UK alt-rock heavyweights BLACK ORCHID EMPIRE return with their brand-new single Mirrorman, out August 29th, 2025 via Year Of The Rat Records. Known for their fearless blend of heavy-hitting savagery and soaring melodic beauty, the trio once again push their sound forward with a track that is as intricate as it is powerful.
Mirrorman explores the haunting concept of doppelgängers and the fragility of our own perception of reality. Lyrically charged with existential questions, the single captures a more progressive side of BLACK ORCHID EMPIRE, twisting through complex grooves and dynamic shifts while still delivering the colossal hooks and unforgettable choruses the band are celebrated for.
Speaking about the track, vocalist and guitarist Paul explains: “This track is about the idea of doppelgängers — an alternative mirror world just out of reach. It deals with the concept of doubting our own reality, asking big existential questions of our perspectives and place in the universe. The extra twists and turns allow us more time to pose the central question of the song: Is the face in the mirror the doppelgänger, or am I?”
Having already toured extensively across the UK and Europe, sharing stages with Skunk Anansie, HED P.E, INME, Cellar Darling and Black Map, as well as festival slots at Download, Standon Calling, Tech Fest, Mangata Festival, Teddy Rocks and Planet Rockstock, BLACK ORCHID EMPIRE are set to make their next chapter their most ambitious yet. With support already secured from BBC Radio 1, Kerrang, PROG, Knotfest, Spotify and Apple Music, Mirrorman is another bold step toward cementing their reputation as one of the UK’s most exciting modern rock bands.
