The founders were Oguz and Serhat two friends. who decided on a new genre after their heavy metal group “ ARKUN” dissolved. Though not very sorry for their loss, they decided to create their own melancholic, atmospheric “doom” style. Ex “False in truth” member Yigitkan has also been playing with them since Magilum started it’s voyage in their ancient, cataclystic sea. Finally Dincer joined the band as their “brand new” Guitar player. The team was complete. “Magilum” means “ship of the dead” in sumerian mythology, the boat in which the deceased person is placed and left into the sea…. The band has a pessimistic, darkening sound, depressive and melodic in nature, with partly agressive, harsh and partly clean vocals. Magilum is singing in it’s native turkish tongue, never losing it’s grip on their rhtym. The band has an melodic way of playing guitar, occasionaly using keyboards, violin and synths. When they first started they used to be an “extreme doom black” band, with complex guitar riffs, densely using keyboard beneath their melodic, english brutal vocals. Distancing themselves from their old genre in time, they reached their current dense and bare sound which subsequently lead them to the idea of singing in their mother tongue… Their first “semi-professional” single record “Amatory” was recorded in 2003. During this Era, Oguz (lead guitars / Vocals ) prepared an animation video for their single. The band was trying to prepare a 3 song + 1 video interactive CD Project which unfortunately was disrupted because of Oguz and Dincers military service intervention. The band recorded a 3 song mini cd demo the same year, consisting of Ancient Sea, I would deny and Amatory. Unfortunately… this demo was also never released.

Masallar ülkesinde her masal mutlu biter, sonsuza kadar mutlu yaşar insanlar
Söylemiştim ben burda olmaz, masal yaşanmaz, mutlu bitmez!

Masallara inandırdığın gibi inandırsaydın beni yine
Bir anlık bir şey değil diye
Devam eder miydi
Kırıldı kanatlarım, gittiii...

Bulutların üstünde oturan iki melek
Hatırlar mısın bilmem yeşil ve mavi
Ufukta buluşup, sevişir, tek renk olur...
Masal böyle güzel olur.

Masallara inandırdığın gibi inandırsaydın beni yine
Bir anlık bir şey değil diye

Devam eder miydi
Kırıldı kanatlarım, gittiii...

Overall Meaning

The song "Masal" by Magilum talks about the belief in fairy tales and how they always have happy endings. The lyrics suggest that the people in the land of fairy tales live happily ever after. The singer, however, believes that fairy tales don't exist in reality and that one cannot have a happy ending in life. The chorus talks about the singer's broken wings and how they've flown away because their belief in fairy tales led to disappointment.

The second verse of the song talks about two angels who sit on the clouds and remembers how they met and fell in love. They come together and become one color, green and blue. The last line of the verse states that this is how a beautiful story should be.

The song can be interpreted in many ways but one of the themes that stands out is the notion that life is not a fairy tale and that happy endings do not always exist. It's a warning to not place too much hope in the idea of a perfect life because it can lead to disappointment. Overall, the song is a beautiful reflection on the power of storytelling and how it shapes our understanding of the world.
