DISPYRIA – Single/Video “Blue Mirror” feat. Zak Stevens
The legendary singer himself is very impressed:
Zak: “It’s always challenging and rewarding performing songs composed by Juergen Walzer for Dispyria. In my opinion, this is very powerful prog metal with an intense storyline. I had a great time recording the vocals and shooting the video for “Blue Mirror”. My wife Katherine wrote to the lyrics to this song and four others on the album that I performed vocals on. “Blue Mirror” talks about the ability of Marion, the main character, to physically dive into a blue mirror and experience a real and different reality apart from her very difficult real life. The lyrics make it a deep journey, so it was really cool working on this. The story is very deep.”

Ahead of her debut album, hear Bobbie Lovesong’s “Watching From a Window” – On The Wind is out January 20th on Woodsist
This song I made halfway through the album right after my friend, Ladyclair, came to visit Taos for a long weekend. We have been friends since childhood, so it was very special to spend time together in the desert. As soon as she left, I wrote the song. I remember feeling like I could still feel her around me and was writing through both our perspectives thinking about all the changes we’ve supported each other through. It’s simply about how change can bring such a big uprooting to our sense of home.
