Having been in several rock and metal bands in Europe for several decades, Mauri Dark faced a literal change of tone.

After years of yelling, his voice lowered, and his baritone burr has created a unique sound for his new album "Dreams of a Middle Aged Man". Through tragedy, loss, love, and hope, the album is a storybook of Dark's life in the past few years.

We talk to the Finnish artist about the album, his change of voice, and the European scene in rock.
