about

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.

Veil of Imagination

The songs are masterfully composed and flow together beautifully, and the orchestration is exactly how I want metal orchestration to sound: full, playable by a real orchestra, and just as important to the music as the vocals, drums, guitar, and bass are. tonycordeshimself

Dwellers of the Deep
by Wobbler

supported by 9 fans who also own “Mountain Fever (Hi-Rez 24 Bit)”

This might be the least folky of the Wobbler releases and I wasn't sure about it at all. After a few listens however I'm loving the inventiveness and the endless melodies, all driven along by Kristian Hultgren's wonderful percussive bass. PartTimeZombie

Perhaps a softer, more “pop-forward” album compared to Inmazes and Witness however equally as effective. Vola simply know how to make approachable and great music. 8/10 RJ

The album takes off nicely with David Longdon's "The Strangest Times", but then gets into immediate free fall and deeply underwater for the next few tracks, quite unexpectedly. Fortunately, it recovers with Nick D'Virgilio's "Apollo" (hey, this guy CAN write good music, although he hides this ability most of the time) and the remaining three tracks, one of which is another Longdon masterpiece. So in the end the final impression is somewhat in the positive range. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
