MAGISTARIUM is a Symphonic Power Metal band from Hannover in Germany. The band was founded at
2005 and released the album “Faith In Salvation” in 2009 and “5’55” Till The End Of Days” in 2015.
The track “Fear of the Death” has interesting into with clear drums and great Symphonic elements with
modern echoes, with double drums and Heavy Metal elements. This song brings to my mind a mix of epic
Metal reminiscent of MANOWAR and JUDAS PRIEST. The ballad offering “Only in My Dreams” presents a
soulful refrain accentuated by a notable guitar solo. I truly enjoyed “Fear of the Death”—bringing massive
guitars and a memorable melody…lovely keys! “To the Sky” brings essences of HELLOWEEN influences.
