 Opinions and other informations:

    

Mascarada was born at early 1988. After some searching and a number of changes, Mascarada manage at least to assemble a stable line up and they record their first demo.From 1989 on the band undergone a good number of changes, but finally a new line up is ready and they record "Restos del Amanecer", that received very good reviews, despite the bit too much Marillion-like sound of the group, mainly due to the guitar playing stile of Carlos Mostoles. From then on, the work of the band became increasingly complex, and more personal.The band splits up in 1991. But Juan and Daniel choose to continue working with the names of Mascarada, considering that most of the ideas that gave birth to the group are still valid, and Mascarada still has a lot to say. In 1992 they produce their first work as a two-piece band, "The Tower (and other strange places). Since then, Mascarada has produces two other works: "The World Jones Made" and the last one, "Urban Names", which was released early in 1997. Juan Mares
