In Flames is without a doubt one of the single most successful metal bands to ever come from Sweden. Forefathers of the Gothenberg sound, not only did they pioneer a genre in the 90s alongside At The Gates and Dark Tranquillity, but left their mark across an entire new wave of modern metal. 24 years into their career, the sounds of In Flames past continues to ripple through the ages as they forge ahead and expand their sound with each subsequently brilliant album.

Originally released in 1996 via Nuclear Blast Records, The Jester Race was the band's second full-length album, but first with current vocalist Anders Friden.
