Band`s songs are influenced by groups like Manowar , Iron Maiden or Judas Priest because Majesty have always listened to their music. The Band MAJESTY was formed in the summer of 1997 by Tarek "Metal-son" Maghary (Guitars/Keyboards/Vocals) and Udo Keppner (Guitars). The two musicians , both 18 years old at that time , knew each other for many years and they both wanted to show the puplic , what their passion is : Heavy Metal!! Only a few weeks later they found a suitiable drummer for the band , called Ingo Zadravec (16 years old at that point) who also was responsible for the logo and all the artworks of the band (also the Cover of the CD "Keep it true"). Soon the musicians realiced , that the songs of Tarek "MS" Maghary would even sound better if they would be undermined with keaboard-sounds , so they had to find a keyboarder as soon as possible because the first Live-gigs were on their way. And they found one , Markus Pruszydlo became the keyboarder of MAJESTY. But it was already clear at that time , that the keyboard would never be a solo-instrument , it`s only job is , to give the songs an epic touch as a rhythm-instrument ; because one thing will always be the most important issue for MAJESTY : loud and wild Heavy Metal !!! Soon after that , the band decided to record a little Demo-tape on the 8track Cassette Recorder of Tarek. Because of that and the forthcomming Live gigs , they had to find a bass-player now. Martin Hehn who played guitar with a Cover-Rockband called "Gatecrash" at that time offered himself to help out on the bass. After he recorded the Demo and played the first Livegigs , he felt the magic of the band and their songs too and became a permanent member of MAJESTY. Allot of Livegigs followed and in the winter of 1998 the band recorded another Demo on the 8Tracker , which , allthough it had a low sound quality , sold very well on their Livegigs. In spring of 1999 Markus left the band , because he was not into the music as much as the others anymore. Andreas Moll , who played in a band called "Wild Magics" at that time , replaced him and became the new Keyboarder. At the end of 1999 Tarek decided to club together all his money to go into a studio to professionally produce his compositions. So MAJESTY recorded their first professional CD called "Keep it true" at the "House of Audio-Studio" in Karlsdorf , Germany. MAJESTY has signed a record deal with Irond Records - and "Keep it true" out now in Russia! After the CD was recorded Ingo Zadravec unexpectedly left the band and was replaced by Michael Grater , a perfect drummer for MAJESTY , in a technical and musical way. MAJESTY recorded a song for the MANOWAR Tribute Sampler, which will be released in march 2002. Now, in February 2002, MAJESTY has signed a record deal with MASSACRE Records. The band will enter the studio in april and a new album entitled "Sword And Sorcery". The Release Date for the new MAJESTY Album "Sword And Sorcery" is scheduled for the 24th of June 2002. The Coverartwork will be from Ken Kelly (MANOWAR/KISS etc.) After the Release of the new Album there will be a big Release party which will take place on the 12th of july in Kupprichhausen(Germany-between Wuerzburg and Heilbronn). It will be an Open Air Concert, so a big Metal Party should be guaranteed!!! Germany Tour 2002 with VANIZE, CYBERYA and MAJESTY will take place from 02-01-2002 to 04-06-2002!
