PROG METALLERS MAGIC PIE REVEAL DETAILS AND VIDEO FOR A TRACK FROM SIXTH FULL-LENGTH ALBUM

The long-awaited sixth full-length album from Norwegian Prog Rockers MAGIC PIE is on its way.
Titled “Maestro”, it will be released by Karisma Records on the 16th of May on CD, LP and
Digital formats.

As for the three previous Pie albums with Eirikur on vocals, Kim has composed the music for
“Maestro”, and Eirikur have done the lyrics and the melodies on top of it. But Kim has his saying on
the melodies and sometimes he has some parts already written out. Eirikur explains:

To me, the essence of our co-work lies in the fact that he knows his Prog while my main influence is heavy metal, along with some flirting with “The Beatles” and “maestro” David Bowie. This creates something unique (I hope) and gives us a special approach within the prog-rock industry. I have even managed to squeeze in a Beatles title in one of our songs, – look for it!

The first single from the album is released today (13.03) and it’s for the track “Everyday Hero”. The
band has this to say about it:

“Everyday Hero” is an honest little rock-tune, and quite a jolly one too. A straightforward tribute to
all the nine to 5 fivers around the world, where Kim and Erling once again invite you to a high-class
guitar and synth duel. Have a listen…

“Everyday Hero” can be streamed or downloaded from a variety of services:

A video for the track can be seen here:

The band has a special welcome this time to the new drummer Martin Utby who has given them
new energy with his energetic playing. Mixed by Jacob Holm-Lupo and mastered by Rich Mouser,
who tragically lost his home and studio in the fierce fires in the Los Angeles area some few weeks
back. The master of the new album delivered from Rich just 2-3 days before the fire. Our thoughts
are with you Rich!
