Swedish melodic death metal turned alternative metal band In Flames have partnered with Z2 Comics for an upcoming graphic novel dubbed ‘The Jester’s Curse‘. The following was offered of the plot of the book:
”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.’
In addition to the book (penned by Ben Laverock and Scott Dewey), etched vinyl, art prints and more, a Jesterhead ‘Clock Maker‘ figure will also be featured with select editions. Aggronautix crafted that figure, with pre-orders for the set available here.
The book itself isn’t expected out in the summer of 2023. Well ahead of that will be the February 10th arrival of the band’s fourteenth studio album, “Foregone“.
