Album Description Finally, the debut album from these Swedish Metal Masters is available once more. Since it's release, Grand Magus have earned the reputation as being one of the convincingly heavy bands around at the moment. Vocalist, JB, has since earned global success outside of the band with his role as lead vocalist of Spiritual Beggars, the band masterminded by Mike Amott, Archenemy, Carcass etc. He was recently listed as 8th best Metal vocalist in the world, according to the readers of BURRN! Magazine, Japan. The music on this record takes us back to the very origins of the bands initial style, which was a lot more hard rock and heavy blues influenced. Whilst the band have maintained, and indeed expanded on the Doom elements to their sound, the overall approach these days is absolute sledgehammer metal. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsStoner/Doom Masterpiece! Maya Rish | Switzerland | 09/30/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "Any fan of the genre SHOULD own this album, there's no way around it! It has all the right ingredients, great riffs, absolutely awesome vocals and all around heavy attitude!!" Have you ever heard these guys? beast of the sausage meat | 09/24/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "I hadn't, until they came up on the recommendations list, but after reviewing the album art (huge beards can never be bad) and the samples, I had to listen to this. I'm not disappointed.
The noise these guys seem to be shooting for is one of a largely "stoner rock" kind of bass-driven and somewhat melodic underpinning largely riff-driven rock. Nothing special, you might think, but it is the guitar/vocalist that makes this CD exceptional. There are enough "air guitar" moments to satisfy any cravings you might have, and the riffs are also catchy enough to maintain ones interest. That Grand Magus aren't bigger is a huge surprise. One other thing that people seem to comment on that I agree with are their thoughts on the vocalists voice - he really does sing. Not growling, or howling; but singing. And it works! It really does. I've not as yet got any other CD's by this group, but rest assured I will. Go on, give it a listen. You'll not regret it." |
