Classic, mystical metal with a high dosage of '70s rock influences and unparalleled guitar work! On their first LP, Dealers of Divinity, Detroit, Michigan's White Magician seamlessly blend the magic(k) of Blue ?yster Cult with the spellbinding glory of Mercyful Fate! The title for White Magician's first full-length, Dealers of Divinity, depicts three blind card dealers who are employed by an entity who controls the universe's behind-the-scenes gaming facility. The dealers laugh at the earth's inhabitants' belief that they are free. They watch them line up and play at this game called "life" and grasp at the illusion that they can actually win. But, ultimately, it is an artifice of the highest degree. Their fate has already been determined by the dealers well before the game starts. It begs the ultimate question: Do we accept this destiny or will we fight to make our own? Recorded over many nights and weekends between May 2018 and December 2019 in Lansing, Michigan by George "The Extortionist" Szegedy, Dealers Of Divinity does not lack substance and drama. The album's seven songs benefit from not only The Great Kaiser's smooth vocal delivery but a regular influx of twin guitar melodies, classical guitar arrangements and technical guitar motifs, all immersed in songs that are often a journey onto themselves. Arcane and ambitious, Dealers of Divinity is an extravagance of magic and power sure to captivate any classic metal fan!
