In 2003, In Flames released Trigger, an EP that features the title track backed with a remix, a cover of Genesis' "Land of Confusion", and two music videos. It was followed by Soundtrack to Your Escape in 2004, which peaked at number 3 in Sweden, and number 7 on the Billboard Independent Albums chart.^[1][3] The album produced a single for "The Quiet Place", which followed the success of the album and reached number 2 in their home country.^[1] Used & Abused: In Live We Trust (2005), was the band's debut video album, and their first release to top the Swedish chart.^[4] Following the same blueprint, Come Clarity (2006) topped the Finnish and Swedish charts, and reached number 2 on the Billboard Top Independent Albums,^[3] number 6 in Germany,^[5] as well as the top 30 in three additional European countries. The album was backed by the single "Come Clarity", which was released in a limited edition that reached number 52 in their home country.^[1] Before they released their ninth studio album, In Flames issued the single "The Mirror's Truth", which peaked at number 5 in Finland.^[2] Their ninth studio album, A Sense of Purpose (2008), topped the Swedish and Billboard Independent Albums charts,^[1][3] and reached top 10 in Austria, Finland, and Germany.^[2][5][6] In Flames were featured on Pendulum's 2010 album Immersion, on a song called "Self vs Self". In Flames signed with Century Media after completing their recording contract with Nuclear Blast in 2011. Sounds of a Playground Fading was then issued as the band's tenth studio album, peaking at number 1 in Germany.^[5] It debuted and peaked at number 27 on the Billboard 200, becoming their highest charting album in the United States, with a single, "Where the Dead Ships Dwell", reaching number 35 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart.^[7]
