I, the Mask is the thirteenth studio album by Swedish metal band In Flames, released on 1 March 2019.[1][2][3] It is the band's first release since Whoracle (1997) without longtime bassist Peter Iwers,[4] and the last to feature Joe Rickard on drums.[5] It is the debut album for bassist Bryce Paul and drummer Tanner Wayne.[6]

A chiptune reimagined version of the album (programmed by Sam Brown) was released in March 2020 via Better Noise Music to celebrate the album's first anniversary.[7]

Loudwire named it one of the 50 best metal albums of 2019.[8]
