Marker Beacon: Modern heavy metal.

Marker Beacon is a french melodic heavy metal band formed in 2000 and composed of Bruno Creuzet (guitar and vocals), Miguel Diaz (drums), Olivier Matz (guitar) and Jérôme Thiébaut (bass guitar).

All the members are classically trained, and have been together since high school. The main influences of Marker Beacon are Metallica and Iron Maiden although other bands from different styles from rock to extreme metal also inspired their music. With powerful riffs, carefully elaborated melodies and technical guitar solos, Marker Beacon stays in the tradition of heavy metal bands while adding a touch of modernity.

In 2012, Marker Beacon became a non-profit organization that campaigns for free culture. The first album "Dead Frequencies" took over 2 years and is released under the Creative Commons BY-SA 3.0 license but as a Magnatune member you can of course download it here!

You can find about more about the band on their website.
