Colony is a melodic death metal album by In Flames. It was released on June 22, 1999 through Nuclear Blast. It was the first album to feature the current lineup of the band. The album deals with various aspects of religion and spirituality, from the somewhat positive light of "Embody the Invisible" and "The New World," to the more negative "Zombie Inc." and "Scorn". This album features a faster, tighter, and more energetic approach to the music than displayed on the previous album Whoracle, though the song-writing approach is similar.

The tracks "Behind Space '99" and "Clad in Shadows '99" are remakes of tracks first heard on In Flames' debut, with the "Behind Space" remake devoid of its original acoustic guitar outro.

* The title of this track is subject to debate. According to the track list on the back cover of the original 1999 release, the official In Flames web site, and the lyrics printed in the original 1999 CD booklet, the correct title is "The New Word"; however, according to the heading of the lyrics printed for the song in the original booklet, the track list on the 2004 re-release, and the official Nuclear Blast Records web site, the song is called "The New World".
