Black Magdalene is an organic darkwave ensemble, whose soundscape of haunting middle eastern tones and rhythms luxuriously navigate between dark, atmospheric percussion and beautifully intricate instrumentation.

Based in Eugene Oregon, the group was formed in early Beltane 2011 by Star Wrey of Splendor & the Resistance, Victor St. Petersburg of Defeating the Purpose.

Joining the group for live performances are veteran dancers; Ruby McConnell of The Red Raven Follies and Margarita O'Brien of Hip Service. These enchanting ladies weave an ethereal tribal fusion dance spectacle of original choreography inspired by their interpretation of the music accompanied by Brent McKinney on guitar and Christopher Pfeffer of Ala Nar on Arabic tabla (doumbek).

Black Magdalene is currently recording their first full length album due out November 2012.
