Regular In Flames sticksman Daniel Svensson (photo), will sit out his band\'s tour while awaiting the birth of his second child. In Flames state on their web site:

\"We asked an old friend of ours, Tobbe Kellgren, to handle the drums for the tour and he gladly accepted.\"

Svensson will rejoin the fold in late January 2006 when In Flames will kick of a headlining trek across the United States. Europe follows from early March until the end of April.

In Flames\'s new album, \"Come Clarity\", is set of release in February. The follow-up to 2004\'s album \"Soundtrack to Your Escape\" was mixed at Tonteknik studio in Umeå, Sweden.
