魔法时代(Mage Era)，一支大马本土的中文摇滚乐团，由四个对未来充满不安感，却对音乐充满热诚的男生组织而成。魔法时代的歌曲多变，小振奋，小复杂，或小忧伤，绝对称不上朗朗上口，听过他们歌曲的人意见参差不一，或说他们曲风偏日系，英伦系，或美式。
虽然如此，他们在大马乐团界也算是小有名气，魔法时代的摇滚爆发力，多姿多彩的音乐风格，吸引不少非主流人士的最爱。从作词作曲，编曲，录音到制作，全都由他们一手包办，绝对是大马最独特，最有性格的声音。他们不奢望每个人都会喜欢，但只要你是同道，相信只会让你比起其他声音，更加的有共鸣。
Once upon a time....
It all started during sorcery college times when a young apprentice Moon was looking forward to build a flying magic ship. This ship however, is not rare or special in any kind. It is an average common magic ship. It carries dreams and treasure, freedom and burden, it pours hope and despair, and it takes you to where you (think you) belong. It maybe just a small dream to live, but it was never easy.
According to wizard history, many failed and quitted, while some died trying.
Like any other time consuming spell, he couldn't do it all on his own. He formed a union with others who share the same idea but possess different abilities. It was first formed in Jan 17th 2004. Since then, this "magic ship" is in construction. Moon named the ship, Mage.
Slowly learning, building, evolving, Mage Era is still actively pursuing and is presently consist of 4 active spell casters:

Roots in the waste land
Mage Era started playing in college shows, prom nights, and some gigs. Few of them are just ok; others are just too empty to be considered as a gig, not to mention some are an EP launch. It’s a dead waste land they’re living in. Trees don’t grow here.
For better or worst, during that time their works can’t fit in nicely to any of the underground trend. “Why don’t we call the shots?”, slowly a new trend popping in the waste land. Moon decided to organize a series of on-going gig shows dedicated to Mage Era’s music roots, thus borne “J-rock Kingdom”. It then somehow gathered a number of audiences and friends along the way with their passion and captivating live performance.
Since then, Mage Era realized something is going on.
The Mage Era's style
Mage Era’s genre range from soft ballad to experimental, presented in a dark-visual image and gloomy manner, sarcasmly integrate with enchanted bliss in contrast. The band spell-crafted their works in mysterious way to indirectly express themselves, hoping to leaves trail along their journey by offer this gift, to whom ever wish to take. Their works is in both English and Chinese.
Mage Era will always have fun building the ship, and value the joy of sharing it with the people.
