THE PRIZE is the new powerhouse rock band of Maggy Luyten (Vocals, Ayreon, Beautiful Sin, ex-Nightmare, Virus IV), and Christophe Godin (Guitar, ex Gnô), Ivan Rougny (Bass) and Aurel Ouzoulias (Drums, Satan Jokers) from prog jazz metal trio Mörglbl.

​

Maggy and Christophe first met when working on the Epysode album “Obsessions”. Years later, she contacted Godin again to guest on her solo acoustic show “Maggy & Friends” which gave them the idea of starting a duo Akoustik Thrill, a tribute to Hard ‘n Heavy Rock.

​

Bringing in Ivan and Aurel as the rhythm section was the perfect choice.

 

THE PRIZE is the sum of each member’s musical inspirations and influences, creating an eclectic and colorful soundscape, with one mission : bring it to a live audience ! (France, Belgium, Germany, Greece, Poland and Switzerland so far)

​

After 3 video clips (Blood Red Ink, Scarier than You, Backstreet Chronicles) and 1 lyric video (Where Rivers Flow Pt.1), the next one "Funhouse Mirror" will be released June 23rd.

​

The band is working on new songs while presenting the first album on stage with an organically ongrowing fanbase.  Their values : authenticity, energy, humour, joy for life, respect.
