Björn Gelotte (born in 1975) is a songwriter and guitarist for the Swedish band In Flames. He joined the band after drummer Daniel Erlandsson left, and was then the drummer for the next two albums, The Jester Race and Whoracle. Gelotte switched to his current position on guitars after Glenn Ljungström also left the band. To fill the position of drummer, In Flames picked up Daniel Svensson, drummer from Sacrilege. This line up has not changed since, with the exception of a temporary break currently being observed by guitarist Jesper Strömblad.

[edit] Other projects

Before joining In Flames, Björn Gelotte was a member of Sights.

He is currently involved in a side project called All Ends, which he and his In Flames bandmate Jesper Strömblad write the songs for. Björn's sister is one of the singers for All Ends. Neither of them plan to play in the side project live due to In Flames' demanding schedule.

[edit] Equipment

The guitar used by Björn Gelotte is the Gibson Les Paul custom with EMG 81 and 85 active humbuckers guitar. He also uses Peavey 5150 II amp heads, POD and other Line6 equipment, Elixir custom strings, and Jim Dunlop plectrums.
