After the japanese release of its debut,
"Tales of the Magician", in December, through the label Soundholic (Grave Digger, Dark Funeral, Marduk, Evergrey, Nocturnal Rites, etc), the brazilian power metal band
MAGICIAN inked a deal with the german label
Dockyard 1, which will be responsible for the worldwide release of the album, which is scheduled for the end of June.
Besides of Magician, Dockyard 1 also has other great metal acts in its cast like Virgin Steele, Mike Terrana, Iron Savior, Savage Circus, Blood Stain Child and Stormwarrior.
About the release the label stated in its website:
"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! Produced by Dirk Schlächter (GAMMA RAY) and Arne Lakenmacher at High Gain Studios, they applied the final polish to this musical splendour. Be prepared for the brilliance of "Tales of The Magician"!"
