Back in 2000 when TFK became more known in the Christian Music industry, they had released some pretty solid records music wise. Ever since then they have continued to release solid album after solid album and then we have "Welcome to the Masquerade".
"Welcome to the Masquerade" starts off with "The Invitation" an epic intro then leads into the head banging title track "Welcome to the Masquerade" this track has nicely done vocals and sweet guitar riffs.
According to Wikipedia "Fire it Up" has charted at #31 on the iTunes rock page, #18 on Active rock charts, 35 on the Billboard Rock Charts and #5 on Christianrock.net. The song has been used in numerous promotions by Sports teams, Race drivers and in Movies. A lot of success there.
The first single off the album "Bring me to Life" which was also available as a free download from "Feed the Beat" and is I’d say the best song of the album. "E for Extinction" starts off soft than they bring in the crunchy guitars and get you jumping. "Watching Over Me" slows things down a little on the album is about someone crying out to God. "The Part That Hurts the Most (Is Me)" and "Scream," both are meaningful and hard-rockin’ as the previous tracks. We slow things down with "Look Away" an FM Static style song, but still fits the album. "Forward Motion" is the best of the four ballads and is the most meaningful song off the entire record.
"Outta Control" and "Smack Down" both are high energy. "Outta Control' talks about needing God's help, whereas "Smack Down" is an in-your-face song.
"The closing song "Already Home" is a powerful ballad and the perfect way to close an epic album like this.
If TFK continues like this they are in for even more success. Highlights off the album include E for Extinction, Fire It Up, Already Home, Smack Down, and The Part That Hurts The Most (Is Me).
