Grand Magus - The Hunt (Nuclear Blast)
Grand Magus is a Swedish band that keeps re-inventing their music at each album without losing the Heavy Metal element! The band started with a doom sound in their initial releases and has been steadily moving towards more heavy riffs and infectious choruses creating anthemic songs while maintaining mentions to their Viking heritage! This influence is evident in songs such as "Valhalla Rising"and "Draksådd", as well as one of the best moments of the album "Son of the Last Breath", which highlights the amazing baritone voice of vocalist/ guitarist JB Christoffersson!! Kicking off with "Starlight Slaughter", a hooky but heavy intro to the record that is representative of what Grand Magus are good at, creating powerful songs and Viking-themed albums that are bound to stick to your mind! JB plays a major part in Grand Magus' achievements as he is a gifted lead singer, guitarist and song writer! He is of course accompanied by the amazing bassist Fox Skinner (who has been in Grand Magus since the beginning) and drummer Ludwig Witt (from Spiritual Beggars, who joined the band for this album)! "The Hunt" is a solid album with no weak moment, making one of the top records of 2012!
