Formed in January 2000, the band had one mission, to play the truest form of heads down southern metal while bringing in the feel of the bands south Louisiana surroundings. 4MAG has gained much recognition by extensive playing and a full spectrum of media coverage. 4MAG is currently played on 175 radio stations and is heard worldwide by XM/SIRIUS satellite radio. 4MAG NITROUS music is also featured on the Discovery Channel's series 'Monster Garage' along with the compilation CD & DVD for both seasons. 4MAG has performed on nationally syndicated music television shows such as ‘Louisiana Jukebox’ & ‘SXSW Music Showcase’.
