Their lineup has changed several times, with vocalist [[Anders Fridén]] and guitarist [[Björn Gelotte]] being the only consistent members since 1995. Since the departure of Strömblad in 2010, no original members remain with the band. In Flames helped pioneer [[melodic death metal]] along with fellow Swedish bands [[At the Gates]] and [[Dark Tranquillity]]. The band has sold over two million records worldwide.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.livedaily.com/news/14997.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081216141741/http://www.livedaily.com/news/14997.html|archive-date=16 December 2008|title=In Flames finds 'A Sense of Purpose' in North America|last=Kilgore|first=Kym|date=6 October 2008|publisher=[[LiveDaily]]|access-date=26 April 2009}}</ref> During the band's early years, In Flames had a varying group of musicians recording with them, including many [[session musician]]s. By the release of ''[[Colony (In Flames album)|Colony]]'' (1999), the group had established a stable lineup. Their sixth studio album ''[[Reroute to Remain]]'' (2002) showed the band moving toward a newer style of music that moved further away from melodic death metal and closer to [[alternative metal]].<ref name=Biography>{{cite web |url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/in-flames-mn0000096977/biography |title=In Flames {{!}} Biography & History |publisher=[[AllMusic]] |last=DaRonco |first=Mike |access-date=2 October 2017}}</ref> This decision was criticized by fans of the group's heavier metal sound; however, it increased the band's mainstream audience and bolstered their album sales. Since the band's inception, In Flames have released fourteen [[studio album]]s, three [[Extended play|EPs]], and two live DVDs, their latest release being their fourteenth studio album ''[[Foregone]]'' in 2023. In Flames has been nominated for ten Swedish [[Grammis Awards]]<ref name=Grammis>{{cite web |url= https://grammis.se//?s=In+flames |title=In Flames {{!}} Grammies.se |publisher=[[Grammis]] |last=SE |first=Grammis|access-date=10 May 2024}}</ref> winning seven of them; including “Hard Rock/Metal Album of the Year” category in 2005 for ''[[Soundtrack to Your Escape]]'', 2007 for ''[[Come Clarity]]'', 2009 for ''[[A Sense of Purpose]]'', and most recently in 2024 for Foregone.
