Mage are riffcentric stoner/doom/metal from Leicestershire. Formed in early 2010 by Ben Aucott (guitar) and Andy Moore (drums), they were subsequently joined by Mark Challis (bass), Tom Smith (vocals) and Woody Woodfield (guitar). Mage released their first EP in 2011.
Ben passed away unexpectedly in 2015. The band made the decision to continue as a four piece, releasing the last songs written with Ben on their 2017 studio album, Green.
In 2024, the circle of five became complete once more, when the band recruited Frazer Hart (Blood Oath, Black River Project) on guitar. They are currently working on their 6th studio release, as well as plans to celebrate their 15th anniversary.
Their stoner roots, fused with doom and eclectic metal and rock influences mean whether you enjoy blazing up and blissing out or knocking some back and getting in the pit, Mage invite you to come and worship at the altar.
Mark, Andy, Frazer, Woody, Tom
