SUBMASQ

Formed in 1997, Subterranean Masquerade emerged with a distinct vision: to blend the intricate structures of progressive rock, the heavy atmosphere of doom metal, and the vibrant textures of 1970s psychedelic rock. The band crafts music that balances the intensity of extreme metal with the expansive, free-flowing soundscapes reminiscent of Pink Floyd and Iron Butterfly. While the concept of breaking down genre barriers isn't entirely novel, Subterranean Masquerade's commitment to this philosophy, coupled with grand production, results in a rich and varied musical experience, a true sonic masquerade.

The band's initial foray into the music world occurred in 2000 with a cover of Peter Murphy's "Cut's You Up." This track, featured on an 80s metal cover compilation, showcased collaborations with notable musicians, including Tomas Lindberg of At the Gates and Kobi Farhi of Orphaned Land, with production by Dori Bar Or from Eternal Gray.
