Formed in Stockholm in 1996 by Janne “JB” Christoffersson and Mats “Fox” Skinner, Grand Magus have already managed to leave an indelible mark on heavy metal history with a number of classic songs.
Their self-titled debut album was released in 2001 and started to stir up the metal underground with its perfect combination of stoner rock and doom metal. Over time, however, Grand Magus introduced elements of classic metal that, combined with their inherent groove, became the band’s signature sound as showcased on flawless albums like “Monument” and “Wolf’s Return” (2005).
Their breakthrough came a little later with the release of the critically acclaimed “Iron Will” (2008), which propelled them to the forefront of the metal scene and touring with legendary acts such as Electric Wizard and Cathedral. The release of “Hammer of the North” continued this momentum, as did their explosive live shows, that led them to the world’s biggest metal festivals.
