IN FLAMES, CHILDREN OF BODOM, JOB FOR A COWBOY and HIGH ON FIRE will play this year's Gigantour in North America beginning mid-April and running through the end of May. Headlining the trek will be MEGADETH.

Eh, I don't know about this. While Come Clarity was certainly an improvement on the previous two, the song they put on their myspace was complete garbage. Also, that album cover blows. I guess I'll wait and see.

I like Reroute and STYE much better thana Come Clarity.

[ADD]

Well I'm excited.

[powerslave_85]

Wow, that's a shitty album cover.

[sneakbobcat]

I don't really like the album cover. I hope the albums good. I don't like the sound of it so far. I read in an interview "if you like Come Clarity you'll like this" and I don't like Leeches so much, i hope they don't make it like that. And I don't want it to sound too much on the mellow side either, yet they have an 8 minute mellow track on it.

Well hopefully they get it right, or as near as possible
They've not gone TOO badly wrong so far. But everything before Clayman was brilliant, and they've not matched any of it soon.

Take This Life is a good song though!

As if we didn't need any more confirmation In Flames is now a shit band.

[DethMaiden]

That album cover looks like an 80s Marillion album cover to me.

[zgodt]

The colors are pretty.

[EvilCheeseWedge]

This album sounds like it's Agent Smith approved
