Israeli prog-rockers Subterranean Masquerade are confirmed to enter the Fascination Street Studios with Daniel Castillo in January to record mix and master the follow-up to their 2017 masterpiece, "Vagabond".

The new album, with the working title "Mountain Fever", will see the band exploring fields like Indian ragas, Hasidic music, Middle-eastern arrangements, Goa psychedelics and metal. But these are only the tips of the iceberg - enter the world of these high gained vagabonds, see the world through their sound!

!or as lead singer Vidi Dolev puts it: World music and Metal. Every step is a new sound, and with Subterranean Masquerade, a band that literally never stops moving - new is a norm.

Signed to the Swedish label Vicisolum Records (Persefone, Manticora, Loch Vostok, a.o.) for a 2-album deal, Subterranean Masquerade's last album "Vagabond" was released on September 1st, 2017.

Subterranean Masquerade is one of the most exciting ethnic-influenced prog-artists to emerge from the underground layer these days. It's prog-rock, but it's also psychedelic 70'ies metal. It's "Jesus Christ Superstar" but it's also Israeli folklore and traditional heavy metal - all wrought through the grinder and delivered perfectly by a bunch of very talented musicians.

Some reactions from the press:

"this album is a euphoric, fun experience that makes you want to come back for more, with the riffs, motions, and lyrics sticking in your head for days " (It Djent)

"Long story short, if you like prog metal, genre mashups, or metal that's more uplifting than dreary, this the album you should be checking out. " (Metal Underground)

"Any fan of prog metal that is actually interested in music progressing would do well to check it out. High recommended" (Metal Wani)
