Melodic metallers Iron Mask have released a video for the track ‘Forever In The Dark’. The song comes off the band’s upcoming album, entitled, Shadow Of The Red Baron, which is scheduled for release by Lion Music in January 2010.

Shadow Of The Red Baron is the follow-up to the critically acclaimed ‘Hordes Of The Brave’ (2005) album and once again features Oliver Hartmann (At Vance, Avantasia, Aina) as guest vocalist.

Guitarist, founding member Dushan Petrossi (Magic Kingdom) comments on the album: “Once again there’s a mix of epic tracks, melodic and neo classical numbers all with great musicians and vocalists, I’m very happy with the choruses of all songs, they stay in your head and this is really what I wanted. Nowadays it seems like bands have forgot how to write good songs, which is for me the most important thing”.

Lion Music statement: Home to a fine collection of melodic neo-classical tracks, this album is full of first class material from start to finish. Chief songwriter and guitar virtuoso Dushan Petrossi’s particular focus this time was to create superb songs first and foremost where the excellent musicianship only lift the music to an even higher level.

‘Shadow Of The Red Baron’ is home to 11 tracks which deliver melodic neo-classical metal yet is accessible enough for fans of traditional metal and power/symphonic metal to get into. Each of the 10 vocal tracks feature addictive vocal melodies in the verses and choruses. Dushan’s virtuoso musicianship is stronger than ever here serving up a feast of metal treats. The lone instrumental ‘Ghost Of The Tsar’ offers up something different with its aggressive vocals used to compliment Dushan’s majestic fretwork.
