Swedish riff-lords Grand Magus 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, taking their epic sound to new levels of unshakeable might.
