[ARTICLE] Pre-orders Have Their Benefits! Go On A Holiday With MP To Ishigaki Island

Reporter OOO／Reporting from Taiwan

After one year and eight months of working tirelessly and producing music, Magic Power will be releasing their fourth original self-composed album "God of War" on 8/19. Focusing on Mandarin EDM (Electronic Dance Music) to expand their vision, they will reproduce the vibrant nature of futuristic dance music in their album. Implementing their firm belief in ten-thousands of people dancing along to their music, they will once again show their skills of how they're able to rapidly warm up the crowd, as the leading electronic-rock band.

Because Magic Power's single "Hou/Roar" was chosen as the theme song of Coca Cola's《2015 Future Edition Bottle》event, fans were given an exclusive preview of the song in May. But as they couldn't stand the wait for the official MV, they used a segment of the web trailer for the movie《Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes》and paired it with "Hou/Roar" to create their own MV to the song and circulated it on the internet, causing many fans to exclaim, "It fits so well! It's almost like the theme song of the movie!" Who knew that this would create a storm on the internet? MP also felt that their fans were really creative as this video actually totally brought out the original meaning of the song. MP hopes that in the future, they would be able to work with international studios, meticulously creating and designing the soundtrack for movies. MP will also be introducing the "Battle Dance", which was inspired by the body languages of apes when they are angered, and will be using this dance to gather ten-thousands of people to dance along with them to the song "Hou/Roar".

MP's new album was also specially sent to England to be mixed, having invited Pete Martin, the mixing engineer that the Black Eyed Peas & Sean Combs (P.Diddy) employ as well, for a transnational collaboration that further enhanced the electronic dance music feel of the entire album. The album will be released during the summer break because MP wants their fans to feel that listening to the new album is as fun as playing video games or multi-player online games!

As for their new concept, they will be "futuristic warriors" with a military uniform style, which matches their tough and explosive electronic dance music style. And in order to create this "Iron Man tough guy" image, their outfits use many futuristic elements, such as metal details, leather, plastic details and feathers etc, specially customising these unique materials. But wearing such clothes in the high temperatures of summer means that when MP is taking photos or filming an MV, it's like as if they're in a sauna - even if they don't move, the six of them will still sweat profusely. Also, in order to get his ideal hair colour for his new hairstyle, DJ Googoo endured the pain on his scalp, consecutively bleaching his hair two times and dying his hair three times to get what he wanted.

Pre-orders for Magic Power's fourth original self-composed album《God of War》will start on 7/23 and [the album will be] officially released on 8/19. As long as you pre-order the album, you will receive the 「Really Great」Magic Ape Planet keyring (it'll come bundled with the album), as well as a chance to enter the draw for a 「3D2N holiday to Ishigaki Island」, which would be a chance to spend 9/3~9/5 together with Magic Power on a 3D2N holiday.
