Episode 234: Mirrors

Jake from the Australian metalcore band Mirrors joins the Chord Progression podcast. We discuss their debut LP "The Ego's Weight" in detail from its theme, staying true to yourself, and detail how this album is more than just and album, it is an experience.   DISCLAIMER: When we recorded the episode, the original release date of the album was set for October 8th, 2021. An hour after recording, we received word from Jake that the album release date was being pushed back to November 19th due to a delay in the vinyl pressing. We kept the episode because it is beyond incredible, just not the release date is now November 19th, 2021.   Find Mirrors Online: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MirrorsAus Twitter: https://twitter.com/mirrorsaus Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mirrorsband/ Instagram (Jake): https://www.instagram.com/mackinjake/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaG7VObWdjXuvxLA5wxYj4w Website: https://mirrorsband.com Merch: https://artistfirst.com.au/collections/mirrors Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1bVZhrnnRNPi98wcJQT8YD?si=Zj-tpm7xTn6yvugCIf285w&dl_branch=1 Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/mirrors/447815230   Thank you to our sponsor FNX Fitness: https://fnx.grsm.io/msotdrocks USE CODE "MSOTD" FOR 15% OFF YOUR ENTIRE ORDER!   Follow us on social media!   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/msotdrocks   Twitter: https://twitter.com/msotd_rocks   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/msotd_rocks/   YouTube: https://youtube.com/channel/UCqRKZCDMcFHIYbJaLQMfDbQ   Chord Progression Podcast (Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/53XWPGrIUvgavKF5Fm6SLk   Chord Progression Podcast (Apple Podcast): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chord-progression/id1454876657   Chord Progression Podcast (Amazon): https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/b8dad803-444c-4a73-8aa5-67b4fc43f4ba   Chord Progression Podcast (iHeart Radio): https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-chord-progression-70632531/   Podcast Webpage: https://mysongoftheday.com/my-song-of-the-day-rock-2000-today/chord-progression-podcast/   Intro: (0:00) Dealing with the Pandemic: (3:00) Dissecting the Idea of The Ego's Weight: (6:13) Connecting to the Music Overall & Leave Them Behind: (18:22) Experience The Ego's Weight Themes & Influences: (30:22) Jake's Favorite Songs on the Record: (39:09) Wrapping Up The Album & Podcast: (51:46)
