Festival News: Symforce II Announces Magic Pie Added To Line Up, Plus 1 Other

Posted on Monday, February 25 @ 01:54:38 UTC by nightowl

Symforce II is pleased to announce the signing of Magic Pie. This Norwegian sixpiece was recently awarded "Progressive Rock Indie Artist of the Year 2007" which is a fantastic achievement. Their albums Motion Of Desire and Circus Of Life have achieved critical acclaim all over the world and with a new singer in their ranks things surely look fantastic. Rated as one of the best rock vocalists in Europe, Magic Pie's new lead singer Eirikur Hauksson will still be a member of Ken Hensley's Live-Fire as well, whilst he's also teaming up with Trond Holter of Wigwam fame to start a new band. Magic Pie will surely set the house on fire. Their presence at Symforce II is a one-off!



When the final sounds from Opeth have died in the main hall, the afterparty will have started. In a similar style like last year's Bootcut, we have once again opted for a duo of Hammond organ and drums. Kriminal Hammond Inferno is based in Brussels and delivers a mysterious groove mixed with obscure Italian soundtracks. Ennio Morricone meets Goldfinger meets "Also Sprach Zarathustra." You get the picture. A not the be missed event which we could describe as "progressive tongue-in-cheek" so as to dust off the serious nature of our beloved musical genre.
