In early 2016, In Flames began recording a new album in Los Angeles, and finished the recording in April. The new album is being released at the end of the year.

On 25 August 2016, In Flames posted a YouTube link to a new song entitled "The End" along with a new profile picture with the In Flames logo accompanied by the word "Battles". It was later revealed the same day that Battles will be the title of their twelfth studio album, and is set for release on 11 November 2016 through Nuclear Blast. The following day, they released another song for streaming on YouTube and Spotify, titled 'The Truth'.

On 17 September 2016 the band announced on their Facebook page that Joe Rickard, formerly of American rock band RED, who performed session drums on Battles is now the new permanent drummer, replacing Daniel Svensson.
