PLANESWALKER

PLANESWALKER is where Magic: the Gathering meets Heavy Metal!
Featuring Sozos Michael (Gloryhammer) & Jason Ashcraft (Helion Prime)

We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Black Lion Records and look forward to what the future brings with them. Our debut album “Tales of Magic” will be reissued in a beautiful digipak, and it will be an official vinyl release! Of course, this will be followed up quickly by the much anticipated sophomore release, without giving too much away, all we can say is hold on to your powerstones!

Black Lion Records is proud to announce that we have joined a holy alliance of Planeswalkers, standing side by side with them as they embark on new adventures across the multiverse.

Inspired by the legendary lore of Magic: The Gathering and armed with the Powerstones of sparks, might, and magic, Planeswalker is ready to cast their mark upon the realms of power metal.

I genuinely loved their debut album, Tales of Magic — it’s one of those rare releases that hits hard and stays with you. Even more, these guys are incredibly talented and truly great people, which makes it all the more exciting to have them on board.

Planeswalker is a high-powered symphonic power metal band founded by guitarist Jason Ashcraft (Helion Prime) and vocalist Sozos Michael (Gloryhammer). The band delivers epic storytelling rooted in the rich lore of Magic: The Gathering, seamlessly blending fantastical themes with thunderous riffs, cinematic arrangements, and soaring vocals.

Formed in 2020, Planeswalker debuted with their full-length album Tales of Magic in 2022, a critically acclaimed release that instantly resonated with fans of bands like Blind Guardian, Rhapsody of Fire, and Kamelot. The album features a host of guest musicians and showcases the band’s ability to craft immersive narratives through powerful and melodic metal compositions.

Planeswalker’s music is as much a tribute to fantasy and geek culture as it is a showcase of world-class musicianship. With anthemic choruses, intricate instrumentation, and a flair for the theatrical, the band invites listeners on a journey through multiverse-spanning sagas and larger-than-life battles.

Whether you’re a die-hard metalhead or a fantasy fan looking for a new soundtrack, Planeswalker stands ready to summon the storm.
