Antemasque (stylized as ANTEMASQUE) is an American rock band formed in 2014 by former members of At the Drive-In and The Mars Volta, Omar Rodríguez-López and Cedric Bixler-Zavala. Their first album featured Red Hot Chili Peppers's Flea on bass and Dave Elitch on drums.[2][3] Both Flea and Elitch had previously played with The Mars Volta.[4] Despite initial reports to the contrary, Flea is not a member of the group but only played on their first album and let the band use his recording studio.[5] Omar's brother Marfred Rodríguez-López (formerly of Zechs Marquise) eventually joined as a permanent bassist. The band has also recruited Blink-182 member Travis Barker for drumming duties.
History
On April 9, 2014 the project was announced, and they released their first single "4AM" on the same day.[1] Rolling Stone described the song as "a charging, punkish rocker with the sorts of squiggly noodling that both the Mars Volta guys and Flea have used as calling cards in their respective groups."[4] The next day, the band released a second song, "Hangin in the Lurch", on their bandcamp page which is described as a mix of progressive rock and punk rock.[6] The song's description mentions that it will be released on an upcoming self-titled album.[7] Their third single "People Forget" was released on April 11, 2014.[8] On April 15, the band released their fourth single, "Drown All Your Witches".[9]
Their self-titled debut album was released on November 10, 2014. On November 2, 2015, the band debuted eight new songs from an upcoming release, tentatively titled Saddle on the Atom Bomb.[10]
