   About Magion
Welcome to the official magion myspace

After years of activity within the local music scene of The Hague, drummer David de Waal decided it was about time to start his own band. Fascinated by bands from the female fronted metal genre like Nightwish and After Forever, it was clear from the beginning on what style of music he wanted to make. David decided to involve his long-time friend Chris Vrij, and together they started writing music. Very soon they felt it was time to turn the project into a real band. After a period of auditions and member switches, Magion became the band that it is at this very moment and headed towards a promising future.

Magion provides all the elements that a real metal band needs. The music is fast, but still catchy and has a progressive edge to it. Dark bombastic episodes are followed by atmospheric and sensitive pieces. There is a lot of room for the vocals, the style of which is effortlessly switched back and forth between a classical approach and a more poppy sound. The female vocals are backed up by clean or raw male vocals.

Magion is a close group of like-minded people, who create their music as a single unit. The swift drum rhythms produced by David de Waal are combined with the thrusting, supportive bass lines of Menno Bruggeling. Together, they produce the basis on which guitarists Chris Vrij's and Arjen van der Toorn can display their intense guitar riffs and emotive leads. The sound of metal is therefore prominently put on the foreground in Magion’s sound. Key-giant Walter Romberg provides symphonic melodies and stage-wide atmospheric tapestries. However, at the centre of the massive soundscape lies the naturally powerful voice of singer Myrthe van Beest, who effortlessly rises up through the musical violence. Through her lyrics, she tells the world her stories.

All band members have a lot of experience in the music scene and take a very critical approach to their work. The result of this approach shines through in their mature compositions, lyrics, and artwork as well as the execution and production of their music. On stage Magion won’t disappoint either. With a confident, enthusiastic and tight live performance, Magion convince their audience with their live show.

Magion’s debut album “Close to Eternity” was recorded in 2008 at Excess Studios Rotterdam (After Forever, Gorefest, Ayreon, Epica) and was mastered in Sweden by none other than Dan Swanö (Bloodbath, Opeth, Edge of Sanity, Millencollin, Katatonia, Novembre). The spectacular artwork was created by the Brazilian graphical artist Jobert Mello.

With “Close to Eternity” Magion show that a new band has come to light whose presence can’t be denied. Magion are ready to take their next steps into the world and are determined to prove themselves as the new talent in the metal landscape. Magion are determined to live up to this promise, so make sure not to miss them on tour!

Stay Magionated!

Hello Magion,
Thanks for the add. I discovered you 1 week ago, I met Karin at a concert of Skeptical Minds, she had the demo in her car. I found it nice => I listened to the songs on myspace when I was at home…
I hope to see you soon in concert
Have a nice week
Greetings

Thanks voor het berichtje!
Jullie hebben Dan Swano zover weten te krijgen om jullie nummers te produceren, dus dat jullie aandacht krijgen is dan bijna evident toch? ;)
Zoals de planning nu is gaan we begin augustus beginnen met onze eerste full-length. En hopelijk gaat daarna voor ons het balletje ook een klein beetje rollen...

In ieder geval: heel veel succes met jullie opkomende CD!!
