In the 5 years plus since Megaton Leviathan's critically acclaimed album “Mage,” the band has undergone an overhaul. From being signed to “Outrun” label Blood Music and having a wrecking crew sextet of musicians, including Mort Subite(Curzum), Andrea Morgan (The Keening), and John Ried( Lord Dying & Matt Pike VS. The Automaton). Reuscher has taken a long hard look at his roots and what he set out to do with the project.

Now completely independent on Reuscher's own Volatile Rock Recordings, with maximum Doomgaze and minimalist approach embracing change and employing his love for things gritty, CVLT, and mind-altering. With a new lineup, in a new town (Astoria Or.) consisting of a power trio, pounding out primitive, subversive, and psychedelic Doompop hooks before Re committing to the ecstasy of becoming once again, half machine.

Perhaps this is forever, just in the moment. What it isn't is contrived. The Magick Helmet is demanding of the listener pushing them to their limits. Armed to the teeth with face-melting fuzz and Godzilla delays courtesy of the Doomgazer Pedal ( a collaboration between Emmergy Effects UK and Megaton Leviathan ) it is an album you don't just listen to in enjoyment but also endure. Begging the question Who is this rhythm section extemporaneously pulsing deep within the thrall of the Megaton Leviathan

Outside inside, Dawn the Magick Helmet and take her for a ride. An instrumental album recorded By Megaton Leviathan mastermind and founding member, Reuscher in his Psychedelic Inner Fortress studios. It is available free on the band website and band camp, for the friends, fans, and supporters of Megaton Leviathan. Thank you.

Mage sees the band experimenting with the likes of post-punk, darkwave, krautrock, and a continuation of the orchestral, rock and synth driven scores of John Carpenter and Goblin. Recorded entirely in house, self produced by Reuscher, Subite, and the band, mixed by Past 21 veteran Mort Subite (Curezum, Chrome, Alfheimr), and mastered by Billy Anderson, featuring guest appearances from industrial rock godfather Helios Creed (Chrome; additional guitar on Take the Fire), and Adam Stacey (Estradasphere; piano on a haunting cover of Eno and Cluster’s The Belldog), Mage is Megaton Leviathans most complete work to date,
