MAJESTY were founded back in 1997 by Tarek Maghary (guitars, keyboards, vocals) and Udo Keppner (guitars) with the clear aim to deliver their one and only passion to the people: Heavy Metal. After diverse line up changes and tow demo tapes to final line up got completed with drummer Martin Gräter, bassist Martin Hehn and keyboarder Andreas Moll. Although using a keyboarder there is one primal thing in MAJESTY's sound: loud wild metal in the vein of their musical influences such as Manowar, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest or Accept. In summer 2000 MAJESTY recorded their first professional album "Keep it true" at the House of Audio, Karlsdorf which hit the German metal scene like a sledgehammer and made MAJESTY right away to the best-known unsigned band in Germany. The big magazines showed rave reviews and Rock Hard even presented them as Newcomer Tip! On the unsinged bands festival at the legendary Rockfabrik in Ludwigsburg MAJESTY earned the third rank and were therefore invited to open the 2001 Bang Your Head! open air in Balingen. That this tremendous band would not be unsigned for long was for sure and Massacre took this raw diamond under contract end of 2001. Now their first official longplayer "SWORD AND SORCERY" was released and MAJESTY delivered a true metal smasher of highest international quality which is surely one of the most outstanding debuts of 2002. The album was again recorded at House fo Audio, Karlsdorf, Germany (PC 69, Edenbridge, Axxis). Singer and producer Tarek Maghary is a real perfectionist: bombastic, epic metal tracks, a clear and pounding sound and a superb artwork by legend Ken Kelly (Kiss, Manowar) combines a must-have album for every real metalhead! On the song "Heavy Metal" ex-Manowar guitarist Ross the Boss appears as guest musician. www.truemetal.org/majesty
