A Sense of Purpose is the ninth studio album by melodic death metal band In Flames. The album was released in Europe on April 4, 2008 through Nuclear Blast and through Koch Records in North America on April 1.[2] The album was also released in a limited edition boxset version of which only 1500 copies were made. This release became available on the same day as the European release.[3]
The lead single The Mirror's Truth was officially released on March 7, 2008. The album also received a Parental Advisory label[4], making the album the only In Flames album to have explicit lyrics since Lunar Strain except for the song "Watch Them Feed" from their Trigger EP. The album is the first studio album since Clayman to feature the band's logo, the "Jester Head", on the cover art. The song "The Chosen Pessimist" is the longest recorded In Flames song.
On April 10, the album debuted at #1 on the official Swedish album chart. It also debuted at #28 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, and has since sold 37,400 copies.[5]
On the limited edition of the album, the bonus DVD that comes with the CD is a 160 minute making of the album documentary. In the documentary, it is stated that they recorded 17 songs and there are only 12 on the album and another 3 on the single. This makes 2 previously unknown songs that have not been released yet. In honor of the launch of the album, In Flames launched a special fansite that uses the In Flames icon, the "Jester Head"[6][1]. The artwork for the album cover was done by Alex Pardee, who has created all the cover art for The Used and Aiden's Conviction[7].
