Drummer wanted!
Reflected Riddles is looking for a new drummer! In the course of 2014 Corneel, our current drummer, will move abroad. Do you know (or are you) a drummer with a love for rock with a twist? Doesn’t a drum fill in thirteen-eighth scare you, are you able to write music as a team and would you like a challenge? Do you recognize yourself in our music and vision? We practice twice a month in Dordrecht (The Netherlands) and perform our music on stage about ten times a year.
Are you interested? Please contact us via info@reflectedriddles.com and we will contact you! We will send you a demo you can practice and an invite to our rehearsal room!

Reflected Riddles publishes song on ‘the last day’
Today progressive rock band Reflected Riddles published their song Egypt on their website. This epic nine-minute song is the latest creation of a group of young rockers who are eager to keep the Dutch progressive rock scene alive. The music of Reflected Riddles is characterized by it’s metallic guitar sound, interspersed with symphonic orchestras and melodic guitar solos.
After they published their song Running From Your Table earlier this year, the band was spotted by organizations like Progmotion, so naturally new material was bound to follow quickly. Today – on ‘doomsday’ – Egypt is finally published and it’s available for free on www.reflectedriddles.com. Bram Nennie, lead vocal of the band: “Today, on 21-12-2012, some expect the end of the world. We sing of a new beginning.”
Left to right: Walter Behr (guitar/vocal), Geert Boer (base), Bram Nennie (vocal), Corneel van Dam (drums), Steve Lock (keys/vocal).
The song contains unmistakable Arab influences, combined with dynamic variations. Guitarist Walter Behr says: “We’ve challenged each other to explore our limits, both musically and technically.” In the course of the year 2013 more songs will follow. Also, the band will play live during the semi-finals of the Saturn Beach Battle in Scheveningen on February 16, 2013.

Gigs needed!
A lot of time has gone by since we updated this website. Now, finally, we sat down and took the time to update the layout of our website. Hopefully you can find what you’re looking for more easy now.
So how are we doing? We’ve had quite an exciting year. Within a few months we found a base player and a vocal, which made us complete again and ready to go! Also our list of finished songs kept on growing. For now we’re still very busy writing songs and texts, but it looks like we can get the show going within a few months.
By the end of this summer, we’re really looking for gigs to play! Please let us know if you know someone or something or some place for us to play, we’d really appreciate it!
