"Magic Pie"
"Magic Pie"
By Norwegian Magic Pie, Classic Rock meets Progressive Rock in a conglomerate of influences from the 70’s and from todays progressive scene.
The characteristic and unique Magic Pie sound is founded on strong melodious songs, blended by powerful vocal arrangements, sparkling guitar riffs, 70’s organ and synths, and solid bass-drumwork.
The music embraces a wide spectre of styles, changing from the softest emotional piece to the more heavy metal riffs.
Even if the band has it’s unique sound and signature, influences from Spocks Beard, Deep Purple, YES, Dream Theater, Pink Floyd, Kansas, Flower Kings and Uriah Heep is perceptible in the musical “pie”.
The band was established in 2001 and consists of Kim Stenberg (guitars), Eirik Hanssen (lead vocals, acc. guitar), Erling Henanger (keyboards, lead vocals), Eirikur Hauksson (lead vocals,acc guitar), Lars Petter Holstad (bass guitar) and Jan T. Johannessen (drums).
Magic Pie signed with Swedish record label “Progress Records” in 2005 and released their first album “Motions of Desire” the same year. In 2007 they released their follow-up and second album “Circus of Life”. The third album “The Suffering Joy” was released in January 2011.
Magic Pie 4th album is in progress and will be released 25th May 2015 by Magic Pie's new label Karisma Records.
