The spearheads of Israeli avantgarde and progressive oriental metal are back with their most diverse album yet!
Subterranean Masquerade, which until not long ago was considered a cult studio project for fine taste followers (published by the end records, Vicisolum), has transformed over the last two years into an exciting, colorful live act, mixing the traditions of heavy metal together with the aesthetics of world music performance, spiritual punk and pure Rock’N’Roll.
Praised by music journalists all over EU, Subterranean Masquerade have taken over the stages as supporter acts for Orphaned Land, Therion, Sons of Apollo, Dirty Shirts, Harakiri for the Sky and many more – showcasing a distinctly audacious execution of their complex songwriting while maintaining an almost magical grip on their audience, reviewed as rave parties for metalheads. Now, the band is heading towards new grounds;
With their new album “Mountain Fever”, recorded between Golan Heights to Fascination Street Studio (engineered by David Castillo) and mixed by Jens Bogren (Leprous, Katatonia, Opeth), Subterranean Masquerade keep on pushing the balance between pioneering experimentalism to their own take on nowadays pop culture and its manifestation in the middle east, revealing an album 54 minutes long, comprised of African and Balkan brass sections, Arab violins, extended vocal techniques and guest appearances by colleagues from bands such as Orphaned Land and Melechesh, while exploring radio friendly hooks that emerge out of heavy riffs and polychromatic arrangements.
