'Tomorrow's Eve' is a German group made up of artists from the metal scene who has not released an album for 10 years and this last album is the end of the trilogy of 'Mirror of Creation' whose first part already dates from 2003, based on Edgar Poe's poem 'A dream in a dream' which describes life as a dream of which we are the spectators with all the interpretations that can be done around this poem. To set this theme to music, they offer us 11 tracks in a style that mixes classic metal influences with sophisticated progressive metal with a large number of rhythm changes, alternating between powerful and much quieter parts, and multiple arrangements both instrumental and vocal.
