IRON MASK SIGN TO AFM RECORDS FOR "BLACK AS DEATH"

I am very pleased and proud to announce that our new Iron Mask label is AFM records from Germany! We signed a worldwide deal and a publishing agreement for the world as well!

More details to follow soon.

IRON MASK "BLACK AS DEATH" UPDATE

'After having the material recorded I realised Mark Boals would be the best singer for most of the new songs, range wise this is my most technically difficult album to sing, so Mark ended up on 10 songs, Goran Edman on one and Valhala Jr on one, as he is recovering from a neck surgery and couldn’t do more.

 

In other news, I decided to have the great Mats Olausson on all keyboards so we warmly welcome him in Iron Mask , Ramy Ali on drums, Vassili Moltchanv on bass and Roma on a few aggressive parts, so this is the final line up for 'Black as Death'.  We will all meet soon in Europe to shoot the new video clip.

 

Last but not least, Marquee Avalon, our Japanese label for ASIA has already signed 'Black As Death' and 3 more options albums, now we will start search labels for Europe and USA.

 

The mix and production will be done by master mixer Denis Ward at House of Audio studio early September ( he already did the drums recording over there with Ramy Ali,assisted by Vassili and me in March.)

That's all for now!!!

 

Cheers!

GARY MOORE R.I.P.

I'm really devastated as Gary was one of my heroes and a true influence on my playing. I remember when I was a kid trying to reproduce his solos and melodies while I was learning to play guitar. My thoughts are with his family and friends. 

R.I.P. brother, your music will live forever.

MAGIC KINGDOM - "SYMPHONY OF WAR" OUT TODAY + NEW WEBSITE

To celebrate the release of "Symphony Of War" today the official new Magic kingdom website is now live at www.magic-kingdom.be
 

October 4th 2010
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MAGIC KINGDOM "SYMPHONY OF WAR" WILL BE UNLEASHED ON 29 OCTOBER ON LIMB MUSIC

After 5 years of hard work and setbacks , we are more than happy about that release! A great double album for the 12th year anniversary of Magic Kingdom! This is our most majestic, epic and symphonic album and first with new lead vocalist Olaf Hayer (ex Dionysus).

"Symphony Of War" appears like a soundtrack for a blockbuster history movie. The sound is influenced by classical music, filigree riffing, big choirs and mighty melodies, notwithstanding first-class Metal attacks and a well-balanced heaviness. Limited double CD in deluxe slipcase includes two bonus tracks, video clip.  At the core of the limited edition of the double CD, you'll find the song "Metallic Tragedy-Chapter 2" the Holy Pentalogy, divided into 5 separate movements which is almost half an hour long (29min 06)- it is a perfect epitome of all the band's trademarks: speedy attacks are accompanied by orchestral, classical parts, epic and movie score only parts, once again mixed with the 5 different vocalists/characters of that majestic and mighty 29 min masterpiece

Japan and Asia release /24th November on our Japanese label Marquee/Avalon.

Listen to the track 'We Rise' HERE.

The track listing is as follows:

Symphony Of War Limited edition.

BAROCK HEROES TOUR CANCELLED

Unfortunately the "Barock Heroes Tour" is cancelled. The booking agency didn't succeed in getting confirmations to any of the "promised" gigs.  Going to tour for a couple gigs in Holland and Belgium for the few confirmed shows isn't possible  due to tour bus and flights costs which are too expensive  to make it viable so we can't go play for a few shows only.  Promoters don't seem to care about neo-classical metal and quality music, let them book 'chicks' metal which is now fashionable.  I am really sorry for all real  metal fans who've already e-mailed us and were really eager and happy to see those 3 excellent bands; hopefully the future will bring better opportunities.

See you all at Frosrock festival on 4th December!!!
