On December 18th, the iTunes Folk Song chart-topper from Finland releases his debut album, along with the 3rd single and lyric video for "Poison Woman." On December 18th, 2020, Turku-Finland based singer/songwriter and iTunes chart-topper Mauri Dark releases his debut album, "Dreams Of A Middle-Aged Man." Dark is also releasing "Poison Woman," the third single and (lyric) video from the album. This new single and video follow Dark's November 6th debut with the title track and the November 19th second single release, "Thin Line Of Understanding." \u201cPoison Woman\u201d is a rock-spiced, up-tempo song from the dark, folky debut. 70s drums, bass, Western movie-ish electric guitar and a doomsday piano are the framework for Mauri Dark\u2019s acoustic baritone guitar and deep, low voice. After five albums and hundreds of shows, the frontman for metal duo, Mystons (born Mauri Kosonen, 1978) has stepped into the bare boots of a vulnerable acoustic storyteller. \u201cPoison Woman\u201d is the first song written for his debut. \u201cPoison Woman' is the end song of my 7-year relationship. It is about two people who brought out the worst in each other," Mauri Dark says. \u201cI wrote it when I was living alone in a forest cabin in Finland in 2016. My mother had stage 3 cancer, and the word \u2018poison\u2019 came from the treatments. She died on May 27, 2017. 364 days later I was happily married, and our firstborn daughter was born. This roller-coaster of life wrote my debut album.\u201d Dreams Of A Middle-Aged Man, the album, was written, produced, recorded and performed by Mauri Dark. The sound was crafted with Mixing Engineer / Associate Producer Hiili Hiilesmaa (HIM, Apocalyptica), Mastering Engineer Vlado Meller (Metallica, Johnny Cash) and Associate Producer Jussi Vuola. The road to recognition has been fast since the November 6th, 8-minute debut single \u201cDreams Of A Middle-Aged Man\u201d. Its 12K-viewed music video, directed by Vesa Ranta, was selected for the Sweden Film Festivals Finals. The November 19th single \u201cThin Line Of Understanding\u201d has 21K Spotify listens. Worldwide radioplay, playlist adds, dozens of stories, interviews and flattering reviews can be summed up with Jamsphere\u2019s \u201ca deeply affecting sound experience.\u201d Mauri Dark recently teamed with reputable US Manager / Promoter Michael Stover of MTS Management Group / MTS Records (IMEA Artist Manager of the Year in 2013, 2014, 2017, 2018, 2019). The album is founded on Mauri Dark\u2019s experience: 25 years of songwriting, 8 albums, and 500 shows with different bands and instruments. Strong compositions and lyrics are led by Mauri\u2019s low voice and backed by acoustic baritone guitar, with varying moods and soundscapes. The atmospheric, discreet backgrounds are built with acoustic instruments such as piano, pump organ, cello and upright bass, adding electric guitar ambience (\xe1 la Pink Floyd, Ennio Morricone\u2019s Western soundtracks, blues and jazz), and acoustic drums and electric bass on two tracks.\n\n\n\nSHOW LESS
