Swedish riff lords GRAND MAGUS will unleash their new album Triumph And Power in the next few weeks. In anticipation we sat down and asked frontman JB about the themes on the record and here’s what he had to say http://youtu.be/ssBG27oJAIU.
GRAND MAGUS recently made the track “Steel Versus Steel” available for streaming at the following location: http://smarturl.it/GMSteelVsSteel. The track comes from their upcoming seventh studio album Triumph and Power, which is set to be released on January 31 (Europe), February 3 (UK) and February 4, 2014 (N. America) via Nuclear Blast. Fans can also check out the title-track to their new album with an accompanying lyric video here: http://goo.gl/DEm9yq.
Triumph and Power was recorded at Studio Sweetspot in Halmstad, Sweden this past September with producer Nico Elgstrand and engineer Staffan Karlsson (ARCH ENEMY, SPIRITUAL BEGGARS). Artwork was done this time around by Anthony Roberts.
Commented the band: “Triumph And Power has been completed. It's a metal triumph of Viking power! Once again we worked with Nico Elgstrand as producer, a tradition that started with Hammer Of The North back in 2010. This is our strongest album yet. It has the northern feel. It has the power and the melody that has become our mark of excellence. Fans of true metal will take this album to their hearts. To top everything off, we have the striking and epic artwork of Anthony Roberts. The album cover perfectly captures the work on this album and GRAND MAGUS as a band. Stay true!”
