Israel-based Submasq, formerly known as Subterranean Masquerade, have released their new EP, Oedipus, and a video for their cover of Rammstein's "Mutter" - the song here delivered in their native Yiddish tongue and delivered through a bizarre video directed by Yalon Schori.

Vocalist Vidi Dolev reveals: "Together with a poet specialising in Yiddish, my grandmother's tongue, we recreated the song as 'Mame', exploring the space between the Yiddishkeit image of the 'Jewish mother' and a possible transgressive subtext. The result is a respectful, concept-driven reinterpretation rather than just a cover. We also produced a low-budget music video for the piece... While modest in production, we hope it reflects a spirit and intensity inspired by Rammstein's work".

After 25 years of musical exploration and boundary-pushing creativity, long-running Israeli progressive/alt-metal outfit Subterranean Masquerade begins a bold new chapter, officially changing its name to Submasq. By shortening its name to Submasq, the band marks an evolution that reflects both its legacy and its future.

While Submasq continues to complete their impending new album – the follow-up to their acclaimed Mountain Fever, released in 2021 via The Lasers Edge Group's metal label Sensory Records – this week the band unveils their first release with the truncated moniker: a new cover EP titled Oedipus. The EP features three reimagined songs, all revolving around the shared theme of mothers, including Danzig's "Mother", Rammstein's "Mutter", and Genesis' "Mama". Produced and rearranged by the band, Oedipus was mixed and mastered by Arie Aranovich.

With the new name comes a new professional chapter as well. Submasq has signed with Nick Grima Management and is preparing to announce extensive European touring throughout 2026 and 2027.

Submasq carries the spirit of Subterranean Masquerade into the future—refined, reenergised, and focused on what comes next. Watch for further developments to be announced shortly. Link
