Evil Masquerade

Evil Masquerade is a Scandinavian heavy metal band formed in 2003.

Biography

Evil Masquerade was founded 2003 in Copenhagen by Swedish guitarist Henrik Flyman (Lacrimosa, ex-Wuthering Heights, ex-Moahni Moahna, ex-ZooL). Together with drummer Dennis Buhl (ex-Hatesphere), bass player Kasper Gram and vocalist Henrik Brockmann (ex-Royal Hunt) they set off to record the band's debut album that was released early 2004 under the name Welcome to the Show. It almost immediately received worldwide recognition and made the charts in Japan at # 8. One year later it was followed up with their second album Theatrical Madness.

A couple of line up changes took place and new singer Apollo Papathanasio (Spiritual Beggars, ex-Firewind, ex-Time Requiem) and bass player Thor Jeppesen entered the studio with Flyman and Buhl to record the album Third Act. This album took the band to a new level of fame when it was re-released in 2007 in the USA, one year after the original release in Europe and Asia. The fourth studio album Fade To Black saw yet another change in the line-up with only Henrik Flyman and Apollo Papathanasio remaining from the previous album. New members were drummer Daniel Flores (The Murder of My Sweet, Mind’s Eye, Tears of Anger, ZooL) and bass player Johan Niemann (Therion, Evergrey, Hubi Meisel, Demonoid, Mind’s Eye).

The Wind Will Rise

by: Evil Masquerade

You’ll never touch the gold
The treasure that you’re seeking
You know it all belongs to me
There is a curse untold
It brings eternal bleeding
And pain to all of you untrue
Don’t touch it
Don’t come near it
Worship’s allowed but fear it
Or meet with the Lady from Hell (/Lucy from Hell)
The wind will rise and hide what you’re seeking
It makes your eyes go blind
Step by step you try to find
And steel what’s mine (/Don’t steel what’s mine)
You’ll never see the light
When eyes of yours are burning
The only thing you’ll feel is pain
You’d better turn around
Leave before I see you
