Mägo de Oz is a Spanish folk metal band with a storied career that blends elements of heavy metal, Celtic music, and rock. Originally formed in 1988 by drummer Txus di Fellatio in Madrid, the group quickly became known for their distinctive style, theatrical live performances, and fantasy-themed lyrics. With a lineup that often features an array of instruments beyond the standard rock set-up, including violins, flutes, and bagpipes, Mägo de Oz has carved out a unique niche in the metal genre.

The band's lyrical universe is rich with references to literature, mythology, and a wide array of social and philosophical topics, articulating their narratives with a mix of both Spanish and Celtic influences. Over the years, their sound has evolved but always retained a signature blend of aggressive riffs and complex arrangements, combined with storytelling. Mägo de Oz's discography boasts a number of successful albums and singles, with their most recent releases such as "Alicia en el Metalverso," "Bandera Negra," and "La Dama del Mar," continuing to bolster their reputation as a band that consistently challenges the boundaries of genre, while maintaining a loyal fanbase in Spain and across the world. The band's enduring appeal and creativity make them a significant force in the European metal scene.
