Wade Knapik Reminiscent of Alice In Chains' unplugged/acoustic albums, which is quite the compliment. All around great songs. Favorite track: Your Time Has Come.

Stay Evil 05:56
Burn - burn away the haze that dulls yesterday Cross - the bridge that leads to Heaven then blow it away fan the flames that burn my soul blaze a path across my road so I can stay...evil Feed - the bird in my tree before you make her bleed Help - me get born again before you bring the end
2.
Far behind the light of day the demons stray the lies obey Down below the Blessed Sun the Devil runs it has begun On black wings flies...the Demon's Eye From within the black of night a puppet's light shone out of spite Miles away a wolven feast a fallen beast...has been released On black wings flies...the Demon's Eye Dancing on your grave your soul can't be saved you'll always be a slave... be a slave
3.
Karmic Dogs 05:03
I am just a riff of blues headlight deer (wearing) hunterskin shoes and I am just a waste of space pollution fish (with a) hook in your face and I've got to run... Because I know Karmic Dogs are on my trail... I am just a number and been beat down by the healing hand and I am just a papered fly poison apple of your eye
4.
spineless thief of light vultures stalk your night eternal your pain judgment falls like rain Your time has come... darkening your dreams veiled in blackness...unseen no more you'll hear their cries laughing as they rise
5.
brother have you heard the news? the pale horse is on the loose sister do you realize a red horse is on the rise and it always feels like the calm before the storm Mother Earth please don't you cry a black horse darkens the sky Father Time you know the score the white horse rides forevermore

Alone in a Crowd (free) 05:45
there's a hangman in the gallows of your soul in the distance the bell tolls for the day you travelled on and on...to crack the smiles of the dead you listened over and over to the lies of a friend alone in a crowd - they don't know alone in a crowd - you won't show there's a sun that never shines in the past there's a light in the eye of the storm you travelled on and on...to wake the killer from a dream kept searching over and over for love in the obscene
7.
oh Lord what have you done? did you let the Devil steal the sun? did you sell our souls? do you feel the pain? when you realise your love is in vain? If there is a God out there...he surely must be blind... and if there is a God out there, he must have left the world behind my friend, God loves his children God loves his children, don't you know? did you see the Reaper tap Mother Nature's shoulder? did you see the sheep carried... off to war?

about

"Imagine if you will, walking through a forest that’s enshrouded in dense fog. Visibility is only a few hundred feet in any direction. Moisture glistening off of the surrounding foilage as your breath bellows from your mouth in a cloud of steam. The crunch of leaves and decay under every footstep being the only sound to accompany the animal-like howl of the wind. Kinda’ creepy out here all alone, huh? That’s the power of Mountain Mirrors self titled album." - The Ripple Effect

"It is a perfect and delicious album to listen to and relax with a good glass of wine within reach."
- LordsofMetal


"The slightly folky acoustic guitars, sweet drum cadences, subtle keyboard sounds, and most importantly Sanders' otherwordly vocals, when combined, do invite comparisons to names like Opeth, Nick Drake, Pink Floyd, and even Alice In Chains' unplugged material, but overall, the music presented on this disc is in a league all its own."
- Sea of Tranquility


"there is something magic in this release, it's poetry really. Also, the deep melancholic voice of Jeff is really beautiful and for sure some of you will be touched by its quality and will have some good feeling when you'll listen to it."
- Metalstorm.com


"This is the kind of album that if it really clicks with you, you’ll totally fall for its unique mood and character and revisit the album for years to come. "
- Metalreview.com


"The song craft is excellent and the choice of instruments to play this music is oh so tasty."

The Songs :: in Jeff's words:



Stay Evil ::
It's about following a spiritual path and finding some enlightenment. And how things the world perceives as good and evil are...relative.

The Demon's Eye ::
The lyrics to this song came in a flash of inspiration like I've never felt before. What does it mean to you?

Karmic Dogs ::
This is also about the relativity of good and evil. Maybe some bad deeds bring good karma. And the other way around.

Your Time Has Come ::
Imagine the innocent victims of a sadistic, power-mad ruler as they rise from the ground, laughing. Finally able to partake in Judgment Day.

Calm Before the Storm ::
This uses the Four Horsemen as a metaphor for how the world feels sometimes these days. Every time we turn on the damn news, it seems like Armageddon. And if you dig deep enough into a lunatic's prophesies, you'll find them happening everywhere.

Alone in a Crowd ::
We all know how it feels to be in a crowd of people and feel completely alone inside. For some people, it's all the time.

Deploribus Unum ::
Sometimes it feels like if there's a God, He, She or It has abandoned us. Or maybe we drove them away...then again, in an infinite universe, how much time can God devote to a parasitic human race?

Praying Mantis ::
This is the first song I wrote after "Lunar Ecstasy" - right after my grandfather passed away. Maybe the most lost I've ever felt in my life. I put it down and came back to it after seeing a documentary about the death of the great John Lennon...Shot in the back in front of the Dakota hotel by Mark Chapman. The working title for awhile was "Devil at the Dakota". I just didn't feel right releasing it under that title, so a meditation produced the title "Praying Mantis".
