Trinity Records out of Hong Kong have issued the following update:

"We, at Trinity Records, have signed to our ranks to help us spread the awareness about New Wave of Asian Metal one of the best upcoming symphonic dark/black/gothic metal band from Korea, DARK MIRROR OV TRAGEDY. After making a name for themselves in their country through their 2005 release self titled debut and endless playing of shows, we are convinced that it’s already time for them to be heard outside of their country and let the metal world be taken by surprise."

The official press release is available below:

Formed in 2003 in a country so infertile for a seed of metal to grow Dark Mirror Ov Tragedy had surpassed this adversity and have already proven their sincerity and passion through their ethic of playing shows every time they had a chance no matter what if a show was in a dirty basement or in high profile club as long as they can share to the audience their Koreanized blending of symphonic dark/black metal with gothic. Their love for their music goes beyond squeezing time between their full time jobs and studies but most admirable is their sacrificing their hard earned money to produced their music and in doing a music video without thinking of something in return other than to be given a chance to be heard.

The members of Dark Mirror Ov Tragedy pride themselves in fusing ethnic Korean sounds to their spontaneous usage of minor key melodies that deeply incite the listener's sensitivity and their inclination to be experimental to stimulate the listener’s mind thus making their Koreanized brand of symphonic dark/black metal truly a class of its own while their contemporaries are just being content with just mimicking the pioneers of the genre. 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."

Their music will give us the feelings of sorrow and ecstasy at the same time for they are the natural within the unnatural. Sometimes we have to go outside of our comfort zone to find what we are looking for and Dark Mirror Ov Tragedy succeeded in doing so.

They will be releasing their second album via Trinity Records tentatively on May thru CD format and digital format on iTunes. Their sophomore release will be titled The Pregnant of Despair. The band assure us all that it will be a much more enjoyable listen compared to their self titled debut that they released on 2005 as they already matured as person and as musicians.
