Details:
Masque is a rock theater project that sound like a cross between old David Bowie/Sisters of mercy and some tribal elements with a hard rock edge laced with Cello, Piano and a bunch of vampire imagery.
Lyrically and thematically it's all about the vampire and gothic literature, but it's not what one what traditionally call Goth music. A newspaper once described it as the "album that the vampire Lestat would have made", even though the Anne Rice references on it are cursory at most. A fan who purchased the album called it " dark, haunting and beautiful".If you like something that stimulates the emotions and the mind as well as the imagination and not just your adrenaline then you'll probably love this whole trip.But don't get me wrong , this isn't background music it captivates and rocks. This album could be considered the least likely to be picked up by a commercial radio station or A&R talent scout simply because it doesn't attempt to fall into any crassly cobbled together genre or formula. It is ,in essence, a rock opera that was designed as a labor of love for it's own sake.
Masque's Vampire Theater is the creation of singer/songwriter Lavorel who lives in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Originally a harder rocking band from New Mexico named Masque,Lavorel and C.S Whittemore the last remaining members of the band, moved to California. After adding some tracks to pre-existing material and recording various guest musicians to beef up the production ,Lavorel remixed the sessions to produce Masque the album. Plans are being made to put on a full blown theatrical show to accompany the music at some future date.
