Magtens Korridorer is a Danish rock band from Copenhagen .
history
The band was formed in 1995 by students from the University of Copenhagen . The band name became the Danish title of the novel Corridors of Power by Charles Percy Snow . A year after the band was founded, the band released a demo with which the musicians caused a stir. The song Hestevisen in particular was played very often on Danish national radio . Despite this success, the musicians were not offered a record deal. It was not until 1998 that Magten's corridors released their debut album Bagsiden af medaljen , which was unable to build on the success of the demo.
The band only got back together in 2003 and released the album Friværdi two years later . The musicians won the career cannons talent competition and the album reached number eleven in the Danish album charts. Friværdi was awarded platinum . A year later the band opened the Roskilde Festival . At the Danish Music Awards , Magtens Korridorer was recognized as the best new band. In 2007 the third album Det krøllede håb was released, which reached number two on the Danish album charts and also went platinum. The albums Milan Allé , Imperiet falder and Før alting bliver nat followed in 2009, 2011 and 2014.
