Swedish riff-lords Grand Magus return with 'The Hunt', their sixth full-length album and their first album for Nuclear Blast.
'The Hunt' is a full-on metal assault that journeys beyond the course of their last outing, 2010's Hammer of the North, to its inevitable, crushing destination. Drawing hefty influence from the hand-on-heart grandeur of the NWOBHM and the inspirational mythology of their forbears, Grand Magus are steeped in pre-Christian tales of triumph, vengeance, betrayal, romance and death. With a healthy nod to 70s hard rock and stoner rock influences (what the band likes to call doom blues), they build their characteristic-rolling stomp into an all-out battle charge, takin their epic sound to new levels of unshakeable might.
Limited 2LP silver vinyl pressing.
