In Flames has just released a surprise EP of cover songs dubbed, Down, Wicked & No Good, today via Nuclear Blast Records. The EP is out in conjunction with their new co-headline tour of Europe with Five Finger Death Punch, stopping off tonight in the bands’ hometown of Stockholm. The EP sees the band covering classic tracks from Depeche Mode, Alice In Chains, Chris Issak and Nine Inch Nails. You can stream the EP right now!
In Flames commented: “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.”
