The Hunt

Swedish riff-lords Grand Magus return with The
Hunt, their sixth full-length album and their first album for
Nuclear Blast. The Hunt is a full-on metal assault that journeys
beyond the course of their last outing, 2010's Hammer
of the North, 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.
With a healthy nod to '70s hard rock and stoner
rock influences (what the band likes to call doom blues),
they build their characteristic-rolling stomp into an all-out
battle charge, taking their epic sound to new levels of
unshakeable might.
