September 29, 2009, 15 years ago
South Korea's DARK MIRROR OV TRAGEDY recently performed a televised set on the country's EBS channel, the only Korean TV station that supports metal. Three clips are available below.
BW&BK; recently received the following press release:
The sophomore album of one of South Korea’s most revered metal bands Dark Mirror Ov Tragedy is finally out now on the most avid purveyor of the New Wave of Asian Metal,Trinity Records Hong Kong
The album entitled Pregnant of Despair is comprised of 10 tracks of what the band called as “Koreanized” symphonic/dark/black/gothic metal. The said “Koreanizing”of their brand of metal will surely sets them apart from the numerous black/gothic bands which are often undistinguishable from each others as you will surely be amazed on how they blended the Korean culture on their music and how it effectively morphed their music to be truly one of a kind and will prove to be a refreshing listen even to the jaded ears.
Quoting vocalist Material Pneuma on their interview on UK’s metal authority Terrorizer Magazine: "Fusion food is very popular in Korea, where one country's food is taken and made Korean-style for the Korean palate, so when asked what’s fusion music is, that is metal combined with traditional Korean music; "I don't want to play those instruments poorly. If I try new things, I would rather play Korean music with western instruments, than play Western music with Korean instruments.”
As the album title implies, their very unique take on music is replete with lyrical theme about desperation, sorrow, sadness that proves to be of cathartic essence rather making the listeners delve further into depression.
The six persons comprising Dark Mirror Ov Tragedy will guarantee every lover of metal that they will surely enjoy listening to their refreshingly distinctive take on symphonic/dark/black/gothic on their sophomore album as much as they enjoyed writing and recording it as they already matured a lot both musically and personally.
Pregnant of Despair will be available through CD and digital formats.
