Clayman [China]

About Clayman [China]

Clayman is the fifth album by Swedish metal band In Flames. The album was released by Nuclear Blast on 25 of July, 2000. On this Album, most of the lyrics deal with depression and internal struggles. The album's cover art is based on Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man drawing. This is the final In Flames Album to feature their original Melodic Death Metal sound. The band would later start to experiment with other styles of metal on their next release, Reroute to Remain, gradually progressing these more experimental elements across their future releases later into the 2000s. The Jester Head appears in the background, both on the cover, and in the album booklet itself. Music videos were made for "Pinball Map" (directed by Tamara Jordan) and "Only for the Weak". more »
