Come Clarity is the eighth studio album by In Flames, released on February 3, 2006 in Europe through Nuclear Blast Records and February 7 in the U.S. through Ferret Records.
The special edition of the album includes a special bonus DVD, featuring the band playing the album in its entirety, except for the final track of the album. However, the audio is not actually live. It is simply the studio recording played over the video. The DVD also features a photo gallery of the recording sessions of Come Clarity.
The album was originally entitled Crawl Through Knives, intended for release in the summer or early fall of 2005.
The song "Take This Life" is included in the game Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock as a bonus song.
Music videos were made for "Take This Life" and "Come Clarity".
On some programs, tracks are listed incorrectly such as "Reflect The End", "Crawling Through Knives" and "Versus Terminus" as "End of All Things".
Style
Come Clarity features the return of the guitar harmonies and the solos to the band, and it is described by the band as being the mixture of the past and the present sound of In Flames.
The song "Dead End" is the third In Flames song to feature female vocals (the others being "Everlost Pt. 2" from Lunar Strain as well as "Whoracle" from Whoracle but this time from Swedish singer-songwriter Lisa Miskovsky.)
The album features the artwork of Derek Hess, who is popular among metal bands and has produced artwork for Converge and Sepultura amongst others. Specifically a connection towards Roorback.
Sales and awards
The album debuted at No. 1 in Sweden[3] and No. 58 on the United States Billboard 200 Charts; in the latter country, selling almost 25,000 copies in its first week, and 50,000 in its first month. Since its release the album has sold more than 110,000 copies in the United States. The album has also sold over 400,000 copies worldwide.
This album has recently won the award for Best Hard Rock Album in the 2007 Swedish Grammy Awards over such nominated albums such as The Haunted's The Dead Eye and HammerFall's Threshold. [4]
