GRAND MAGUS – Triumph And Power LP

Description

Now on their seventh album (it really doesn’t feel that long since I saw them supporting Orange Goblin just after releasing their debut!), Grand Magus are 100% ‘eavy metal these days and have settled into a sound that’s gained them a huge army of loyal fans. They’re pretty polished these days, but really powerful sounding with a total 80s sound that nevertheless never sounds willfully “retro”. Total chest-pounding, longboat-rowing stuff! If Priest weren’t quite so prog these days (not a bad thing by the way) they’d sound like this. Excellent art from the man of the moment, Tony Roberts.
