Haunted Mask Discusses A Trio of Single's and Tour Incoming Soon!

 


Metalcore band HAUNTED MASK have a couple of single's out to their name, with another single out just in time for Valentine's this year! They have played a handful of shows already, and will head out on tour, promote said single's, and get in the studio sometime soon to unleash their debut EP! They discuss all of this below.

 

1. Where did you get the idea for the band name, you planned it or came out just like that?

Our guitarist Cesar got the idea of our name from a Goosebumps book The Haunted Mask.

2. Why did you want to play this genre?

I grew up listening to metalcore bands like Bring Me The Horizon and Asking Alexandria and thought they were super cool and I wanted to play stuff that sounded like that.

3. Did you know each other before the band was formed?

Our guitarist Cesar has been my best friend since we were 12 so we’ve always hung out and played music together, I’ve met our drummer Dylan and our bassist through playing in other bands with them over the years.

4. Where is the band based out of and what is your music scene like there? Are there any local bands you could recommend?

Our band is based in the Bay Area in California which has a super cool thriving hardcore/metal scene! Our good friends in HVN, Vice In Vanity, and The Beauty In Death are all dope bands from this scene that should be checked out!

5. Who or what inspires you to write songs?

The fact that I get to make music with my friends inspires me to write cool stuff that we all have fun playing, it’s even better when people enjoy these songs that we write!  

6. What are your songs about? (What specific themes do they cover?)

The lyrics I write tend to gravitate around negative emotions that I’ve had, like regret or sadness, I feel like its cathartic letting that all out into our music, especially when I’m screaming these words lol.

7. Do you write your own songs? (Discuss the songwriting process in detail.)

Yes, we do write our own songs, our process is kinda like a weird “conveyer belt” situation where one of us has an idea, then another one of us will add on or tweak the idea, it eventually gets made into a rough demo where I will then scream/sing random (sometimes gibberish) lines until they turn into something cohesive and then finally I’ll write actual lyrics about whatever I’m feeling at the moment.

8. What have you released so far and what can someone expect from your works?

So far we’ve released 2 singles: “Self Inflicted” and “Void” which are both up on all streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, as well as their respective videos up on YouTube.

9. Do you have any new music in the works?

We have a new single coming out on February 11th 2025 called “Never Be” which I’m super excited about!

10. How about playing shows and touring, have anything planned out?

We’ve played a handful of shows that have been super fun and have our first weekender tour coming up on Valentine’s Day weekend!

11. What plans do you have for the future as a band?

As of right now our goal is to prep for the upcoming tour and focus on promoting our upcoming single, we also plan to get back in the studio to finally record our first EP!

12. Where can we listen to your band and where can we buy your stuff?

All our stuff is up on all platforms, and you can buy merch from us at shows! Find us online: https://linktr.ee/hauntedmaskband
