Genus Ordinis Dei & Roy Khan share new single 'Sweet Magick' • GRIMM Gent

Genus Ordinis Dei proudly announced the release of Sweet Magick, a powerful new single featuring the unmistakable voice of Roy Khan. The track was made available worldwide on Friday, December 19, marking a pivotal moment in the unfolding narrative of the band’s upcoming concept album, The Land East of Eden.

Sweet Magick represents a unique convergence of artistic worlds. Dark, seductive, and deeply narrative, the song explores temptation, beauty, and damnation within the mythological framework that defines The Land East of Eden. Musically, it balances shadow-laden atmospheres, heavy modern riffing, and an evocative melodic core, acting as a bridge between worlds, eras, and souls.

Nick K comments:

“Having Roy Khan on ‘Sweet Magick’ was a dream come true. His voice lent depth and authenticity to this character, elevating the song beyond what we had imagined. This track is temptation, beauty, and damnation wrapped into one moment of the story.”

Roy Khan adds:

“Working with Genus Ordinis Dei was a very inspiring experience. Their vision is strong and dark yet beautiful, and the songs are deeply narrative. ‘Sweet Magick’ immediately spoke to me. I enjoyed exploring this character and being part of such an ambitious and atmospheric project.”

Tommy shares:

“Having your favourite singer ever in one of your songs is a privilege that a few musicians have had. I am one of them, and I’m proud to share this luck with Nick, Nico, and all of our fans. Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Mr. Roy Khan!”

Lyrically and conceptually, “Sweet Magick” deepens the lore of The Land East of Eden, an opera built on myth, blood, and memory. As one of its key chapters, the song echoes ancient voices and primeval truths: “The longest memory. I speak of the First Time, of the most ancient Father.”

With this release, Genus Ordinis Dei take another decisive step toward the full unveiling of their ambitious new album, while honoring a collaboration born from mutual respect and shared vision.

Genus Ordinis Dei extend their gratitude to Roy Khan for walking this path with them and to all listeners who choose to become part of this journey.
