Masquerade – Blood Is The New Black

Five tracks long, the Helsinki band’s Blood is the New Black EP delivers an impressive assortment of songs. As a whole, the EP echoes heavily with the twin influences of American deathrock and early 80s UK gothic rock/”positive punk” (Blood and Roses, Brigandage) with a dash of the early UK peace/anarcho-punk that has crept into the revivalist form of this genre.
