Circus of Life

Descripción

Norwegian band Magic Pie can best be described as 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 and drum work. 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 its 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, acoustic guitar), Gilbert Marshall (organ, keyboards, lead vocals), Eirikur Hauksson (lead vocals,acc guitar), Lars Petter Holstad (bass guitar) and Jan T. Johannessen (drums). During the recent years the band has performed with extreme, success at various locations and festivals in USA, Sweden and Norway.Magic Pie follow up their fantastic first album with an even stronger second. All the same elements are there, the amazing vocal harmonies, the melodies, the incredible musicianship, but with all new songwriting. Their gutsy, playful, inspired progressive rock with touches of Spock's, Deep Purple and Flower Kings will make you happy for a long time.
