Iron Mask and Mark Boals split

Posted on February 26, 2014 by | 1 Comment

Belgian guitar maestro Dilshan Petrossi has sadly announced this week that singer Mark Boals is no longer part of the line up.

Says the guitarist in a statement, “I’ve come a long way since Iron Mask was founded, but the love for the music and band will never fade. The fifth album (“Fifth Son Of Winterdoom”) has been released, again by AFM Records, and has received super reviews and a lot of promotion. For the last two albums Mark Boals and I worked together many times, and he gave me the vocals I heard in my head, whilst composing the songs.” Read more »
