Alongside At the Gates and Dark Tranquillity, In Flames pioneered the genres known as Swedish death metal and melodic death metal.
During the band's early years, In Flames had a varying group of musicians recording with them, including many session musicians. By the release of Colony (1999), the group had established a stable lineup. Their sixth studio album Reroute to Remain (2002) showed the band moving toward a newer style of music that moved further away from melodic death metal and closer to alternative metal. This decision was criticized by fans of the group's heavier metal sound; however, it increased the band's mainstream audience and bolstered their album sales. As of 2008, In Flames has sold over two million records worldwide.
Since the band's inception, In Flames have released thirteen studio albums, three EPs, and two live DVDs, their latest release being their thirteenth studio album I, the Mask in 2019. In Flames has been nominated for three Grammis Awards. They won two of these nominations; one for Soundtrack to Your Escape (2004) in the "Hard Rock/Metal of the Year" category, and one nomination for their following album Come Clarity (2006) in the same category.

In This Life
In Flames Lyrics
Breathing the dead
Underneath a sky that used to be blue
Each day living just enough
While the world is coming down
I can't focus, I can't control
Close to expired with a broken soul
The rage has left a hole
So strong I can't ignore
Waiting to cave in
Who am I..and what..and why..in life? (In life)
Searching for something
I can't find a smile that's mine
In this life.
(In life)
Born to pretend
Anything to stay alive
But walls are closing in
And I'm prepared for the downfall
(They say)...wear your wounds with pride
But I have no more space and my body is heavy
Nothing will change my mind
So I wave the world goodbye
The rage has left a hole
So strong I can't ignore
Waiting to cave in
Who am I..and what..and why..in life? (In life)
Searching for something
I can't find a smile that's mine
In this life.
(In life)
I can't focus, I can't control
Close to expired with a broken soul
The rage has left a hole
So strong I can't ignore
Waiting to cave in
Who am I..and what..and why..in life? (In life)
Searching for something
I can't find a smile that's mine
In this life.
(In life)
Underneath a sky that used to be blue
Each day living just enough
While the world is coming down
I can't focus, I can't control
Close to expired with a broken soul
The rage has left a hole
So strong I can't ignore
Who am I..and what..and why..in life? (In life)
Searching for something
I can't find a smile that's mine
In this life.
(In life)
Born to pretend
Anything to stay alive
But walls are closing in
And I'm prepared for the downfall
(They say)...wear your wounds with pride
But I have no more space and my body is heavy
Nothing will change my mind
So I wave the world goodbye
The rage has left a hole
So strong I can't ignore
Waiting to cave in
Who am I..and what..and why..in life? (In life)
Searching for something
I can't find a smile that's mine
In this life.
(In life)
I can't focus, I can't control
Close to expired with a broken soul
The rage has left a hole
So strong I can't ignore
Waiting to cave in
Who am I..and what..and why..in life? (In life)
Searching for something
I can't find a smile that's mine
In this life.
(In life)
