#3 - Top of 2014

Grand Magus- Triumph and Power (Nuclear Blast Records)


The heavy metal band from Sweden is back with "Triumph and Power"! This is the 7th full-length from the Swedish Trio and it picks ups where its predecessor the epic "The Hunt" left off. The album starts its heavy metal engine with an intro of thunder, horses and guitar-bass riffs that constitute the song "On Hooves of Gold", an amazing song leading to "Steel versus Steel" (with a chorus that you are bound to sing along - all day long). The uplifting "Fight" is followed by the heavy riffs of "Triumph and Power" and the aggressive "Dominator", whose highlight are the incredible clean and deep vocals of the band's vocalist, JB Christoffersson. The instrumental "Arv"eases the transition to "Holmgång" and the more speedy "The Naked and The Dead". The album  is wrapped up by the ambient song "Ymer" leading into the epic "The hammer will bite", which is a heavy "typical" Grand Magus song that closes the album in the best way possible, leaving you singing "The Hammer will Bite, no other choice than surrender...Bow to the might, a fiery death from above."
 Grand Magus are uncompromising playing their kind of Epic Heavy Metal and with their new release coming in late May 2016, we are preparing ourselves for another dose of epic awesomeness.
