A film crew is right now planning the promo video for the radio hit "Black Ravens Cry".
The shooting is scheduled to June and will take place in various locations in Denmark.



Due to an unexpectedly high amount of downloads of the new album samples
we experienced technical problems for a couple of hours last night (010506) where download wasn’t possible. This is corrected now and we apologize for the inconvenience.



Hiromi Matsui has many new updates on the Japanese Fansite.





And now what you have been waiting for.

Since the Japanese fans have already had a chance to hear music from Third Act on the radio,
it's only fair that the rest of the world get some samples while you are waiting for the album release.

We had a very hard time picking songs because Third Act is packed with standout tracks.
So the band told us to simply flip coin and use as many tracks as we wanted.

This resulted in five (!!!) songs. Less couldn't do it.
You're welcome!



Third Act (2,0 Mb)
Black Ravens Cry (1,9 Mb)
Under the Surface of Water (1,5 Mb)
I'll Make You Burn (2,0 Mb)
Bring On the World (2,0 Mb)

2006 already looks like it will be a good year for Evil Masquerade. It’s more than one month till the Japanese release of Third Act and the essential radio stations have already started air playing the new material. Bring on the World and Third Act are the first songs to be made public.
