Fantastical heavy metal band Spell released its new LP, 'Tragic Magic', on October 28 via Bad Omen Records. Featuring ten tracks of prime, progressive heavy music flooded with mesmerizing atmospheres, 'Tragic Magic' sees Spell take a decidedly grittier lyrical approach, leaning less into escapism, while confronting real life challenges of modern times. Striking cover art by Polish master painter and illustrator Władysław Podkowiński portends the palpable potency that the record promises.

'Tragic Magic' is the highly-anticipated follow up to Spell's critically-acclaimed 2020 LP, 'Opulent Decay', a record hailed as "fantasy rock" by Blabbermouth, "enchanting" by Heavy Blog is Heavy, and "a captivating mix of Rush- and Blue Öyster Cult" by Revolver. 'Tragic Magic' was written and recorded entirely as a collaboration between brothers Cam and Al (Lester); the record's songcraft is steeped in the atmosphere of the arcane, yet the hooks are more razor-sharp than ever. While influences like the esoteric charge of the aforementioned Blue Öyster Cult and the elemental expansions of Camel and King Crimson drift through these crepuscular melodies, Spell are as likely to be influenced by the life-affirming energy of '60s Motown, the ethereal dimensions of Cocteau Twins, the strident woe of Candlemass, and the classic songwriting chops of Russ Ballard.

"The themes on this album are more concrete, guided by personal experience," offers Mesmer. "Tragic Magic' has to do with mental illness, ageing, the death of a loved one, the decay of time. this is what 'tragic magic' means to us - loss and tragedy outside of our control, which fundamentally alters our perceived reality. This album is our response to the world as it currently is: music for an ascetic age."

"And we couldn't be happier about the result," Mesmer continues. "The identity of Spell came into sharp focus as it was always intended to be. Music is magic, and Spell is a spell. Fundamentally, it is a forum to make our dreams come true."
