Magick Touch - Cakes And Coffins - LP

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.

Produced by the band along with Spidergawd's Per Borten at Sørgården Studio, Cakes & Coffins bristles with a unique energy: while "dark" for MAGICK TOUCH, there's nevertheless an invigorating / inspiring aspect to the album that keeps it from being a total slit-your-wrists fest. Such is the eternal power & glory of HEAVY METAL. "When the world stopped spinning and went into pandemic panic, it became even clearer that our splendor of living might not endure," expounds drummer Bård Nordvik. "A bleaker worldview, however, did produce some bright and shimmering hard rock moments that hopefully can inspire to make a better future and even better heavy metal live shows."

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!
