Interview By Alison Booth

Scandinavian metallers EVIL MASQUERADE  released their new album “The Outcast Hall Of Fame” on 19th May via Dark Minstrel Music. The album was produced by Henrik Flyman and mixed and mastered by Tommy Hansen (Helloween, Pretty Maids, Jorn).

The personnel for this album is a little different to previous ones as there are four contributing vocalists, creating a very unique style and sound. We recently caught up with mainman Henrik Flyman to find out more about the album. An excerpt from the interview can be read below and you can hear the full audio on the player:

Discussing the album Henrik stated:

“It’s been going better and better. I think the whole thing with the album and songwriting feels better than ever and it’s probably one of the easiest albums I’ve wrote somehow. There’s eight songs on this album and I wrote maybe ten or twelve and that’s quite unusual. It feels really good I must say.”

Featuring on vocals:
• MATS LEVÉN (Candlemass)
• RICK ALTZI (Masterplan, At Vance)
• APOLLO PAPATHANASIO (Spiritual Beggars)
• NICKLAS SONNE (Defecto)

On backing vocals:
• YENZ LEONHARDT (Stormwarrior, Lacrimosa)

Performed by the usual suspects:
• HENRIK FLYMAN – guitar & vocals
• DENNIS BUHL – drums
• THOR JEPPESEN – bass
• ARTUR MEINILD – keyboard
