In music, the crux of the matter is generally creativity and inspiration (come on now, who thought we were going to say “money”?). Every musician, every band has their own recipe, their own ritual, a specific environment or time to make them emerge. But sometimes inspiration is fickle and just won’t be found where it usually lies. So some artists don’t hesitate to change their habits and experiment to see where that will lead them creatively. Such was In Flames’s reasoning for the creation of their new album, Siren Charms – or, more precisely, the reasoning of vocalist Anders Fridén, who put himself under serious stress and showed up empty-handed in the studio. This is the exact opposite of what he did for the previous album, Sounds Of A Playground Fading, which we talked about three years ago. The intense experience didn’t sit too well with Fridén. Was it worth it? Only the audience can tell…
Along with guitarist Björn Gelotte, the singer tells us all about this experience in the following interview. More generally, they also help us understand the genesis of this album, the second since Jesper Strömblad’s departure, which left Gelotte on his own to write riffs and songs.
