Progressive metal band Mirrormaze took the chance to answer a few questions for Metal Shock Finland on release of their new album ‘Walkabout’.
1. Welcome to Metal Shock Finland, I’m Dylan Raine, who are you?
Nice to meet you Dylan, I’m Davide Penna the song writer of MirrorMaze.
2. Can you tell me about the origins of the music and how everything came together?
Samuele and I formed MirrorMaze in 2008.The main goal since the beginning was to write progressive metal mixed with alternative metal music.
In 2009, with demo material, we had to the search of high-profile musicians to complete the line-up.
During the year Fabio D’Amore (bass and backing vocalist for Fairyland, Serenity, Pathosray) joined the project as our new lead singer and bass player.
Recordings sessions started right after at Artesonika studios in early 2010. While the recordings our aim was to seek a very special guest to perfom on the record and Ray Alder from Fates Warning and Redemption was contacted to sing on the track “Deeper Signs”.
In our opinion the blending of our singer and Ray Alder creates a unique sound and give the song a deep and special musical meaning.
To end the recordings we called a session man, Matteo Maselli, to play drums for us.
The mix and mastering was given to the amazing Staffan Karlsson (Stevie Wonder, Nathan East, Earth Wind & Fire, The Roxette and Firewind) in his Landgren Studio 5.1 in Sweden. It’s some month later that we found the definitive line up with Fabio Nasuelli on drums and Juan Manuel Savoini on bass.
