The Danes around bandchef Henrik Flyman are back with Evil Masquerade and their third album „Third Act“. Here they wanted to go directly surely and actually wrote songs for two complete albums, but just only half of the Songs appear, in order to secure a certain quality standard. Changes in the LINE UP seemed likewise inevitable. Now Thor Jeppesen serves the bass. Also Apollo Papathanasio (Ex-Majestic, Ex-Time Requiem, Ex-Firewind) is on board. Completely in the tradition of the first two Evil Masquerade albums, again Keyboarder was invited as a guest musician. (Although I must mark here that I do not know the two previous albums!) As on the other albums before is Richard Andersson heard again on „Third Act“ , too. Newcomer is Keys legend David Rosenthal (Rainbow, Malmsteen, Vai, Whitesnake, Dream Theater etc…), his inclusion is still for more brilliance ensured. Henrik Flyman was responsible for the guitar parts and production. His playing adapts perfectly like a glove to the sound and works never covered. We even get hard reef, explosive Lead guitars, beautiful melodies, acoustic guitars and some Slidesounds. The Production is hard and fits likewise to the music. For the mix and mastering is Tommy Hansen (Helloween, TNT, Jorn) responsible. For me "Third act" seems to be a typical power metal album. Already the first Songs suggests. Power-loaded, fast changing rhythms and guitars like Dream theater and Malmsteen hysteria, only a Touch more melodic. All Songs are in the same pattern, times it's harder and faster, times again more slowly and more long-drawn-out. The singing adapts to the rhythm and the eternal guitarplaying and solos goes also to me sometimes quite on my nerves, even if I hear the guitars rattle/clink really gladly sometimes. The singing way of Apollo somehow reminds me of Fates Warning abit, just more gentle. Ramming Songs is also not missing here. A Instrumentalsong with orchestra participates also and the last Song of this disk is the calmest one of all, so a kind hymn, as I see it. In the whole is the album quite strong, but nothing world-moving new. Who likes the mentioned bands before, sure nothing do wrong to bye it. But you really don´t need it. My faves: : Third Act, Black Raves Cry, Descended From the Grave, Far Away, I´ll Make You Burn, Under the Surface of Water und Bring On the world.
