden with director Patric Ullaeus of Revolver Film Company, who has previously worked with DIMMU BORGIR, LACUNA COIL, SAMAEL, SONIC SYNDICATE and KAMELOT, among others.
