Dark Mirror is what happens when Clint Blomker, Marco Battaglia, Jeremy Hall, Blitz Creagan, and Alonso Donoso get rowdy. Dark Mirror has a burning desire to create new sounds inspired by the past greats of heavy metal and rock n roll! Four working class dudes originally from different cities in Iowa, and one all the way from Chile, Dark Mirror is a group of like-minded musicians who joined forces to shake the foundations of the industry and remind the world of what 5 people pouring their hearts and souls out live can do!

The crowd is equally as important as the group on stage, since we feed off of their energy, we transmute it and send it back in waves of face-melting, gut-pounding, soul-soaring awesomeness. We are them and they are us. Dark Mirror cares deeply about the live show, the fans, live recording, the bands they work with, and art! Dark Mirror was conceived when Marco Battaglia heard Blind Guardian being blasted over the college radio station at the University of Northern Iowa where he and Alonso Donoso both hosted radio shows. He went to check out who was playing the good tunes, they got to chatting about music and the rest was history. Dark Mirror was formed officially a week later at a Joey Belladonna concert in St. Paul, Minnesota, in the wake of the death of Dimebag Darrell, the emotions that were involved sealed the deal, as he was a childhood hero whom they shared.


Since 2005 Dark Mirror has completed four releases, two full length albums, and crawled up from the deepest darkest pit of the underground (the garage, the basement), whatever you want to call it, cutting their teeth and banging heads over hundreds of shows, sharing stages with bands like: UFO, Megadeth,Exodus, Ross the Boss, Overkill, 3 Inches of Blood, Into Eternity, Kittie,Warbringer, Devine Heresy, Bounded By Blood, After Forever, Leaves Eyes, and countless other thrashing and bashing bands. Instead of jumping on every trend that comes a long Dark Mirror has been digging deep down and pouring out the music that has always come from within forging songs that have been called things like "power-thrash” and "the new wave of American heavy metal”, by reviewers and fans throughout the globe.

"If you were not able to see any of the NWOBHM bands or bay area thrash bands in their early days, you owe it to yourself to catch a Dark Mirror show!" Randy, of The Metal Show with Randy and Ace While Dark Mirror embraces the term heavy metal and proudly waves its banner high, they have a deep appreciation for the history of music and the roots of rock n roll; they look to the future with a respect for the past. Dark Mirror is currently promoting their new release Portrait of Evil(Early 2010), planning a summer 2010 tour, and always working on new material. They love to play anywhere and everywhere and are planning to take their live show to fans who want to hear it around the world.
