That would be Grand Magus in a nutshell. A band with clear connections and respect
towards the past, whether we’re talking about the Black Sabbath-like doom of
their first few albums, or about the Iron Maiden-inspired heavy metal of their
current albums, they are definitely a sight for sore eyes (a sound for sore
ears?) in the world of contemporary metal. With a constancy and balance that
few of the lesser known bands have been able to achieve, Grand Magus are like a
train that doesn’t slow down or stop, in their career in general, and on this
album in particular.
