An Official Street Team for Evil Masquerade has been brought to life by a dedicated group of fans.
They have chosen the name THE DEMOLITION ARMY after a song from "Theatrical Madness".

Their goal is simple: World Domination!
For many years there have been fan pages from all around the world that have been supporting the band independently. Thanks to TDA there is now a common meeting ground for all fans and supporters to unite and enjoy an even greater impact on the world.

Please join them already today and show your support.
Every person counts and is very important to achieve the goal.

Even if you have a limited amount of time, you can still join just to show you care.
If you have a MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, etc. page please also add the banner below to show the world that you support the band.



Do you represent one of the fan pages/clubs or another organisation?
Then please join and add this banner to your webpage.



If you want to get really active - the sky is the limit.
Just join and get to know the nice boys and girls that are already there.

Evil Masquerade are very grateful for every member and look forward to see this Street Team grow strong.

You find them here.


On a related side note we have decided to make a small change to this page and let the Street Team take care of the fan section from now on. The link in the top menu that earlier said FANS, now says STREET TEAM. You will find all fan submitted contributions at this new address. If you have something you want to share, just get in touch with them.

It's high time to introduce the 2010 live lineup.


Jens Berglid (dr) Thor Jeppesen (bs) Apollo Papathanasio (voc) Henrik Flyman (gtr) Mikkel Henderson (key)

Everyone already knows Apollo, Henrik and Thor from previous albums.
Most people are probably familiar with Mikkel as well since he has been on stage with the band before.
New in the band is Jens Berglid behind the drums. Just like Henrik, he's a Swede living in Denmark.
He is probably best known as the drummer from the Danish hardrock band Fate.


January 15, 2010


The first show date is announced.

Copenhagen/DENMARK : Friday, March 12 @ The Rock.

Evil Masquerade would like to thank everyone for a fantastic year. The new album Fade to Black was released, the band won the prestigious JPF Music Awards (Nashville/US) for best song writing in the metal category, more fan pages were launched and the band was featured in several radio shows. But even though both Henrik and Apollo have been seen on stages all around the world - there were no live performances with Evil Masquerade. Here's a X-mas gift for you: This will change during 2010. And it's all thanks to the amazing support you keep showing the band. The first dates are to be announced very soon and more will follow. If you want Evil Masquerade to come to your town it's about time to make your voices heard.

A good start would be to sign up at the Official Evil Masquerade Forum.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
