Our Mirage is a German post-hardcore band based out of Marl, North-Rhine Westphalia.

History

Formation in 2017, Lifeline and Early Tours (2018)

The band was founded in March of 2017 with the release of their very first single 'Nightfall', which received over 200.000 views after 2 weeks. Within a years time, Our Mirage has released 4 singles and reached almost 3 million views on these videos. They have performed many shows in Germany and have been on a small European tour in November of 2017. In 2018, the band signed with German record label Arising Empire and released their first album titled "Lifeline" in August. During that year, they did some tours throughout Germany and around the time of the release of their first album, they were the opening act at the Elbriot Festival in Hamburg as they performed alongside Uncured, Jamey Jasta, Killswitch Engage, Beartooth, Satyricon, Skindred, Suicidal Tendencies, and Arch Enemy who closed the show. They even joined Breathe Atlantis on tour throughout Central Europe with Imminence who headlined the shows that same year.

Unseen Relations (2019)

In 2019, Our Mirage released their second album "Unseen Relations". This album features 11 singles. Among their singles, "Falling", features Telle Smith of The Word Alive.

Eclipse (2022)

In November of 2022, Our Mirage released their third major album titled "Eclipse". According to one source, the album received some mixed reviews.

Other Projects and Tours

In July of 2023, Our Mirage performed at the Deichbrand Festival in Wurster Nordseeküste. In September, two months later, the band headlined the Bookwood Festival along with Judas Priest in Buchholz with other bands opening for them. In 2024, Our Mirage joined with All Faces Down the Dead By April - The Affliction Europe Tour 2024 headlined by Swedish band Dead by April and Australian band The Amity Affliction.

Musical style

Our Mirage is known for their ambient music that provide emotional lyrics that can strike a nerve. Their music can offer a vast variety of elements which can relate to the listeners and they've poured their own emotions into their music. The band primarily focuses on the problems that younger folks deal with internally but their music doesn't just speak to them, it is very intuitive of the issues that many folks deal with on a common basis. Frontman Timo Bonner provides clean and unclean lyrics throughout their music. One instance of their emotion-filled lyrics is their hit "Different Eyes" from the Unseen Relations album, in which the song went in a direction of melodic and post-hardcore tracks and could also appeal to those who are less into the post-hardcore and melodic hardcore scene.
