History

The band's original lineup was Ken Tamplin, Lanny Cordola, Chuck Wright, and Ken Mary. After the first album Ken Tamplin departed and Phillip Bardowell took over vocal duties. Brian Bromberg was the Bass player on the original studio project.

Magdallan's lineup led to the group being referred to as a supergroup. Ken Tamplin was well known for his work in Shout. Larry Cordola, Chuck Wright, Ken Mary were previously well known for being members of the group House of Lords.

Big Bang

The band's first release, Big Bang, was notable as one of the most expensive Christian albums produced by that time, with a budget reported as being $250,000,[1] and the album faced some criticism for being overproduced. Nevertheless, Big Bang was nominated for one GMA Dove Award for Best Metal/Hard Rock Album in 1992,[2] but did not win.

Ken Tamplin's Departure

After the first album Ken Tamplin left the band. Tamplin commented that he felt the need for a fresh start after he learned that Intense Records had planned to shelve the Big Bang album after two years of hard work.[3] After Ken's departure, the studio project of Magdallan was turned into a full band and thus the name was changed from Magdallan to Magdalen.

Name Change

After Ken Tamplin left the band, the name was changed to Magdalen for the second release Revolution Mind and The Dirt EP. In 1999 End of the Age was released under the old name spelling. The significance of the name change is signification of the difference between the studio project and the band. Magdallan is the name of the studio project, and Magdalen is the name of the band that continued after Ken Tamplins departure.
