If you are a fan of good old-fashioned hard rock and heavy metal with an epic feel to it- I’m talking the likes of IRON MAIDEN, JUDAS PRIEST, SAXON, DIO, and MANOWAR- then I have just the band for you: GRAND MAGUS first came to my attention via probably my...

The almighty AMON AMARTH’s latest studio album was released a few days ago. This is their first album without longtime drummer Freidrik Anderssen in something like 17 years- since Once Sent From the Golden Hall, I think. I’m about halfway through the album...
