"The NY show had to be cancelled because Anders had to hurry back to Sweden since his fiance went into labour. We´ll be back to do the show sometime next year. Hope to see you all there!"

IN FLAMES bassist Peter Iwers has posted two updates in "Peter's Corner" at www.inflames.com:

April 21, 2004 - Tilburg

Hey! As I write this I´m in Holland,Tilburg to be more precise,awaiting the show. Just finished off another episode of 24, season two, and man this is probably the best series I´ve ever seen, can´t stop watching... While enjoying some old YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, I´m gonna tell you something about the last few days.

The day before yesterday was an off day back in Gothenburg, which was really enjoyable and necessary. I did some shopping and then went back to my house for dinner and relaxation. At midnight we travelled to Hamurg, Germany, for a show at Markthalle, a.k.a. the sweatbox..

Great audience, sold out, which means 1100-1200 people. I felt a bit sorry for them though as the venue didn´t have any air-conditioning what so ever, and it was literally a sauna in there... But, I have to say that this was a wonderful way to continue the European tour, the people were amazing and so into it, and I loved every moment of it, even though I was a living swimming pool....

Waking up in Holland was great, having a massage, a shower and then out to town for lunch, while enjoying the Dutch culture... And as I turn off my computer now I´m on my way to get backstage and change into the outfit that will make me "strong" again...:) see ya Peter

April 22, 2004 - Cologne

Hey again, checking in form Cologne, Germany. Yesterday was amazing as well. People seem to be a bit more mellow in Holland, but over all they seemed to really appreciate us and the other bands, which was cool. Nothing bad against the Dutch people, cause I really like their country, but so far this was the least energetic crowd....

But we had fun as hell as usual, and I am only saying this so that next time u guys wil be even more on the edge:) Woke up at four pm today, finally starting to get into the tour schedule with the late nights and the late mornings too.. Some cities are just not very much to do in and then I really prefer sleeping in rather than just spending my day doing nothing.. Soon show time and I cant wait, tonight is sold out- which is more than 1500 , so it should be great .. talk to u soon. Cheers Peter

Hello all, now we are done with the recording of the upcoming album, due out next spring. It took almost seven weeks in total to record and the way we choose to do it was the most challenging, interesting way we´ve ever recorded an album.

As you might know, we did this in Denmark, where we had found a house suitable for our purposes earlier this year. It was located just outside Fredrikshamn, so even though we were camped in the middle of nowhere, we had just a few minutes to reality.

We took all our gear and hired our two great friends and producers Örjan Örnkloo and Daniel Bergstrand to produce the album. They brought their equipment along and the first week was spent mostly by building the two control-rooms, that were located in the two wings of the building.

We also had two other good friends, Magnus & Magnus who took care of the cooking, driving, tuning, restringing and basically everything else that we had no time to do, as we were focusing on the recording. Without them we wouldn´t be alive...

Then, as the drums were recorded earlier in Dug-Out studios, we started with the guitars, and setting the sound that we needed for them. After another week it was time for bass guitar, alongside the recording of the remaining guitar parts.

When the bass was finished after six days, Anders started on his vocals, and it all sounded great. It was the first time we could hear the energy that we had created in a more finished form.

We are really thrilled, as we built this studio from scratch, and the sound that we achieved on this album can never be recreated 100%, this will be totally original, in a good way.

Anyways, hope you all will enjoy it, take care. Anders, Peter, Daniel, Björn & Jesper.
