Everybody loves to throw a fist in the air, but how much more satisfying is it if you have cause to lower it in the form of a humungous pulldown? 

Hailing from Bergen, Norway, hard rock power trio Magick Touch know the deep joy of a boogie-laced riff, the eternal resonance of phrases such as ‘All night long’ and the throbbing bass/drum hit combo that lets you know an AC/DC song is uncoiling – all guaranteed to give your arms an involuntary workout.

A third album, self-evidently titled Heads Have Got To Rock'N'Roll, is out in the middle of this year through Edged Circle Productions – the label run by former Immortal/Necrophagia bassist and Dead To This World head honcho Iscariah. 

Magick Touch are gearing up in the only way they know how; rocking out with the perfect mix of retro-infatuation, in-the-moment wonder and riffs that carry a torch like beacons lit up across Middle Earth.

All this comes in the form of a video for the track To The Limit, shot live to reveal the sheer joy, camaraderie and questionable taste in trousers to full effect – and we have an exclusive stream right here.

If you love Kadavar when they sounded happy, the swagger of A-Grade Nazareth, stubbornly and gloriously out of time haircuts, the total absence of shame, and a bunch of guys obliviously going for glory, rejoice in To The Limit below!

Jonathan Selzer

Having freelanced regularly for the Melody Maker and Kerrang!, and edited the extreme metal monthly, Terrorizer, for seven years, Jonathan is now the overseer of all the album and live reviews in Metal Hammer. Bemoans his obsolete superpower of being invisible to Routemaster bus conductors, finds men without sideburns slightly circumspect, and thinks songs that aren’t about Satan, swords or witches are a bit silly.
