Henrik Flyman will be featured in a one hour interview on Dave Softee's Metal Meltdown @ Metal Messiah Radio on Saturday (February 6). And of course there will be lots of Evil Masquerade music as well. So mark your calendar because this is a show you don't want to miss.




January 21, 2010

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!
