Album description:
Masquerade explores social hypocrisy and the silent violence of false pretenses.
This daily mechanism that forces us to wear a face that is not our own, to shape our words, our gestures, our desires in order to avoid punishment, contempt, and exclusion.
Behind the mask: true nature.
The one we suffocate. The one we lock away.
But the mask is also one of concealment: the one we wear to better deceive, hidden beneath the trappings of virtue.
Lurking in the depths, our instinct takes shelter there in silence.
Because the world is a masquerade, this is our Masquerade.
