Six Magics

Six Magics is a Chilean metal group formed initially by Pablo Stagnaro, Erick Ávila, Nicolás Espinoza, Juan Pablo Pizarro and Sergio Villarroel. At first, Erick Ávila composed the music while Juan Pablo Pizarro and Sergio Villarroel wrote the lyrics. Their songs were originally all in Spanish. After a year, in 1996, in the recording studios of Balmaceda Arte Joven, they recorded four songs for the EP Trilogía de un guerrero (Trilogy of a Warrior). In 1998, Juan Pablo Pizarro decided to move to France. Six Magics brought on a new bassist, Rodolfo Sánchez. In 1999, Sergio Domínguez entered as a new vocalist and Sebastián Carrasco entered as a keyboardist. With these changes, Six Magics began to compose the lyrics in English and worked to the goal of creating a professional album. While they were working in their first professional production, they were offered the opportunity to be the opening act for the Finn band Nightwish in July 2000. In 2001, they played as the opener for Italian band Rhapsody.
