Here is what Svensson had to say, "Time to turn the page... I have decided to close my chapter in In Flames after finishing up this current tour.It has truly been a fantastic journey and I want to thank Anders, Bj�rn, Peter, Jesper and Niclas from the bottom of my heart, for all great memories and experiences that we've shared during the last 17 years(!) together.

"It's hard to leave what have become my second family, but now it's time for me to take care and spend more time with the most important people in my life - my wife and my three daughters.

"Perhaps some of you of will see me again, as I will start my very own brewery in a very near future. Something I am just as passionate about as In Flames.
