In Flames began when three members of Ceremonial Oath — Jesper Str?mblad, Anders Frid?n and Anders Iwers — quit the band in order to start a musical project of their own. Together with bassist Johan Larsson and guitarist Glenn Ljungstr?m, they recorded a short demo which was sent to a few recording labels. The owner of Wrong Again Records thought the band had promise, and soon closed a recording deal with them. From this deal surfaced In Flames' first album - entitled Lunar Strain - which relied on death grunts for vocals and aggressive instrumental work, at times combined with acoustic sections.

However, In Flames soon became known to most of Europe with the release of the EP from 1995 Subterranean. The EP attracted the attention of the Nuclear Blast label, which offered them a contract for an European release on the same year.
