MOONLIT MASQUERADE “Wreckage” Official Lyric Video

A dream comes true: Nick Layton, lead guitarist and songwriter of the US-American Melodic Metal units FireWölfe and Reign of Glory, has realized a unique project under the name MOONLIT MASQUERADE supported by a bunch of legendary musicians.

 

First appetizer ‚Wreckage‘ features vocalist Zak Stevens & drummer Jeff Plate (both Savatage, Trans-Siberian Orchestra), Barry Sparks on bass(Dokken, Michael Schenker) and Ted Gardner on keyboards.

 

Nick: “I wrote ‚Wreckage‘ specifically for vocalist Zak Stevens, with the goal of capturing some of that Gutter Ballet, Edge of Thorns and Wake of Magellan magic. I think we did it! Please like, share and leave a comment on the video if you dig it!“

 

Apart from the title track ‚Wreckage‘, the limited cardboard-sleeve CD contains two exclusive songs for enthusiasts and collectors, which are neither available digitally nor featured on the longplay album planned for September 2026.
