IN FLAMES has released the video for the first single from its new album. “The Mirror’s Truth” is the lead song on A Sense of Purpose, its 9th studio album. The band is currently preparing for its run as main support on MEGADETH’s Gigantour. A Sense of Purpose will be released on April 1 via Koch Entertainment. Apparently In Flames does not care much for the people who film and edit music videos, watch the bizarre creatures directing them in the clip below.

Us here in the office, along with just about every Northeastern metal head, has come to make NEW ENGLAND METAL AND HARDCORE FESTIVAL a yearly mecca. 2008 marks the fest’s 10th anniversary and they are pulling out all the stops.

The festival will expand back to a three day event this year, with Friday consuming the entire Gigantour lineup (Megadeth, In Flames, Children of Bodom, Job for a Cowboy and High on Fire). Saturday brings Dimmu Borgir and Shadows Fall, and Sunday will present Meshuggah and Ministry’s final Massachusetts performance before retiring.

Countless other big metal bands are playing, including Overkill, A Life Once Lost, The Dillinger Escape Plan and more. Huge can not begin to describe this show. Check the full lineup and press release after the jump. (more…)
