Piąty krążek MAGICK TOUCH w maju

 

Today, Edged Circle Productions announces May 19th as the international release date for Magick Touch's highly anticipated fourth album, Cakes & Coffins, on CD and vinyl LP formats. In lieu of this announcement, the band reveal a brand-new video for the first single "Apollyon." With the video directed and edited by B. Nordvik and camera by B.Nordvik and Paolo Cipriani, see & hear Magick Touch's "Apollyon" video in its entirety HERE at Edged Circle's official YouTube channel.

By now, Magick Touch should require little introduction. Since the release of their Electrik Sorcery debut in 2016 - and as always, through the auspices of Edged Circle - Magick Touch have become a veritable institution of hard-rockin' majesty. Whether you qualify them as hard rock or just heavy metal, the Norwegian power-trio have always been on the ascent and always deliver the goods, be it on record or especially onstage.

It could be argued that Magick Touch hit their apex of good-times classicism with Heads Have Got to Rock'n'Roll, but such a zenith simply set the stage for a new one in Cakes & Coffins. "It feels good to finally be back with some new, heavy tunes that also bring something new to the Magick Touch universe," states vocalist/guitarist HK Rein. "This is probably the first time we have ever agreed on a theme and a mood before even throwing the first riffs together. We wanted the music, lyrics, and artwork all to be related, just like the best heavy metal records do!"

Truly! With suitably spooky album artwork by Andreas Pilskog - not to mention mixing by Håvard Soknes in Studio 841 and mastering by Iver Sandøy at Solslottet Studio - Cakes & Coffins is the complete package: Magick Touch with a new (out)look and a slightly new(er) sound, deadlier than ever. Delivering the goods...and darkly!

In the meantime, see & hear the brand-new video "Apollyon" HERE at Edged Circle's official YouTube channel. Preorder for EU can be found HERE while preorder for US can be found HERE. Bandcamp preorder can be found HERE. Aforementioned cover art and tracklisting are as follows:
