Influenced by Hawkwind, Deep Purple, BÖC, and Captain Beyond, venerable NY-based rockers, Mirror Queen, return this September with their fifth studio album on Tee Pee Records; Dying Days.
Formed from the ashes of long running NYC band Kreisor, Mirror Queen kicked off their tenure in 2011 with a successful European tour – prowling many of the same boards their former outfit stalked – in support of their impressive debut, From Earth Below. Inspired by that steadfast, hard rock of old and the burgeoning neo-psych of Swervedriver and Motorpsycho, Mirror Queen’s mission was to craft magic of the highest order. Performing at countless festivals and touring the world with labelmates The Atomic Bitchwax, Earthless and Danava (for 2015’s Scaffolds of the Sky), if there was any doubt as to where their steely sound was forged, it’s live and in front of a raucous crowd.
Due for release this fall, Dying Days offers a heady mix of psych, prog, and NWOBHM-isms and counts UFO, Wishbone Ash, and Iron Maiden amongst its influences. Their primary intent is to shoot their audience through a cannon of volume, hooks, and timeless riffs as frontman Kenny Kreisor explains of new single ‘Far-Flung’:
“I had the primary chords, some words, and a basic sketch and let it gain form during rehearsals. The vibes of favourites like Camel, 70’s-era Scorpions, Wishbone Ash and Jethro Tull definitely seeped into the proceedings.”
