California Doomsters Sea of Snakes Release "Behind the Mask" Single Ahead of Upcoming Album
Sea of Snakes has released Behind the Mask, the debut single from their upcoming album Magmantus (slated for release on April 2, 2026).
Says the band:
"We wrote this track as a reflection on the figures that try to tell you how to live and dress. The people that try to hold you back. The people that tell you what you can and can't say.
The self-serving, the ones hiding behind moral façades. We see through it. Hiding behind the mask. We personally don't need that crap.
Riffs first.
No polish. No sugarcoating.
Turn it up. Stay heavy."
Sea of Snakes - Behind the Mask
Somehow, in spite of the rumbling doom riffs and stormy drums that Behind the Mask opens with, the track feels especially raw, open, and ever-so-slightly stripped down. In this way, it's already apparent that Sea of Snakes intends to be unapologetically honest with their listeners about a very relatable topic, all while staying true to their trademark weighty sound. That sense of openness really blooms near the song's midway point, as Jason Busiek's vocals (giving a stellar performance as always) take off and soar triumphantly, and the instrumentals begin to follow suit. By the song's end, there's a keen sense of victory over those masked hypocrites, as well as a newfound sense of confidence and connection among those that choose to stay true to themselves and keep their eyes open. While Sea of Snakes always packs a powerful, doom-laden punch, Behind the Mask is particularly heavy in a very meaningful way.
Be sure to give Behind the Mask a spin for yourself, be on the lookout for Magmantus to drop VERY soon, and show this incredible band some much-deserved love!
