Welcome to the Masquerade is the fifth studio album by Canadian Christian rock band Thousand Foot Krutch. Returning to their earlier nu metal style inspired by Linkin Park, Welcome to the Masquerade presents a refined version of the sound featured on second studio album Phenomenon. Released on September 8, 2009 by Tooth & Nail Records, the album entered the Billboard 200 at No. 35 and the Christian Album charts at No. 2.

Before its release, band frontman Trevor McNevan stated that "the new record is definitely more aggressive. In some areas, it's the heaviest we've ever been."
