I had no idea that Olsen had left the band. That was fast!!!
Eirikur Hauksson new lead vocalist
Eirikur is replacing Allan Olsen in the
new Magic Pie stable, and his powerful voice will become another
important element in the pie’s vocal staff.

He is ranged as one of the best hard rock
vocalists in Europe, and along with Gilbert and Eirik we are looking
forward to bring the “Magic Pie” song arrangements up to the next level.
"I am very excited about joining in as a member of the
Pie-Family. This will be something totally different from what I have
done before, but musically I feel very much at home in Magic Pie. I am
a fan of bands like Kansas and early Alan Parson´s Project and I look
forward to work with Kim (and the others) on some song-writing. Kim´s
songwriting is the heart of Magic-Pie and I hope I can tribute to his
work – time will tell! As for my other projects, I will still be a
member of Ken Hensley´s Live-Fire and I am starting a band with Trond
Holter from Wig-Wam as well. Looks like 2008 is going to be a busy
year...well as I often say – busy while still breathing, rest when
you´re dead."
