Distorted Mirror CD

11th July 2025 ProgRock supergroup DarWin today announce the upcoming release of their new studio album, Distorted Mirror, on 26th September 2025 via OoSPhantom Recordings. Today they also release a new song from the album, Loophole.Distorted Mirror is the follow up to last years 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 walltowall 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 heaviestand athleticwork of DarWin to date. The album closes with a multiminute 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 multifaceted 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.
