Gandalf's Fist, the quirky British prog-rock outfit from Cumbria, has been spinning fantastical tales through music since forming in 2009. Fronted by multi-instrumentalist Dean Marsh and lyricist/vocalist Luke Severn, this independent duo crafts immersive concept albums that blend folk, metal, and classic prog influences into sprawling narrative adventures. Their catalog reads like a shelf of fantasy paperbacks – from the steam-punk trilogy *The Clockwork Fable* to the Lovecraftian nautical journey *Stakes at Low Tide* – each release packed with theatrical storytelling and intricate musical world-building.
Known for their DIY spirit and collaborative nature, the band frequently teams up with prog-scene guests (including former members of Pallas and Magenta) while maintaining a grassroots connection with their fanbase. Recent releases like *Hell's Sacrament* (2023) and *Widdershins* (2022) continue their tradition of pairing mythic storytelling with retro-futuristic sounds, cementing their reputation as the troubadours of alternate realities in the modern prog landscape.
