The Dark Masquerade is a collaborative remix EP by vocalist, Destini Beard and Midnight Syndicate.

The EP blends Destini's original lyrics and vocals with previously released songs from Midnight Syndicate's albums.

A previously unreleased gothic rock remix of Troubled Times was used in the title track, Dark Masquerade.

[1][2] In an interview with Black Gate Magazine, Midnight Syndicate composer, Edward Douglas, said The Dark Masquerade came about when Destini Beard sent the band a recording of her singing lyrics over top of one of their songs.

[1] The success of the EP led to a subsequent full-length collaborative remix album entitled, A Time Forgotten, which was released in August 2012.
