Grand Magus Begin Work on New Album

Swedish heavy metal outfit Grand Magus are in the studio working on a new album.

The Stockholm trio have been riding the success of their critically acclaimed 2012 record ‘The Hunt’, but after months of touring they’ve decided to hit the studio once again and work on its follow-up. 

Nico Elgstrand and Staffan Karlsson have been hired to take care of the engineering and production, and drummer Ludwig ‘Ludde’ Witt couldn’t be more excited. He said:

"The time has come! Warriors! Things have been quiet around here recently, you know us well enough to know that we haven't been sitting around idly though... We have finished writing our new album and we enter the studio!!! Monday September 2 marks the start of our new journey. The result will be something to behold. That is a promise. You want something heavy? You'll get it. This will be our strongest album to date.” 

The rest of the band are happy to be back working again too - check out what they had to say:

“The MAGUS have been busy bees with an elaborate pre-production phase, meaning that we have demoed all the tracks and it certainly pays off now. The recordings proper started off this Monday and we already have some killer basic tracks brewing. We are working simultaneously on several tracks to ensure flow and proper impact. It feels like it’s going to be something extremely powerful this time... 

“The drums are killer and with the perfect touch we've learned to expect from Ludwig, there will be a wall of ferocious guitars and grinding bass guitar that will shake the bowels. Among other things we worked today on HOLMGÅNG which has a lot of riffing going on and we think the guitar sound is the best we’ve ever had on a recording. Pure power!“
