Magion was a Dutch symphonic metalband from The Hague, existing from 2005 to 2014. The band released two albums, an EP and two demos,[1] and performed with bands such as Epica, Delain, Trail of Tears & Jorn. The album "Close to Eternity" was mastered by the Swedish rock/metal producer and musician Dan Swanö.[2] Through the years the popularity of the group gradually grew, peaking late 2013 after the release of their second album "A Different Shade of Darkness", which generated various media attention [3] and resulted in a performance at the 11th edition of the annual Metal Female Voices Fest in Belgium, late 2013. The band split up after disagreements in the spring of 2014.[4]
