Subterranean Masquerade is a progressive metal band that was formed in 1997 by Tomer Pink, who is a guitarist and primary songwriter for the band.
Overview
Consisting mainly of Tomer Pink and Jake DePolitte alongside a variety of changing guest and session musicians—including members from bands such as Winds, Novembers Doom, Agalloch, and Epoch of Unlight—the project aims release a trilogy of records which follow the story of an everyman known only as X. While mainly described as progressive metal,[1] Subterranean Masquerade incorporates elements of jazz,[2] psychedelic rock,[3] and avant-garde metal,[4] with occasional death metal vocals.
The release of the 2004 EP, Temporary Psychotic State, garnered high acclaim for the band among the underground metal scene.[citation needed] The 2005 album Suspended Animation Dreams received more mixed reviews.[citation needed] In January 2007, Pink confirmed on the band's official forum that the recordings of the third album had begun, and that it would be entitled In Pastille Colors.[5]
