Gaia III: Atlantia

Gaia III: Atlantia is the tenth album by the folk metal band Mägo de Oz. It will be the third installment of the trilogy "Gaia" which began in 2003 with Gaia and continued in 2005 with Gaia II: La Voz Dormida. It was released worldwide on 6 April 2010.

On Saturday 27 of February there was a hearing solely for their new album: Gaia III: Atlantia, and their latest video: "Que el Viento Sople a Tu Favor".^[1] It was anticipated the release of "Que el Viento Sople a Tu Favor" for March 30.

Gaia boxset

According to an interview of Txus to Mariskal Rock on the web, the trilogy will be sold in a pack deluxe simply called "Gaia" which contain the 3 albums (Gaia, Gaia II: La Voz Dormida and Gaia III: Atlantia), plus 8 bonus tracks that could not be included in the 3 discs (2 in Gaia for not wanting to do a double disc, 3 with Gaia II: La Voz Dormida because BigSimon said it was too much and 3 for Gaia III: Atlantia for lack of time). So enjoy this year's total of 24 new songs.

Anticipated 2010 tour

The name of the tour will be "Agaiate Que Vienen Curvas Tour 2010" and will focus only on Gaia III: Atlantia. For next year, he foresees a new tour focused on the entire trilogy. Furthermore, according to Txus statement, after Gaia III: Atlantia, the band will take a break from work. Which, he noted the same Txus, does not mean that the group will break up or anything like that. Only Gaia III: Atlantia is the closure of a long period of the band, so a break will be given indefinitely. Maybe they will return with an album much easier and simpler than the Gaia trilogy. In addition, you may not follow the line of a concept album or novel. The band will try some rawer songs, without following the pattern of a story.
