Swedish heavy metal powerhouse In Flames brought their signature mix of melody and heaviness to the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver on April 1, 2025.

Unearth kicked off the night with a blistering set that immediately set the tone for the evening. Their blend of metalcore intensity and technical precision had the crowd engaged from the first riff. Frontman Trevor Phipps wasted no time getting the audience involved, urging circle pits and headbanging from start to finish. By the time they wrapped up, the crowd was primed and ready for In Flames.

As the intro music faded and the first notes of “Cloud Connected” rang out, the crowd erupted, setting the tone for a high-energy night full of crowdsurfers and mosh pits.

Anders Fridén commanded the stage with a mix of brutal growls and clean vocals, effortlessly shifting between aggression and melody. Björn Gelotte’s guitar work was as sharp as ever, delivering crushing riffs and soaring solos. Chris Broderick, brought plenty of energy, headbanging and covering every inch of the stage. Liam Wilson, the band’s bassist, held everything down with tight, groovy basslines, adding weight to the band’s already massive sound. Meanwhile, Tanner Wayne’s drumming kept the set tight and relentless.

The setlist was a solid mix of old and new, catering to fans of all ages. When they played “Food for the Gods,” the older crowd went wild, while newer tracks like “In the Dark” had younger fans jumping in the pit. When “Voices” kicked in, everyone in the room lost their minds together.

Lighting and visuals added to the intensity, with deep blue and red washes creating a dramatic atmosphere. By the time they closed with “My Sweet Shadow,” the venue was a sea of exhausted but ecstatic metalheads. In Flames may have gone through lineup changes, but their energy and impact remain as strong as ever. Vancouver got a show to remember.

In Flames will be on tour with Machine Head in April & May. Grab your tickets now!
