Praised by music journalists allover Europe and beyond, the band has taken over the stages, showcasing a distinctly audacious execution of theircomplex songwriting while maintaining an almost magical grip on their audience, reviewed as rave parties formetalheads.The band officially announces its new lineup - a fully Israeli collective of musicians handpicked from the top ofIsraels prog scene - under which the band has been touring with and recording since 2018. Now, the band isheading towards new ground, the spearheads of Israeli progressive oriental metal are back with their most diversealbum yet.Their fourth LP Mountain Fever was recorded between Golan Heights to Fascination Street Studio (engineered byDavid Castillo) and mixed by Jens Bogren (Leprous, Katatonia,Opeth).Here, SUBTERRANEAN MASQUERADE continues pushing the balance between pioneering experimentalism to their own take on modern pop culture and its manifestation in the Middle East.
