Rocktopia: Grand Magus - 'Hammer Of The North' - CD Review

A gentle metallic clanking sound seduces you to lean in close to the speakers to hear exactly what is going on, before the clarion call of JB's guitar explodes in your ear and immediately we are off at a gallop, being dragged along by 'I, The Jury'. Barely pausing for breath, this opening track makes a bold statement that announces the arrival of the fifth album - 'Hammer of the North' – from Sweden's Grand Magus, the guitars roar, the vocals soar and the granite tough rhythm has you quaking in your boots. http://ping.fm/Jem1X
