This new single and video follow Dark&#8217;s November 6th debut with the title track and the November 19th second single release, &#8220;Thin Line Of Understanding.\u201d<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><br class=\"\" \/>\u201cPoison Woman\u201d is a rock-spiced, up-tempo song from the dark, folky debut. 70s drums, bass, Western movie-ish electric guitar and a\u00a0doomsday piano are the framework for Mauri Dark\u2019s acoustic baritone guitar and deep, low voice. After five albums and hundreds of shows, the\u00a0frontman for metal duo, Mystons (born Mauri Kosonen, 1978) has stepped into the bare boots of a vulnerable acoustic storyteller. \u201cPoison\u00a0Woman\u201d is the first song written for his debut.<br class=\"\" \/><br class=\"\" \/>\u201cPoison Woman&#8217; is the end song of my 7-year relationship. It is about two people who brought out the worst in each other. It could as easily be\u00a0\u2018Poison Man\u2019 written by the other half,&#8221; Mauri Dark says. \u201cI wrote it when I was living alone in a forest cabin in Finland in 2016. My mother had\u00a0stage 3 cancer, and the word \u2018poison\u2019 came from the treatments. She died on May 27, 2017. 364 days later I was happily married, and our\u00a0firstborn daughter was born. This roller-coaster of life wrote my debut album.\u201d<br class=\"\" \/><br class=\"\" \/>\u201cPOISON WOMAN\u201d OFFICIAL LYRIC\u00a0VIDEO:<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8OU7wj1HmzU?controls=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div class=\"\">\n<p>Dreams Of A Middle-Aged Man, the album, was written, produced, recorded and performed by Mauri Dark.

The\u00a0atmospheric, discreet backgrounds are built with acoustic instruments such as piano, pump organ, cello and upright bass, adding electric guitar\u00a0ambience (\u00e1 la Pink Floyd, Ennio Morricone\u2019s Western soundtracks, blues and jazz), and acoustic drums and electric bass on two tracks.<br class=\"\" \/><br class=\"\" \/>\u201cDreams Of A Middle-Aged Man is a dream come true record,\u201d Mauri Dark says. \u201cIt combines everything I have learned about music and life.
