Magion

The symphonic gothic power metalband Magion hailing from the Dutch The Hague/Rotterdam-area was founded in September 2005. Magion creates powerful, stirring, dark, but always accessible music that matches perfectly with Myrthe's moving, partly autobiographical lyrics. The elaborately structured songs contain a lot of variation. Fast and tightly executed metal-elements combined with a symphonic approach result in exciting, bombastic episodes that seamlessly pass into atmospheric, sensitive passages.

Magion creates powerful, stirring, dark, but always accessible music that matches perfectly with Myrthe's moving, partly autobiographical lyrics. The elaborately structured songs contain a lot of variation. Fast and tightly executed metal-elements combined with a symphonic approach result in exciting, bombastic episodes that seamlessly pass into atmospheric, sensitive passages. Intriguing guitar solos enrich the overall sound, but leave plenty of room for the mesmerizing vocals that shift effortlessly from a poppy sound to a more classical approach. The vocals are supplemented on some tracks with clean or raw male vocals.

They released their debut album "Close to Eternity" in February of 2010 which can be purchased at their official website, www.magionband.com.
