Grand Magus Iron Will (Ice)

Swedish riff-lords Grand Magus return at last with Iron Will, Another full-on metal assault that journeys beyond the course of their last outing, 2005's Wolf's Return, 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. Their sound is a product of that dark, fertile place where doom, rock and heavy metal meet to become something pure. A nine-song essay in timeless, masculine majesty is the sound of a plastic sword being snapped, an idiot being kicked in the face and the rich heritage of true steel reclaimed.
