In Flames — Live Concert at Graspop Metal Meeting Festival, Dessel, Belgium, 2025

In June 2025, Swedish melodic death metal band In Flames—genre pioneers with albums like The Jester Race (1996) and Foregone (2023), marking a return to aggressive sound after industrial experiments—performed at Graspop Metal Meeting, one of Europe's oldest metal festivals launched in 1996 in Dessel, Belgium, where their June 22 set formed part of the 28th edition alongside headliners Iron Maiden and Korn. The 90-minute main stage performance, captured professionally, embodied their Europe 2025 Tour climax, where Björn Gelotte's riffs and Anders Fridén's vocals on tracks like "Pinball Map", "The Great Deceiver", and "Deliver Us" sparked collective ecstasy among 80,000 under summer skies. Featuring classics "Only for the Weak" and new "I Am Above", this show highlighted In Flames' veteran status in melodic death metal, turning the festival grounds into a realm of rebellion and unity.
