Subterranean Masquerade is a progressive metal band from Brooklyn that was formed in 1997 by Tomer Pink, who is a guitarist and primary songwriter for the band. Consisting mainly of Tomer Pink and Jake DePolitte alongside a variety of changing guest and session musicians--including members from bands such as Arcturus, 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, Subterranean Masquerade incorporates elements of jazz, psychedelic rock, and avant-garde metal. The release of the 2004 EP, Temporary Psychotic State, garnered high acclaim for the band among the underground metal scene. The 2005 album Suspended Animation Dreams received more mixed reviews. 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.
