In Flames
In Flames has been awarded four "Grammis" awards (the Swedish equivalent of the Grammy Awards) to date. In 2005, In Flames won their first "Grammis" award in the category of Best Hard Rock/Metal Album for "Soundtrack to Your Escape". In 2006, In Flames won the Swedish Export Award, their second "Grammis" award. In Flames was the first metal band to ever win that award and the Swedish economy minister at the time, Thomas Östros, was quoted as saying "Thanks to In Flames, Sweden now have a metal band in the absolute world elite." In 2007, In Flames once again won the category of Best Hard Rock/Metal Album for "Come Clarity". They have also won the "Best international Band" award from the Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards in 2008.
