A few weeks ago, the New Wave of Swedish Death Metal architects, In Flames, announced their 14th studio album, Foregone. The album arrives via Nuclear Blast on February 10.
Recently, the band shared the single "Foregone Pt. 1". Today, the band picks up the threads, releasing "Foregone Pt. 2". Watch the video below, and stream the song here.
Frontman Anders Fridén states, "While revisiting songs in our catalog like 'Moonshield' and 'Gyroscope,' I felt we hadn't done that style for awhile. We wanted honor those types of songs which incorporates the Swedish folk vibe, but bring it to the current era of In Flames. Musically and lyrically it is a continuation of 'Foregone'."
Foregone features artwork designed by Blake Armstrong.

As part of Aggronautix ongoing collaboration with Z2 Comics, they proudly present the In Flames Jesterhead "Clock Maker" limited edition action figure, to be sold along the upcoming graphic novel The Jester’s Curse.
The Jesterhead "Clock Maker" limited edition action figure is a 3D representation of the character's appearance on the upcoming album Forgone, coming out February 10 courtesy of Nuclear Blast. The figure, limited to 1,000 numbered units and created/sculpted by Blake Armstrong, is mounted on a full color display blister pack backer card and features a glow-in-the-dark clock face.
First debuting on the cover of In Flames' second studio album, The Jester Race, the Jesterhead has appeared on every studio album ever since. The Clock Maker appears on the cover of Foregone, In Flames' fourteenth studio album and in The Jester’s Curse the band's debut graphic novel from Z2 Comics.
In Flames: The Jester’s Curse channels the post-apocalyptic fantasy behind the quintet’s world. This surreal tale follows the band’s grim mascot, Jesterhead, as he emerges from the Wasteland, where he finds himself trapped in Dead Eternity—a distorted reality where worlds collide and nightmares thrive. The tortured figure attempts to recover his lost memories... but the devious Whoracle Queen wants him first.
Z2 Comics and In Flames present The Jester’s Curse in standard hardcover and deluxe hardcover editions. The deluxe hardcover will come with a print triptych by Blake Armstrong. Oversized platinum editions will come signed by In Flames with an elegant slipcase and the triptych art prints. Z2 Comics will also exclusively release the single “The Great Deceiver” in a crystal-clear 7-inch vinyl with etched B-Side, limited to 500 copies, as well as the limited-edition Jesterhead action figure. All of items are set to release in spring 2023.
