Magic Pie set to release “Fragments of the 5th Element”

The long-awaited fifth full-length album from Norwegian Prog Rockers MAGIC PIE is on its way. Titled Fragments of the 5th Element it is set to hit the streets on Karisma Records on the 30th of August in CD, Gatefold LP and Digital formats.

Fragments of the 5th Element finds MAGIC PIE steering clear of the sterile perfection so often found amongst modern Prog bands in order to create an album with a slightly more unpolished sound, and a “rough around the edges” feel that gives it an added bite. From the genre-defying opener, to the epic 23 minute closer, MAGIC PIE clearly demonstrate just why they have become a household name amongst Prog Rock fans, and why this album has been worth the long wait.

Mixed & Mastered by Rich Mouser (SPOCKS BEARD, TRANSATLANTIC) at The Mouse House Studio in Los Angeles, drums for Fragments of the 5th Element were recorded at Lionheart Studio & Production, where Øyvind Voldmo Larsen also worked his magic as engineer. All other recordings were made at Kim Stenberg’s Studio Basement.
