Gothenburg-based metal heavyweights IN FLAMES surprised fans with a four-track covers EP Down, Wicked & No Good out worldwide now. Download or stream the EP here: http://nblast.de/IFDownWickedNoGood
To debut their cover of DEPECHE MODE’s 1997 hit single ‘It’s No Good’, IN FLAMES took over DEPECHE MODE’s Facebook page, releasing exclusive content and a new video for the song – watch it here:
The panoptic covers collection also includes IN FLAMES‘ versions of ALICE IN CHAINS’ ‘Down In A Hole,’ CHRIS ISAAK’s ‘Wicked Game,’ and a live bonus version of NINE INCH NAILS ‘Hurt’. It sees the Swedish quintet expanding beyond metal to incorporate the group’s varied musical taste and expansive sonic range.
“We’ve been fans of DEPECHE MODE since we were as young as 10. Getting to do our rendition of ‘It’s No Good’ showed us a different side of the song – it brought new meanings to us. We relate to the lyrics and power of the song so heavily that it almost feels as if we could have written it ourselves. They’re a band that we’ve always looked up to. Growing up, you either listened to Pop, Synths or Rock and even though we are a metal band, DEPECHE MODE inspired a lot of the electronic elements we use in our music today.”
IN FLAMES are currently on a 25 date co-Headline arena tour with American heavyweights, FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH and special guests OF MICE & MEN in Helsinki. Watch an exclusive clip from the show here: https://youtu.be/WeWxxfGPrJ4
