The year 1991 saw Magellan releasing their first album, Hour of Restoration. Trent Gardner was the principal songwriter on the disc, and his style did a great job of encompassing the new spirit of progressive rock. It was probably closest to the 1970’s era of prog, staying very true to that format, but still managed to pull in a lot of the newer harder edge. It was also the first recording on the brand new label, Magna Carta Records, a label that had become known at the time as the home of the modern age of progressive rock. Trent Gardner quickly became a founding anchor of the label, working on many projects for them. Working together they truly were part of a catalyst to the revitalization of progressive rock that we have seen since that time. Magellan’s second album, Impending Ascension became the third release on the label and became one of the quintessential “prog” albums of 1994.

1995 and 1996 was the 'dark period of tribute albums', according to Trent.

Eventually, 1997 saw the release of Magellan’s next disc, Test of Wills, and it was a major departure from the first two albums. Coming out on May 6 of that year, the CD, while still maintaining many of the elements that had been present on the first two Magellan albums, almost completely abandoned the classic prog leanings in favor of the harder edged, newer prog.

2002 saw the release of both the second Explorer’s Club album and the fourth Magellan album.

First up was Raising the Mammoth, the Explorer's Club project. The musicians who performed on that release included two holdovers from the first CD in the persons of Terry Bozzio and James LaBrie. Steve Walsh was recruited this time, as was his Kansas band mate Kerry Livgren. LaBrie’s Dream Theater partner John Myung provided bass this time out, and Mark Robertson of Cairo was also onboard. There were a couple notable metal musicians on hand, too. They were Gary Wehrkamp of Shadow Gallery and Marty Friedman of Megadeth fame.

Next is Magellan’s Hundred Year Flood which certainly stands amongst the best of their work. The key piece of the disc is a 35-minute opus that is arguably one of their finest. They weren’t content to sit with just that, though, enlisting Ian Anderson on one the album’s other tracks and Tony Levin on the final one. The result is one of the best discs the band has produced thus far. The album is a tribute to older brother Jack, who was killed in Vietnam in 1966.

2003 has been a milestone year for the band, officially leaving Magna Carta and joining new label Inside Out Music in September 2003.

Magellan released "Impossible figures".

Next album 2005 "Symphony for a misanthrope".
