Grand Magus – Sword Songs (Nuclear Blast)

Seriously big riffage and chest puffing vocals from the Scandinavian metallers, along with lots of references to swords, warriors, fire and all manner of things Nordic. It’s very much in keeping with the bands previous output, so if that makes your broadsword tremble then this will probably do the same. Always a pleasure, never a chore. As the saying goes.  Ian Pickens
