The album was the band's second full-length album released following the more mainstream success of their 1995 EP, Subterranean. The Jester Race was recorded at Studio Fredman by Fredrik Nordström, who also contributed keyboards for the album.
The song "Dead Eternity" was originally on the Subterranean (EP) and the song "Dead God in Me" was originally on the Subterranean (EP) but with a different title, "The Inborn Lifeless". Although, the version on The Jester Race has different lyrics, a different ending, and a slightly different solo.
The Jester Race ranked No. 79 on Metal Rules' list of the Top 100 Heavy Metal Albums.[4] It is considered a classic album of the melodic death metal genre,[5] along with At the Gates' Slaughter of the Soul and Dark Tranquillity's The Gallery,[6] exhibiting the dual guitar leads, growled vocals and acoustic sections typical of the genre.
A remixed version of the song "Moonshield" was released on the EP Trigger. A video for the song "Artifacts of the Black Rain" was also released.
Trivium frontman Matthew K. Heafy revealed in an interview with Wall of Sound that The Jester Race is "the one metal album you should have heard by now."[7]
