Gothenburg, Sweden-based melodic death metal group In Flames have parted ways with drummer Daniel Svensson following a 17-year tenure, revealing this development on November 7th, 2015.
Svensson issued the following statement: “I have decided to close my chapter in In Flames after finishing up this current tour.
“It has truly been a fantastic journey and I want to thank Anders (Fridén, vocals), Björn (Gelotte, guitars), Peter (Iwers, bass), Jesper (Strömblad, ex-guitars) and Niclas (Engelin, rhythm guitars) from the bottom of my heart for all great memories and experiences that we’ve shared during the last 17 years (!) together.
“It’s hard to leave what have become my second family, but now it’s time for me to take care and spend more time with the most important people in my life – my wife and my three daughters.
“Perhaps some of you of will see me again, as I will start my very own brewery in a very near future. Something I am just as passionate about as In Flames.
“I wish my friends in the band, the whole crew and everyone that’s working for In Flames the very best in the future.
“To you, all fans around the world, I want to say, thank you, massively, for all the support you have shown during my years in the band.”
Svensson joined In Flames during 1998, stepping behind the drumkit for Gelotte – Gelotte had previously handled drumming duties since their 1995 inception, switching to guitars following the departure of Glenn Ljungström. Albums five through to 11 featured Svensson’s services, beginning with May 1999’s Colony and concluding with September 2014’s Siren Charms.
