Tigermoth
Records
are proud to announce the release of Metamorphosis, the fourth
studio album from Magenta on April 21st.
Without abandoning the sense of melody and dynamics that remain the
Magenta trademark, Metamorphosis sees the band taking a darker,
more intense path with powerful, sometimes disturbing subject matter.
“I think this album is going to surprise a lot of people, “says Rob Reed
“It will challenge many people’s preconceptions of what Magenta are, and
what we are capable of musically. Most of it was written on guitar, so
some of the material is heavier than before, whilst retaining most of
the elements of the Magenta sound.”
The album also marks the band’s return to long-form pieces of music,
with two 20 minute-plus songs, namely Metamorphosis, the title
track, a disturbing tale of a serial killer with a split personality,
and the album opener The Ballad of Samuel Layne, which follows
the thoughts of a soldier in the World War One trenches as he
prepares to go into battle.
