DarWin - Distorted Mirror (2025)
Year : 2025
Style : Melodic Progressive Rock
Country : United Kingdom , India
Audio : 320 kbps + front
Size : 106 mb
Bio:
DarWin is an ongoing musical exploration driven by Simon Phillips and DarWin (DW).The music seeks to elevate the power of crafted songs, and the collection of songs into an album experience.Groove, energy, melody and harmony are all simultaneously prioritised. The songs should feel both original but somehow familiar.The duo has collaborated with Matt Bissonette since 2015 as a song writing trio, fusing the diverse interests and experiences of the group. Matt’s vocals provide a soothing sonic resonance over novel rhythmic landscapes. Bass sensation Mohini Dey joined from 2022, contributing her fiery power to the tracks, with virtuoso Greg Howe providing jaw-dropping shred across the albums.Joining up with a hall of fame of musicians over the years, including Derek Sherinian, Billy Sheehan, Guthrie Govan, Julian Pollack (J3PO), Jesse Siebenberg, Andy Timmons, and many more, the group seeks to celebrate our shared love for musicianship and virtuosity.The result is something that must be experienced, preferably at high volume.
Album:
Prog-Rock supergroup DarWin today announce the upcoming release of their new studio album, “Distorted Mirror”, on 26th September 2025 via OoS/Phantom Recordings. Today they also release a new song from the album, “Loophole.” “Distorted Mirror” is the follow up to last year’s hit release, Five Steps on the Sun, and picks up exactly where the last album left off, with original and creative rock songs that continue to break new ground. The album is a true journey, packed with intricate melodies, sledgehammer grooves and wall-to-wall virtuoso playing. The 8 track album should be listened to in its entirety, from the dramatic Instrumental opener “Rising Distortion,” where we sonically witness the rise of superintelligence, to the title track “Distorted Mirror” which marks some of the heaviest—and athletic—work of DarWin to date. The album closes with a multi-minute jam fest at the end of “Winter Face,” with Greg Howe laying down some of his tastiest solo work to date, promising fans that the fun has just started and DarWin has a lot of gas left in the tank.DarWin released “Man vs. Machine” in June 2025, to a chorus of praise and accolades, reaching over 450,000 streams on Youtube within the first two weeks. Today, DarWin releases the next song from the album, “Loophole.”. The multi-faceted “Loophole” is a jarring cautionary tale about “ancient conflicts rearing their ugly heads again.” Says DarWin, “I envisioned a young man having no choice but to take up arms, the emotional weight of such a decision.” The circular, acoustic guitar patterns underscore this notion of “history repeating,” and an ominous feel weaves its way throughout this stunning track that sees Andrew Freeman joining Matt Bissonette on vocals.
