Álbum de estreia "Troubled Mind" lançado em março de 2025
O Derev de Toronto anuncia que eles vão pegar a estrada para datas em Ontário e Quebec nos próximos meses. As datas dos shows darão suporte ao seu primeiro álbum completo "Troubled Mind" em 26 de março de 2025 (datas listadas abaixo).
Derev revelou recentemente seu último single “Cyclone”, uma exploração dinâmica de turbulência interna e redenção que mostra a evolução da banda enquanto permanece fiel ao seu som característico. A faixa segue seu single anterior “Room 9”. A banda comenta sobre o conteúdo lírico:
“Com base na narrativa, essa música gira em torno dos pensamentos negativos que atormentam nossas mentes, constantemente nos lembrando de nossa indignidade e deficiências percebidas. Esse estado mental, "Síndrome do Impostor", nos faz duvidar de nossas habilidades e sucessos, deixando-nos indignos, envergonhados e com medo de sermos expostos.”
“Cyclone” demonstra a mistura magistral de destreza técnica e profundidade emocional de Derev , apresentando instrumentação intrincada que constrói de uma atmosfera cheia de tensão para um clímax cativante. A música abre com um riff de guitarra assombroso que gradualmente se intensifica conforme camadas de baixo e bateria criam uma sensação subjacente de inquietação. Essa tensão finalmente dá lugar a um solo de guitarra crescente e emocionante que traz um momento de clareza antes de concluir com um riff de suspense memorável.
Com lançamento previsto para 26 de março de 2025, o álbum de estreia de Derev , "Troubled Mind", promete levar os ouvintes a uma jornada emocional, apresentando altos energéticos e baixos pungentes. É recomendado para fãs de Opeth, Dream Theater e Porcupine Tree.

About: “Divided by war, United by music”
Derev is a progressive rock band captivating global audiences with its innovative blend of progressive rock and traditional Middle Eastern music.
After fleeing the war in the Middle East and finding refuge in Toronto, Canada, founding member, and Drummer Michel Karakach reunited with his best friend, guitarist Armando Bablanian, to turn what was once a mere childhood dream into a powerful reality.
Derev’s debut release "Leap of Faith" melded the raw energy of hard rock with the rich textures of traditional Middle Eastern music they grew up with, offering a fresh perspective on topics often overlooked in modern music. This distinctive sound quickly caught the attention of both local and international audiences, propelling Derev into a series of successful shows across Canada.
The band's dynamic lineup now includes bassist Stan Komarovsky, providing the backbone of Derev's sound, and keyboardist Ran Zehavi from the progressive rock band Scalar, adding depth and complexity. Leading the live charge is frontman and vocalist Mike Symons to replace previous singer Adel Saflou who is featured on their forthcoming studio offering "Troubled Mind". Symons' compelling presence and vocal prowess complete the live ensemble.
As Derev gears up to release their anticipated second album "Troubled Mind" on March 26th, 2025, they continue to carve out a unique niche in the music world. Their innovative sound promises to captivate new listeners and industry veterans alike. Keep an eye on Derev as they redefine what rock music can be.
Discography:
2025 - Troubled Mind - LP
2021 - Leap of Faith - EP
"Derev’s sound combines the energy and intensity of metal music with the atmospheric sound of old-school progressive rock, while incorporating elements of their Arabic and Armenian heritage." - The Prog Space
"Room 9 is a song that manages to present a depth and feelings that fill the song very well. We have here a very progressive performance, which incorporates heavy and intense riffs, a good song to know the band!" - Metal Junk Box
"Derev offer a hard-hitting examination of war and honour on their darkly exotic and relentlessly heavy single and video Turab" - Tinnitist
"With "Leap Of Faith" Derev presents itself as a mature band with strong songs and great musicians. All the more reason to eagerly look forward to the first full-fledged album." - Progwereld
"It seems like 2020 and 2021 have given artists the isolation and the time they need to make their best music, or finally release their first music. Derev‘s first released track “Futile” was a pleasant surprise: it’s melodic and creative, and it has a fantastic video with a perfectly chosen voice. That one track led me to an interview with the band, and I get to know both them and their planned EP release “Leap of Faith“.... This EP is without a doubt the best release I have heard in 2021 so far. I would give it a 9/10 and recommended it to any fan of (New) Opeth, Haken, Beardfish, Soen." - Leb Metal (2021 - Leap of Faith)
"Leap Of Faith, an EP, featuring six songs, is their musical debut and Derev combines traditional metal with melodic progressive rock and Eastern musical influences.... Derev really surprised me with this great EP, a must listen for fans of Riverside, Opeth and Haken; highly recommended indeed!!" - BackGround Magazine
