Magician came to life in 2000 in Porto Alegre, Brazil, when Cristiano Schmitt (guitar), Elizandro Max (bass) and Zé Bocchi (drums) who used to play in a project called Anya, joined Dan Rubin (Vocals) and Renato Osorio (guitar), that had left the Rising Land project. This line-up remains the same until now.
Mixing heavy and progressive riffs and harmonies with the speed of melodic power metal, this Brazilian band brings us a particular sound. Powerful riffs, majestic choruses and excellent solos, mixed with great vocal arrangements. With the release of the very well reviewed demo Brief Magic Story, the band had the opportunity to play live in Porto Alegre with world wide famous metal bands such as Helloween, Shaman and others.
Recorded in 2006, Tales of the Magician is a conceptual work, telling the journey of Zhaldor, a mage seeking to free his homeland Zelgian from the underworld terror. The album was mixed and mastered at High Gain Studios in Hamburg/Germany by Dirk Schlächter (Gamma Ray), Kai Hansen (Gamma Ray, ex-Helloween) and Arne Lakenmacher, who worked with bands like Kreator, Primal Fear, Sodom, Nevermore and Destruction.
"Do you remember the feeling when a band called Angra was discovered years and years and years ago? Well, we know at least how it might have felt, because we just discovered MAGICIAN! The band from Porto Allegre, Brazil, delivers what is lost since 1996: Bombastic riffs, Speed Metal attacks, a dot of Progressive and excellent solos - pompous music with all Heavy Metal circumstances!" - Dockyard 1
"Brazil reveals lots of original bands, Magician is one of them, standing out with their inspired compositions, talent of playing, and production. Whoever form an opinion before listening to them will lose the chance of knowing a really promising band." - Die Hard Records
"MAGICIAN from Porto Alegre/Brazil sound like a bastard between Angra, Rhapsody and Dream Theater. Their album "Tales Of The Magician" has everything you need: orchestral arrangements, double bass and Prog Metal accessoires. (...) The guitar players Renato Osorio and Christiano Schmitt learned their lesson in Loureiro/Bettencourt and cite just a decent bit of Yngwie Malmsteen. But are even better than their influences to let vocalist Dan Rubin shine. Attention ANGRA - this band is gonna give you a rought ride!" - Metal Hammer Germany
"The vocals arrangements are gorgeous, the atmosphere sticks to the story, everything is rock solid. In Magician, none only all the guys technically excellent, but the writing style is diverse, blending the fucking fury with tasty acoustic ambiences. So what are you waiting for? Go get this beautiful "Tales of the Magician" in your favorite cd shop. It would really be a shame to ignore such a gem, especially if you believe that speed metal is a style condemned to repeat itself. The proof is right here!" - 10/10 - Soil Chronicles
