BIOGRAPHY
"Naturalness within unnaturalness, or the gathering between sorrow and ecstasy"
From various ways of musical expressions, Dark Mirror ov Tragedy themes and stands for spontaneous minor key melodies which will deeply incite the listener's sensitivity. Eluding from the existing local music standards, their breaking and mixing music style is not to be judged easily. Bands with all similar 'good to listen' music with a bit of inclination to experimental and progressiveness might be recognized for their rarity, But further to this to incite and stimulate a listener's mind, a strong creative basis is needed. Fortunately, Dark Mirror ov Tragedy, even though is not all matured, with flashing musical sense and outstanding song-writing capability of its members is to paid close attention in its evolving course.
The band name 'Dark Mirror ov Tragedy' is taken from the Middle-age prophet Nostradamus who saw the through the mirror the dark cursing future. Like the name, their music is the combination of small pieces of harping memories from self life experiences carved by going back and forth from darkness to brightness. The conjuring sources are basic instruments such as guitar, bass, drum and keyboard, and the natural combination of minor keys which fully express the eastern sentiments, with classical gothic music is the outstanding essence of Dark Mirror ov Tragedy. The anguish carved recourse vocal along with the cursing instrument performance recites a chapter poem which evokes nothingness together with wholeness, darkness and daylight, beauty and ugliness.
