In Flames Share Brutal New Song And Video “State Of Slow Decay”

The Swedish heavy metal outfit In Flames has shared a brand new song “State of Slow Decay,” along with an accompanying music video. The new track comes alongside an announcement that the band has decided to re-sign with their record label, Nuclear Blast Records.

In Flames’ frontman, Anders Friden, has explained that the band’s decision to re-sign with Nuclear Blast has massively inspired the band to make more music: “We have always done our own thing without any pressure from the outside world, BUT being back with Nuclear Blast worldwide has for sure inspired us to write a host of new material that includes the past, the present, and the future.”

The band’s latest offering is a powerful display of the band’s continuing ability to write intense and crushing material. The first minute of “State of Slow Decay” bombards the listener with a flurry of different speedy riffs, slowing down toward the midpoint to offer a beautiful but heavy chorus featuring the clean singing of Anders Friden. Friden has noted that In Flames intend for this new track to be more than just a simple song, stating “‘State of Slow Decay’ includes everything that In Flames are known for. But it’s more than just a song, it’s a fucking statement. I couldn’t be happier to release this as a taste of what’s to come.”
