In Flames Sell Almost 90K CDs and Prepare for SOTU

On the topic of the band heading up the "Sounds of the Underground" tour, IN FLAMES front man Anders Fridén states, "IN FLAMES are thrilled to return to North America for our third tour of 2006. We have heard a lot of good things about the Sounds of the Underground tour from friends who took part in last year's festival. We know that there will be a lot of good music and good partying. And we also look forward to some intense games of poker backstage."

IN FLAMES' "Come Clarity" is available now via Ferret Music. The album has shifted nearly 90,000 units in the few months since its release and debuted at # 58 on Billboard's Top 200 chart with first week sales of just under 24,000 copies. On the strength of the single "Take This Life", the album vaulted to the top of the college radio and commercial specialty Hard Rock charts in just its second week and subsequently led to the first U.S. commercial radio campaign in the band's storied history. A second single, for the album's title track, is expected to be issued this summer
