The Greek veterans of THE MAGUS are presenting their hellish cover of ARTHUR BROWN’s classic song ‘Fire’ featuring Efi-Eva from EUPHROSYNE. The track comes in the form of a unique music video including prominent members of the Greek black metal scene such as ROTTING CHRIST, VARATHRON, LUCIFER’S CHILD and many more. 

Watch ‘Fire’ below.

THE MAGUS comments on the track and collaboration with the scene:

I always wanted to pay tribute to the remarkable Arthur Brown. This man, his music and theatrics shaped the aesthetics and visuals of the darker side of metal as we know it today.

So here it is: ‘Fire’. A cover of a 1968 song, performed by us in 2024, in our own extraordinary way. The video of the song is also another vision I had in my mind for years. I wanted to gather musicians and artists who I have worked with, one way or another, all these years. Friends, brothers and sisters, blasphemers and heretics. Individuals who have served and hammered (and continue to do so) relentlessly our most cherished music genre: black metal. Older and younger, originators and continuators. A big part of the Hellenic Black Metal scene. Our scene, our community, which is still going strong…

The video itself presents the way we bond and communicate in the physical level and the metaphysical level. So members (you know who they are!) of ROTTING CHRIST, VARATHRON, LUCIFER’S CHILD, KAWIR, W.E.B., ORDER OF THE  EBON HAND, YOTH IRIA, PENTHOS, FUNERAL STORM, EUPHROSYNE, have enjoyed our feast and joined our ritual.

It is your turn now Disciples, to enjoy and join!

Like Serpents from the Depths we rise
