The album also features Mohini Dey, the female bassist who took the world by storm with her first album, creating a super-powerful rhythm section! Furthermore, the album features participation from incredibly technical players such as Greg Howe and Derek Sherinian, resulting in a must-listen progressive yet melodic hard rock\/metal sound! \"DarWin is a journey of exploration into the fate of humanity and a world full of hardship, through progressive rock.\" - DW DarWin emerged on the scene in 2018. While their profile remains shrouded in mystery, their debut album, 'Origin Of The Species,' garnered support from a wide range of listeners without being confined to the progressive metal genre, thanks to its rich melodies, dramatic development, exceptional musicianship, and grand cosmic vision. Furthermore, the album garnered significant attention not only for the performance but also for the participation of drummer Simon Phillips, known for his collaborations with Jeff Beck, Michael Schenker, and Toto, as well as his role as co-producer. DarWin, who has since collaborated with accomplished players such as Billy Sheehan (Mr. Big), Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater), and Guthrie Govan (Aristocrats), will release his new album, \"Five Steps On The Sun,\" in 2024. While DarWin has previously explored global concepts such as human evolution and climate change, this album ventures beyond the atmosphere. \"One Step On The Sun,\" \"Five Steps On The Sun,\" and \"The Sun\" form a suite, strengthening the instrumental parts and weaving a grand epic on a solar system scale. In line with this concept, the album brings together a host of highly skilled musicians. Simon Phillips and Greg Howe, the incredibly technical guitarist who debuted on the Shrapnel Records label and also backed Michael Jackson, are regular contributors from the very first album. Super bassist Mohini Dey, who toured with B'z and will be performing solo in Japan in August, is also featured prominently. In addition, Derek Sherinian, Andy Timmons, and Julian Pollack (J3PO) play, creating a breathtaking hybrid technical battle that transcends metal, progressive, and fusion. Matt Bissonette, who has played bass in bands for Dave Lee Roth and Ringo Starr, participates as a vocalist, and his powerful yet transparent voice broadens the scope of the soundscape. The basic tracks for this album were recorded live at Maul's Powerplay Studios in Switzerland, with DW, Simon, and Mohini gathered together, successfully achieving a more raw and authentic feel. \"Every song is a 'journey.' It's infused with heart, care, and prayer,\" says DW. A new chapter is being written in the evolution of rock. The title page will likely read DarWin.
