Pioneering Swedish melodeath turned alternative metal band In Flames confirmed the rumors of their latest drummer’s identity last night, June 02nd. After announcing they parted ways with Tanner Wayne last week, the group have enlisted Jon Rice (Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats, ex-Job For A Cowboy) to fill-in for their immediate live plans. Rice was behind the kit for the band’s European tour kickoff last night in Tallinn, Estonia, with some fan-filmed footage available below.
Rice also commented via his Instagram stories on the show:
“Show #1 done. Thank you for the warm welcome, Tallinn. And thank you to In Flames for having me and trusting me with your tunes.”
