Magic Sword is an ageless tale of good and evil told through an ever expanding graphicnovel with each volume accompanied by an original, synth-heavy soundtrack as well as
immersive live performances. With the three mediums intertwined from conception,
together they create an epic experience for those bold enough to bear witness and
come away with a deeper understanding of the ultimate hero’s journey. Armed with a
musical and visual aesthetic that has its roots unabashedly buried deep in the golden
era of ‘70s and ‘80s fantasy and sci-fi, Magic Sword’s followers are called to another
plane of existence where the struggle between light and shadow becomes all too real.
In this newest installment, The Keeper embarks on a righteous quest to navigate a
corrupt world where the sword has been abducted by an evil most foul. Amid the
conflict, he seeks to find himself and reclaim what is rightfully his ‘Badlands.’ Originally
composed as a soundtrack to a feature film, ‘Badlands’ tells the story of loss and
rediscovery of one’s self.
The Immortals are:
The Keeper of the Magic Sword – red, keyboards
The Seer of All Truths – blue, guitar
The Weaver of all Hearts and Souls – yellow, drums
The Immortals give a direct account of their vision:
“In the beginning there was light... and darkness. A creation of perfect balance. As time
passed, evil spread over the land like a plague, slowly consuming everything in its path.
In the final moments before light was lost to the shadow for all time, a weapon of infinite
power was created, the Magic Sword. Thus, restoring balance to the universe.
The genesis of things are often small. As the single seed grows to a mighty oak, so too
did the path of the Keeper begin as a single choice in an age long past. Once a humble
king, they were manipulated into unknowingly unleashing the Dark One. All of reality
was torn asunder as the Lord of Shadow was released from their ancient prison, having
been bound only by the power contained within the Magic Sword. From that day forth,
the King was cursed to be the immortal Keeper of this powerful key. He has been
relentlessly compelled for millennia to find the Chosen One who will one day unleash
the true power of the weapon and cannot rest until the grand design is seen complete
with the Darkness bound once again.
Little is known of The Lord of Shadow but death and decay. Since the release from his
ancient prison by the hapless Keeper of the Magic Sword, he has pulled all of existence
slowly toward himself in a vortex of darkness and destruction. Any wayward soul that he
touches is corrupted to their ultimate demise. He uses his followers, acolytes of death,
with no more regard than any other, for his reason of being is simply to end all things.
Ensuingly, the forces of good have been searching for the Light to push him back into
his eternal prison. The key to operate this cell is the Magic Sword; when wielded by the
Chosen One, it has the power to return balance to the Universe.
The Keeper of the Magic Sword searches endlessly for the Chosen One. With the help
of the other Immortals, The Seer of All Things and The Weaver of Hearts and Minds,
they are ever trying to stem the tide of the Great Shadow from engulfing all life. Through
time and space itself, The Immortals are pulled by the power of the Magic Sword to
those who hunger for true justice. Whenever the need is great, they appear with the
Magic Sword and a high stakes proposition for those who are pure of heart, perpetually
hoping that their search is finally over.
This prophesied being contains the ability to wield the power of the Magic Sword and
seal the prison that holds Dark One for all eternity. Only then will The Keeper, The Seer,
and The Weaver be able to rest. Until the chosen one is revealed, the search continues
in this realm and many others throughout all of time and space. In what form will the
Magic Sword manifest? Who is the Chosen One? Will it be you? Answers will reveal
themselves as the need arises. A tale of high adventure as old as time itself.”
