Subterranean Masquerade release new music video for ‘Mångata’

SUBTERRANEAN MASQUERADE have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Mångata, is taken from the Israeli progressive metal band’s upcoming new album, Mountain Fever, which is scheduled to be released in May this year, via Sensory Records. The new music video was first premiered via Prog Magazine.

The band recorded Mountain Fever at Golan Heights in Israel and the album was engineered by David Castillo. The record was sent to Fascination Street in Örebro, Sweden [LEPROUS, KATATONIA, OPETH] where it was mixed by Jens Bogren and mastered by Tony Lindgren and completed with artwork and layout by Costin Chioreanu of Twilight 13 Media.

The record also features several notable guest contributions, including drums from Matan Shmuely [ORPHANED LAND], bouzouki and lead guitars on Mångata by Idan Amsalem [ORPHANED LAND], and vocals on Somewhere I Sadly Belong by Melechesh Ashmedai [MELECHESH] and Jackie Hole [THE SUPER THINGS].

Speaking about the new song, vocalist Davidavi Dolev says, Mångata is the closing track on our new album, Mountain Fever. It is a song about love, companionship, and language barriers; it is an open end, a vast ocean of longing. Three years ago, I came back to Israel after quite a few years living on/off Scandinavia. I had sunk into its serenity; I fell in love with its melancholy and its rhythm, I lived a different life than the one I’ve had in the Middle East. Mångata in Swedish is the road-like reflection of the moon on the ocean. I loved the idea that no matter what, every night looking at the Mediterranean Sea, I can just step on the water, and go back up north.”
