In Flames was formed by Jesper Strömblad in 1990. The band then consisted of Strömblad, Johan Larsson and Glenn Ljungström. A demo was recorded and soon after the band got a record deal and released "Lunar Strain", which soon became a classic in the fast-growing Scandinavian death metal scene.
Changes in line-up heralded a host more hit albums and international tours, culminating in the release of "Disconnected" in May, 2009.
In Flames are currently recording a new album, which is planned for release sometime in the first half of 2011.
