EVIL MASQUERADE: New Album “The Digital Crucifix” Due In The Spring

January 10, 2014 5:26 PM

Just before Christmas, Tommy Hansen (HELLOWEEN, PRETTY MAIDS, JORN) finalized the mix of Scandinavian band EVIL MASQUERADE‘s upcoming album ‘The Digital Crucifix‘. This is their 6th album and it marks a new important chapter of the band, since it introduces Swedish powerhouse singer Tobias Jansson who joined the band last summer and will be released via Dark Minstrel Music.

Even though the previous album ‘Pentagram’ was released almost two years ago – it still hasn’t had a chance to cool off. It continues to pop up on new radio playlists around the world. The reception has been nothing but amazing.

Henrik Flyman spent about a year (between shows and tours) composing the new album. This has now resulted in, what is likely to be considered, their best collection of songs ever. ‘The Digital Crucifix’ is playful, powerful and sometimes almost aggressive. It has already been described as “Iron Maiden on crack” and “ABBA on speed”. Add some darkness to that and it’s close to the truth. You won’t be disappointed!

And as if this wasn’t enough; EVIL MASQUERADE celebrates 10 years as a band!

This will be an exciting year.
