Grand Magus announce new album ‘Sunraven’
GRAND MAGUS have announced a new album!
Titled Sunraven, the upcoming album from the Swedish heavy metal band is the follow-up to 2019’s Wolf God, and is scheduled to be released in October this year, via Nuclear Blast Records.
The upcoming album conceptually deals with the legendary poem Beowulf, an ancient tale of epic proportions about heroes and monsters, honor and bravery, victory and defeat.
Alongside the announcement of the new album, GRAND MAGUS have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Skybound.
Speaking about the new song, vocalist/guitarist JB says, “Skybound is obviously a song about death and going to Valhalla. That’s where Beowulf ended up in the end, because after he defeated Grendel and Grendel’s mother, he was king for 50 years! Then his lands were plagued by a dragon, and by this time Beowulf is fucking ancient, but he’s still mean as a snake. He goes against the dragon and he manages to kill the dragon, but he’s mortally wounded in the process. He’s sky-bound, you know? These are all my own ideas about this. I used the myth as starting point for my own ideas and imagination.”
