One minute there's a liquid vibe, before adding in more bass, this is truly a tune for everyone. . Joe Moses aka Need For Mirrors hardly needs introduction. On the flip, 'Down Time' again runs with a retro inflection, this time upping the pace and letting the sounds envelop your very soul. Can you hear the ending tune? Without a trace of doubt in my mind.
Following lengthy discussions, some loose parameters were set and a vision came together for a journey through harmonic techno soul visiting the heartlands of Chicago, Detroit and Berlin in equal measures. Great riffs, complex rhythms and tweaks to the ordinary, just enough to keep me listening over and over. Much like other songs on the album, Mirrors For Eyes, asks the ontological question of what it means to exist. Without a trace of doubt in my mind. Without a trace of doubt The world awaits for you and I Track Name: The Machinist Pregnant with remorse Packaged in a line Bruised souls and broken bodies left us in the desert's darkness Burning under faithful watch of a scorching sun We have fallen out of grace Pregnant with remorse Packaged in a line Bruised souls and broken bodies left us consumed and desensitized Over stimulated to perfection We have fallen out of grace I've been everything that you don't want me to be I've seen everything that you don't want me to see The needle of perfection Thrust through the apple of my eye I can sense the footsteps of the marching armies Cloned drones dancing to commands Track Name: In Search of Sunrise Give me just one reason not to hide myself Give me one more piece of your pleasing self Give me just one reason not to raise this storm Give me one more view of your perfect form Forever frozen in this moment with you Nothing seems to satisfy Thrilling in this instance is your boundless grace Stripped from safety distance this is my real face Forever frozen in this moment with you Nothing seems to satisfy Give it all to For one more, Taste of fruit, From your garden Forever frozen in this moment with you Nothing seems to satisfy Track Name: Maiden feat. A slow burner, this one sets its stall out over a delayed intro. Wow' is the a-side, bringing elements of the old skool to a decidedly modern pallette.
Cumbersome chains are blowing up your horizon. This is the kind of progressive metal we need. Yet heavy lies the crown. The influences are from the past, but Dark Stars gaze is strictly set on the future. Feel the pulse and feel the flow, this one is simply Wow.
Yet heavy lies the crown. Michael Rumple I lay the lilies of hate along your blood stained hair wedded you with the soil You're a masterpiece gone out of tune Your halo is not so divine descended from your throne Under chestnut tree I sold you - you sold me Over and over again There lie they and here lie we Over and over again Your charming prince is your hooded hangman with lust in his eyes Sleep quiet now debris is you marriage bed Sleep quiet now don't let this storm wake you Under chestnut tree I sold you - you sold me Over and over again There lie they and here lie we Over and over again Can you hear the trumpets call? Without a trace of doubt in my mind. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. As a band, we strive to be a figure of balance, with the de-tuned riffs of djent, the atmosphere of neo-prog, and the time-signature modulation of progressive rock and metal, while still maintaining a focused and melodic centric base of coherent songwriting. Without a trace of doubt The world awaits for you and I We are eternal.
It is such a far cry from the copy-and-paste djent bands cropping up all over the internet; Wings Denied really handles complexity and beauty both very well. The Need For Mirrors sound has many different colours as he is no stranger to exploration and experimentation. The singer has a voice that's easy to understand and just soars above everything else. The song takes an ironic approach into the search for authenticity through certain kinds of simulations. There's more than meets the eye.
Playing around with melody and tempo, Moses creates a new world at every turn. Without a trace of doubt The world awaits for you and I Thrive! Dropping down into some classic late night vibes, the tune picks up to display its full beauty. Mirrors for Eyes is about bringing the musicality and dynamic richness of that era into today. Still the band for you. Refuse to close your eyes to see their point of view. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
What we perceive as real in the postmodern era is in fact just a mirroring of our own ego into the world of objects. It alludes to the philosophical concepts of the hyperreal and the desert of the real through the theme of self-deception, on both a personal and a societal level. This is the band for you. There's different sounds creeping in all the time, so look forward to this one surprising and delighting you. Under chestnut tree I sold you - you sold me Over and over again There lie they and here lie we Over and over again Track Name: Signs Estranged as I sail these clouds Trying to figure out my true belonging An overload of memories Got me spinning in endless circles Once more everything gets left behind in dust and sorrow Estranged as I sail these clouds Trying to figure out my true belonging An overload of memories Got me spinning in endless circles Once more everything gets left behind in dust and sorrow So light your flares and torches Illuminate my heart my darling I can see betrayal in your eyes Once more everything gets left behind in dust and sorrow Track Name: Néant feat. .
