Majesty
Biography
With a name that left very little to the imagination, Majesty was a German heavy metal band with power metal tendencies and a pronounced affinity for Manowar, which was formed in the late '90s by singer/keyboardist/guitarist Tarek Maghary. Based in the town of Lauda, situated halfway between Frankfurt and Stuttgart, Majesty's most stable early lineup consisted of Maghary, guitarist Udo Keppner, keyboardist Markus Pruszydlo (soon to be replaced by Andy Moll), bassist Martin Hehn, and teenage drummer Ingo Zadravec, which recorded a pair of demos in 1998 and 1999, before financing their own full-length debut album, Keep It True, in the year 2000. Although anything but stylistically original, the album's earnest glorification of all things metal drew mostly positive reviews from the metal press, eventually rewarding the group with a guest slot on the 2001 Bang Your Head Festival, in Balingen, and resulting in a contract with Massacre Records soon after. There followed a string of unwaveringly "true" metal long-players, including 2002's Swords and Sorcery (introducing new drummer Michael Gräter, and featuring a guest solo from former Manowar guitarist Ross the Boss), 2003's Reign in Glory (where second guitarist Rolf Munkes joined the fold), and 2004's somewhat premature double live album, Metal Law (recorded sans the departed Keppner and Hehn, the latter being replaced by new bassist Marcus Bielenberg).
