Not Your Average Edgar Allen Poe —
The Red Masque Interview

Cover art I had the privilege of seeing the Pennsylvania based quartet, The Red Masque open the show for Present a day prior to NEARfest 2005. I was impressed by how well the quartet handled performing material from the newest CD, Feathers for Flesh on the small stage while their drummer also played keyboard at the same time. Exposé wishes to thank the group for meeting at NEARfest and to drummer and keyboardist Vonorn (aka Brian Van Korn) for submitting additional follow-up answers on-line and prefacing the entire band history.  » Read more
