Hailing from Baltimore Maryland, After Forever was founded for the sole purpose of recreating through live performance the music of the legendary Black Sabbath. Comprised of veteran musicians, After Forever celebrates this music with a passion borne through nearly three decades of formal study, influence and outright fanaticism. We then employ gear and amplification that was designed to meet the tonal demands of Black Sabbath themselves.

The use of the word "magic" adds to the enchanting nature of the song and the idea that something special is about to take place. The use of the imperative mood and the repetition of the phrases create a sense of urgency and an active sense of participation.
