Mirror Mirage Official

After being away from the progressive rock scene for quite some time, guitarist and songwriter Wouter van der Veen (known from Armed Cloud and Steelyard) makes his comeback with Mirror Mirage: a dynamic new project that captures the essence of classic influences while forging a distinctive sound for today's audience.

Drawing inspiration from legendary acts such as Rainbow, Dream Theater, Symphony X, Dio and Yngwie Malmsteen, Mirror Mirage crafts a sound that is both nostalgic and refreshingly modern, appealing to long-time fans of the genre and new listeners alike. Prepare for heavy riffs, melodic vocals, grooving drums and ominous keys.

Inspiration for the name comes from one of the tracks from Armed Cloud. In addition, Mirror Mirage has to do with “seeing or wanting to see something that is not really there or isn’t real”. It’s about illusion, dreams, hopes and goals. Very applicable to the subjects of the songs that feature on the brand new and very first EP: Missing Pieces.
