'''Evil Masquerade''' is a Danish heavy metal band. |
|||
==Biography== |
|||
Evil Masquerade was founded in the summer of 2003 in [[Copenhagen]] by guitarist [[Henrik Flyman]] ([[Lacrimosa (band)|Lacrimosa]], ex [[Wuthering Heights (band)|Wuthering Heights]], [[Moahni Moahna]], [[ZooL]]). He hooked up with Dennis Buhl (ex [[Hatesphere]]) behind the drums, Kasper Gram on bass and [[Henrik Brockmann]] (ex-[[Royal Hunt]]) on vocals to record the band's debut album. It was released early 2004 under the name "[[Welcome to the Show]]". It almost immediately received worldwide recognition and made the charts in Japan at # 8. One year later it was followed up with their second album "[[Theatrical Madness]]". A couple of line up changes took place and new singer [[Apollo Papathanasio]] and bass player Thor Jeppesen entered the studio with Flyman and Buhl to record the album "Third Act" which took the band to a new level of fame when it was re-released 2007 (a year after the original release date in Europe and Asia) in the US. Flyman never left the studio and wrote their fourth studio album "Fade To Black" which was recorded by yet a new lineup, with only vocalist Apollo and Flyman himself as the remaining members. New drummer was Daniel Flores (Mind’s Eye, Tears of Anger, [[ZooL]]) and new bass player [[Johan Niemann]] ([[Therion (band)|Therion]], [[Evergrey]], [[Hubi Meisel]], Demonoid, Mind’s Eye). In 2009 Henrik Flyman and Evil Masquerade won the prestigious [[Just Plain Folks Music Awards]] in the category Best Metal Song with "Bozo the Clown". Then Flyman brought back the "Third Act" lineup and spent a large part of 2010 composing the band's fifth album Pentagram which is now recorded and waiting to be released. |
