Check out the video for "Touch of red" from In Flames: http://www.nuclearblast.de/media/video/NB_1231.ram

In Flames has cancelled their appearance at CBGBs in NYC on September 29 as vocalist Anders Fridén's girlfriend is pregnant and contractions started yesterday, weeks earlier than expected. I'm assuming then that he rushed back home and is now a happy father, so congrats!

Rockfoto.nu has pics from the recent In Flames show and DVD shoot at Sticky Fingers in Göteborg.
