Mägo de Oz, very big, very conflictive: lawsuits, power disputes and a movie that reopens the wounds of the heavy group

Mägo de Oz is considered the largest Spanish heavy metal band. The band has had thousands of attendees at their concerts in Spain and Latin America over three decades and has surpassed other groups in the genre in album sales. Their new album, Malicia: la noche de las brujas (2025), is competing for the best rock album at the Latin Grammys.
