An unprecedented scenario made of broken grooves, heavy and elegant riffs, sharp electronics, a direct and piercing vocal performance: "Dark Mirage", the new album by The Blank Canvas, aims to envelop the listener in a dystopian and distressing narrative.

An obscure dream, sprung from the post-apocalyptic expanses, where nature has surrended and has given way to a landscape full of contrasting and multifaceted feelings. You find yourself in the midst of this, with nothing else around except for what remains. Memories of a lost future like blinding hallucinations. The album recounts the progressive existential bewilderment of an individual with a lacerating and destabilizing tone: the compositions become hypnotic, deceptive and overwhelming, returning, track after track, the distorted image of a troubled life form in constant change. Strongly influenced by the cosmic horror imagery read in a modern key and produced by the skilled hands of Riccardo "Paso" Pasini (Ephel Duath, Nero di Marte, The Secret), at Studio73 in Ravenna, "Dark Mirage" represents a decisive step forward in the evolution of the band adding new heavy material to their bold sonic architectures. Drown Within Records, Vollmer Industries and Zero Produzioni will release "Dark Mirage" on CD and through all digital providers on February 18th. Find preorders at Bandcamp.
