The Hunt

The Hunt

Swedish riff-lords Grand Magus return with The<br>Hunt, their sixth full-length album and their first album for<br>Nuclear Blast. The Hunt is a full-on metal assault that journeys<br>beyond the course of their last outing, 2010's Hammer<br>of the North, to its inevitable, crushing destination. Drawing<br>hefty influence from the hand-on-heart grandeur of the<br>NWOBHM and the inspirational mythology of their forbears,<br>Grand Magus are steeped in pre-Christian tales of triumph,<br>vengeance, betrayal, romance and death.<br>With a healthy nod to '70s hard rock and stoner<br>rock influences (what the band likes to call doom blues),<br>they build their characteristic-rolling stomp into an all-out<br>battle charge, taking their epic sound to new levels of<br>unshakeable might.
