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!

You can pre-order the vinyl and/or get the album at the following links:

"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 -

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!

This new album showcases a more introspective and ambient side to the band’s sound that is wider, deeper and more immersive than their earlier releases. Yet at the same time when this album decides to hit hard, it leaves a big impact".
