comment
 Mägo de Oz is a Spanish Folk Metal band formed in 1988. It used to be known for the strong Celtic feel to their music, strengthened through their consistent usage of a violinist and flautist, but they have proved to be quite an eclectic band with a wide array of influences. The name for the band was chosen, according to founding member Txus, because "life is a yellow brick road, on which we walk in the company of others searching for our dreams." But don't be afraid, because their music is often much (and we say much) less cheesy.They are known for their anti-Christianity, love for Satanist and pagan lore, political irreverence, and penchant for self-parody. Most of their albums are of the Rock Opera type and tell elaborate, often bizarre stories revolving the motifs mentioned above.Once known as one of the greatest exponents of the metal scene in Spain, they are now easily one of their most divisive bands. The main reasons are their regular stylistic evolution (which has driven them away from their Folk/Celtic roots and into genres as varied as Heavy Metal, Power Metal, Gothic Metal and Industrial Metal in music and aesthetics), their explicit embracement of commerciality (generally considered a huge no-no among metal fans, even if earned) and their pandering to mainstream media (to the extent of expressing their wish to represent Spain at the Eurovision Song Contest, which was unheard of there for a Spanish band of their kind). Despite all of this, they are still a greatly successful band with an array of Gold and Diamond Discs and a solid place in the Hispanosphere.Aside from their activities in Mägo, its leader Txus di Fellatio, second singer Patricia Tapia, and guitar Manuel Seonae, have all their own bands, Bürdel King, KHY, and Delalma, respectively. The band has also mentored melodic folk band Celtian, led by former member Diego Palacio, and symphonic metal band Débler, of which Txus was a producer.See also Barón Rojo, another influential Spanish Metal band from The '80s and possibly one of the inspirations for this band.Not to be confused with Mago, a video game.

 Deal with the Devil
 Mägo de Oz (Music) / int_1fc8335e
comment
 Deal with the Devil: Almost every major album contains one song about a deal with the devil (note that both "deal" and "devil" can take several forms here) or about evil trying to entice the listener. The most famous ones are "Astaroth", "Diabulus in Musica", "El violín del diablo", "Satanael", "Cadaveria" and "El amor brujo".

 Ominous Latin Chanting

comment
 Ominous Latin Chanting: "Dies Irae" has the quote "Dies Irae Malleus Malleficarum Est" repeated as a chorus. It is unclear if it pretends to be fake Latin babble or if it is exactly what it means ("The Malleus Maleficarum is the day of wrath").

 Contrasting Sequel Main Character
 Mägo de Oz (Music) / int_517d2eb8
comment
 Contrasting Sequel Main Character: The band's most known vocalist, José, was a screaming showman that sang for party and life. His replacement, Zeta, is a spiritual chamber musician who sings with a broken heart. This change, naturally, caused endless division.

 Metal Scream: They were José Andrëa's (and less Zeta's) signature. The song "Gaia" in special features a spine-chilling metal screaming version of a Big "NO!".

 Gaia's Vengeance: One of the themes present in the Gaia trilogy, to the point that a song whose title literally translates to "Gaia's Vengeance" was the closer of the first Gaia album.

 Nature Metal: The band has many songs (and even Concept Albums, the Gaia trilogy) that have natural themes in their songs, especially referent to Gaia's Lament and Gaia's Vengeance (the latter even it's Title Drop for one one song of them).
