For immediate release: The Progmetal Pantheon Hour will start in February 2021!

We are beyond excited to start this new adventure in online radio, which is aimed at promoting upcoming progressive metal acts who you have not heard yet. We feel that there is so much music out there that deserves to be heard that doesnt get the chance in today's landscape dominated by big names competing for attention. So here we want to give back to the community, by creating a place that fosters new talent!

This show will be made monthly and will be uploaded to our youtube channel for everyone to hear. Uploads will be planned around the 20th of each month.

For more info about the show, please check the vlog from host @tdwprog in which he explains the basic idea. (The part starts at 10:33) Vlog link: https://bit.ly/TDWvlogEP12

Today we celebrate the physical release of TDW's 'The Days the Clock Stopped'!

It has been a long journey indeed, but from today onwards, the new TDW album ‘The Days The Clock Stopped’ is available worldwide in it’s CD/DVD digibook format!
The album was released digitally on the 4th of December 2020, but had to be delayed physically due to Covid-19 delaying the album’s production.

It’s finally out now and here’s what Tom had to say about this event:
“Finally, the album is now available to the masses through distro’s worldwide! This album, documentary and everything surrounding it has really been a trip and a half to complete, so I am glad to see that it will now find it’s way to the fans! Next step: getting the vinyl in order, because (as is tradition for this album by now) that also still needs to happen, haha!”
As stated above, the album will also be released on a strictly limited vinyl release which is slated to be released in the first half of 2021!

"Thank you Tom for creating a record that, despite a couple of small misgivings, is a genuine triumph... It’s a raw, emotional body of work, where you can hear how much effort and heart has gone into creating it. Don’t be put off by the sheer volume of music on offer – if you’re a fan of adventurous progressive music, you need to experience ‘The Days The Clock Stopped’ for yourself and discover some great new prog in the process." - 90% out of 100% - Matt Spall -

2020 was a rough, difficult year for all of us, but also a where music thrived on multiple fronts.
A lot of great releases came out through the whole year, and it still doesn't end.

As for the label itself, we can look back upon a great year of releases of Bioplan, Dreamwalkers Inc, IDEK., Soul Secret, Avandra and last but not least, Tom de Wit's own personal story with TDW Music & Visions. All releases were received well by both fans and press alike, and it feels good to contribute to the progscene by releasing all this music to the public!
We are very happy and proud of each and everyone that has been involved with our journey this year and on behalf of the Layered Reality team, all the artists and bands!

We want to thank you, wish you great holidays and a happy and healthy 2021!

As of today we are heading into the last week of TDW's 'The Days the Clock Stopped' pre-order!
If pre-ordering the product is on your mind, make sure you are on time!

It's an intense album where main writer Tom tells the story behind his near death experience, because of a near deadly bowel disease and an operation that almost went wrong.

If you're still in doubt on pre-ordering the product, then I'd advice you to listen to 2 singles of the album to peek your interest.

Check out the first single 'Death and Her Brother Greg' here: https://bit.ly/TDWdeathgreg
Check out the second single 'The Pulse' here: https://bit.ly/TDWthepulse

If that still doesn't convince you, you can also listen to the full experience here and let it sink in:

"Progressive metal project TDW's new single "The Pulse" is an interesting and hard to classify endeavor. Featuring a stripped down acoustic opening, heavy transitions and a wide variety of vocals, it keeps you on your toes throughout."

After the Pre-premiere of his Album, we also have another review!

"Overall, this album plays through like many progressive, avandt-garde metal albums do with some pretty intense heavy passages in some of the track. The vocals and musicianship is superb all around. This one really needs more time to encompass the worderful craftsmanship that Tom de Wit has put forth. Quite the concept album"! - 3.5 out of 5 -

Thanks a million to both websites for giving this album the love and for spreading the word! It really means a lot to us! ❤

I'd advise you to take a drink and a little snack, sit down and relax, because it's a long heavy journey in Tom's mind.

About 70 minutes left before it starts!

The documentary of TDW Music & Visions 'The Days The Clock Stopped - The Third Person' will be shown at 21:00 (CET) and will only happen once on youtube with a livechat featuring Tom himself talking about the album!
The movie will be online for 12 hours after the premiere for the international viewers in different timezones, so people can see it properly.

Thank you Metalunderground for the premiere of TDW's second single 'The Pulse'!

You can find the full article right here:
http://www.metalunderground.com/news/details.cfm?newsid=149058

Here is what Tom had to say regarding this video release:

"This song is one of the heavier and more intense pieces on this album.
And that is for a good reason: This song literally describes the night in which Tom almost lost everything and had a near-death experience due to a surgery that was not executed properly. This is reflected in the way the music twists and turns and the dissonance that takes place".

"The concept of this album is a first person experience through my mind and body as I was attacked by a severe bowel disease called Colitis Ulcerosa and what that did to me when I was in the hospital in my early 20s.
This song represents one of my lowest points and the darkness that I experienced up close". Says Tom.

It's a heavy, frantic ride that shifts it's dynamics through fastpaced riffs, dissonant breakdowns and multiple vocal styles.

If you like what you hear, be sure to share the video as much as possible, we appreciate it a lot!

You can pre-order the new album until the 4th of December here ⬇️
