The Red Masque
Help Fund the Band's New Album
A Kickstarter campaign has been launched to raise funds for the new album, Mythalogue.
Philadelphia avant rock band The Red Masque are heading back into the studio in April 2012 to create their fifth full-length album, Mythalogue. The group will be recording at Orion Sound Studios in Baltimore with Mike Potter as an engineer. Acclaimed musician and producer Bob Drake is mixing the album. The album will include such tracks as "The Dark Salt Sea", "The Wendigo", "The Song for Icarus", "The Minotaur" and "The Labyrinth" (an improvisation), as well as some audio surprises. Mythalogue is a thematic album using world mythology as inspiration. Lyrical content can be found on the band's discography page on their website at www.theredmasque.com/music.html.
The money that the band is asking for will help fund the recording / mixing costs associated with the recording. The Red Masque are asking for $1,500 in donations to help fund Mythalogue. The total recording costs will actually be more than 1,500 dollars, but this amount would greatly help the band fund the project without having to rob their collective savings accounts :). If the band receives funding over this goal, it will be put toward associated costs (like mixing costs, rehearsal room rental etc.).

We've included lots of very exciting and unique incentives to those who choose to donate (from private concerts from the band to original artwork to free music). We hope you will help us reach our goal!
