SIX MAGICS

Six Magics biography
SIX MAGICS is a progressive metal band from Santiago, Chile. The band formed in 1996 by five teenagers Pablo Stagnaro (drums), Erick Avila (guitar), Nicolas Espinoza (guitar), Juan Pablo Pizzarro (bass), and Sergio Villaroel (vocals).

The band recorded their first demo tape "Triloia De Un Guerrero" in their native language in 1997. In 1998, Juan Pablo Pizzaro left the band and was replaced by Francisco Sanchez (bass). In 1999, the band changed the line-up again, replacing Sergio Villaroel with Sergio Dominguez on vocals and adding a keyboard player Sebastian Carrasco. With this new line-up, SIX MAGICS decided to write their lyrics in English and tell the tales of Chilote Mythology.

In 2001, the band went into the studio and recorded their debut album "Dead Kings of the Unholy Valley." Early 2002, Gabriel Hidalgo (guitar) replaced Nicolas Espinoza and Mauricio Nader (bass) replaced Francisco Sanchez. The same year the band signed a world-wide distribution deal with Underground Symphony and they released their debut album.

In 2003, Underground Symphony released their sophomore album "The Secrets of an Island" without exclusive rights and the album was picked up by Hellion Records that distributed in Europe/Japan.

They toured Europe with a live theatrical play with actors that gave life to the mythological characters that is inspired by the concept story of "The Secrets of an Island."

Sometime before 2008 they replaced Sergio Dominguez with new vocalist, Elizabeth Vasquez. They have released their third studio album "Animal" that has been produced by David Prater (DREAM THEATER's "Images and Words" and "Scenes from a Memory").

WHY THIS BAND IS IN THE ARCHIVES:

SIX MAGICS play traditional progressive metal with stylistic elements similar to RHAPSODY, NIGHTWISH, and BLIND GUARDIAN which is evident by their third studio album "Animal." They were approved by the Prog Metal Team.
