Siren Charms is the eleventh studio album by the Swedish metal band In Flames. It was released on September 5, 2014 and September 9th in the United States via Sony Music Entertainment. The last album to feature long time drummer Daniel Svensson before his departure in 2015.
The eighth track on the disc, "Rusted Nail", was the lead single released on June 13, 2014. Shortly after this release they also briefly streamed a second new track 'Through Oblivion' online. On 9 September 2014 In Flames released their new music video for the song "Everything's Gone."
The album has received generally mixed reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from critics, the album received an average score of 52, which indicates "mixed or average reviews", based on 4 reviews. Gregory Heaney of Allmusic described Siren Charms as "a bit too casual." However he stated it as "a solidly written and executed metal album" and that fans of the bands latest material will likely enjoy it. Kyle Ward of Sputnikmusic however panned the album, describing it as "an unforgivable misstep containing oversights in both songwriting and execution that such a veteran band should be able to spot and correct."
All tracks written by Anders Fridén and Björn Gelotte.
Note: Track times contain an extra two seconds of silence at the end of each song on the Deluxe CD version of the album.
