Magion was a symphonic metal ensemble originating from The Hague, Netherlands, active between 2005 and 2014. Throughout their career, they produced two full-length albums, an extended play, and a pair of demo recordings. The group shared the stage with notable bands such as Epica, Delain, Trail of Tears, and Jorn. Their album Close to Eternity underwent mastering by the Swedish musician and producer Dan Swanö. The band experienced a gradual rise in recognition, culminating in late 2013 with the release of their sophomore album, A Different Shade of Darkness. This release garnered media coverage and secured them a spot at the 11th annual Metal Female Voices Fest held in Belgium. Internal conflicts led to Magion's dissolution in the spring of 2014.
