A new chapter of the super heavy technical project DarWin begins, taking progressive \u0026amp; melodic to the extreme!\n\n\n\nIn 2018, songwriter and guitarist DW initiated this project, which resonates with the world's most talented musicians. Simon Phillips (drums w\/Jeff Beck, Michael Schenker, TOTO, etc.), Mohini Day (bass w\/ B'z, Willow Smith, etc.), Greg Howe (guitar w\/ Michael Jackson, etc.), Derek Sherinian (keyboards w\/ Dream Theater, etc. and others), and Matt Bissonnette (vocals). Distorted Mirror\" is the fifth album by the band, which has effectively functioned as a \"band\".\n\n\n\nThis is a hyper-technical progressive fusion album with a heavy metallic sound and a sci-fi worldview, as represented by the preceding leader tracks \"Man vs Machine\" and \"33rd Century Man\". Featuring superb playing that does not allow the listener to be distracted even for a moment, the thrilling developments expand the listener's imagination to infinity. The grooves and beats of the earth-shaking rhythm section also shake the body with their bass-heavy sound, without being overawed by the technique. The emotion of the songwriting, which combines singable melodies and hooks, has been further strengthened and runs throughout the entire album, which is another feature of this work.From \"Rising Distortion,\" which opens the door to a new world of lyricism and intense phrasing, to the pop-tinged \"Cry A River,\" to the seven-and-a-half-minute \"Winter Fare,\" the evolution of fusion in the 21st century, the album plays with the listener like an epic poem.\n\n\n\nThe artwork is futuristic, suggesting the next step after the previous album \"First Steps On The Sun\" (2024), and the existence of DarWin itself is a grand concept and a journey full of creativity. The album was recorded at Powerplay Studios in Maul, Switzerland. Produced by DW and Simon Phillips, this album embodies his vision. Man vs Machine\" was released on YouTube in June 2025 and received 450,000 views in its first two weeks. It proved that the attention to the new film was not just for the film. The second leader track \"Loophole,\" featuring vocals by Matt Bissonette and Andrew Freeman (Lynch Mob - Last in Line), is also doing well, but listening to the album as a whole will reveal a whole new world through \"Distorted Mirror. Distorted Mirror\" will be revealed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"P-Vine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51598182383905,"sku":"4995879254998","price":1400.0,"currency_code":"PHP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4995879254998.jpg?v=1758464519","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-ph\/products\/4995879254998","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
