Come Clarity is the eighth studio album by the Swedish metal band In Flames. The album was released on February 3, 2006 in Europe through Nuclear Blast Records and February 7 in the U.S. through Ferret Records.
This album was originally entitled Crawl Through Knives but was changed to its current title and the track itself is listed incorrectly on some programs as "Crawling Through Knives" along with others such as "Reflect the Storm" as "Reflect the End", and "Versus Terminus" as "End of All Things".
This album features the artwork of Derek Hess, who is popular among metal bands and has produced artwork for Converge and Sepultura amongst others. Specifically with Sepultura, their album Roorback's artwork has a similarity.
The song "Take This Life" is featured in Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock and music videos were produced for this song along with "Come Clarity".
The drums, vocals, keys and programming recorded at "Dug Out Studio" and Guitars and Bass recorded at "The Room". This album was mixed and mastered at "Tonteknik Recording".
Stylistically this harkens back to the band's heavier roots with elements of the alternative style still present. The band had claimed the sound would be "a bit of the old and a bit of the new".
Come Clarity features the return of the guitar harmonies and the solos to the band, and can be described as a combination of their older melodic death metal sound with their newer alternative sound.
The song "Dead End" is the fourth In Flames song to feature female vocals (the others are "Everlost, Pt. 2" from Lunar Strain, "Whoracle" from Whoracle and "Metaphor" from Reroute to Remain.)
The album debuted at number 1 in Sweden and number 58 on the United States Billboard 200; in the latter country, selling almost 25,000 copies in its first week, and 50,000 in its first month. Since its release, the album has sold more than 110,000 copies in the United States. The album has also sold over 400,000 copies worldwide.
