Band Line Up 2024
GRAND MAGUS was founded
in 1996 and worked under the banner of SMACK
until the band changed its name. In their over 20 year career, the band from
Stockholm, Sweden, has been eternalized in Metal history and looks back on a
treasury full of all-time Heavy Metal anthems. Their self-titled debut album Grand Magus (2001) started to stir up
the underground and is now considered to be a cult favourite. At that time,
they played Doom Metal/Stoner Rock in the way it's meant to be. But over the
years, GRAND MAGUS introduced a
penchant for classic Heavy Metal which combined with their inherent groove
became the band’s signature sound – the first signs of this can be found on Monument (2003) and Wolf’s Return (2005). Yet the
breakthrough was their 2008 work Iron
Will that took the fans' heart by storm. In addition to the countless live
shows, including a tour with legends ELECTRIC
WIZARD and CATHEDRAL, it played
a key part in the bands prominent rise to the forefront of the genre. Hammer Of the North (2010) continued
with this momentum and the band toured with other scene legends: MOTÖRHEAD and Doro Pesch. The entry into the German album charts was inevitable.
The same can be said for the three records that followed The Hunt (2012), Triumph and
Power« (2014) and Sword Songs (2016)
– all albums that belong in any great record collection. It is safe to say that
the same can be said for GRAND MAGUS’s
latest opus Wolf God.
