Magic Sword Announces ‘Endless,’ New LP Out March 27
Magic Sword, a trio of Immortals who lead the charge against evil in the ongoing Magic Sword multiverse (graphic novel, soundtracks and live performances), will release their second LP Endless via
Joyful Noise Recordings on March 27.
Magic Sword is: The Keeper of the Magic Sword (keyboards), The Seer of All Truths (guitar), and The Weaver of all Hearts and Souls (drums). The Chicago Reader described the unique comic book-meets-live performance as an entity that “take as much inspiration from John Carpenter as from Daft Punk to create a funky, metallic, ominous soundtrack to their own comics-inspired canon. On stage, the trio adorn themselves in cloaks and colorful LED masks with flickering strobes, vibrant stage lights, and light-up novelty swords setting the mood around them.”

And in front-man Murray, the world may have found its next unlikely pop star.
