Message from Grand Magus:
"Necrolord is a legend and has created some of the most striking and powerful images ever, he's also closely connected with Swedish metal. We just knew that he would deliver the perfect feel, mood and imagery for the new record. No one else would come close, it's an honour to have his artwork for HAMMER OF THE NORTH"
HAIL!
Message from Grand Magus:
"Hey! tonight the awesome mix for HAMMER OF THE NORTH will be sent to New York for mastering. We are chuffed with the way everything turned out recording-wise and the mix really made things come alive in a way that far exceeded our expectations, more details about this will follow. Now we are entering the final phase of making this album come to fruition. It's been hard work for a solid two months in an ice cold Stockholm, but it will totally be worth every single second we put into it. Also we've just seen the incredible artwork that will complement the sounds that we make in a most fitting manner. All in all, you are in for a treat! Hail to all our friends and listeners out there around the globe, we will not disappoint you!"
Expect more news very soon!

"We have now spent two days in studio 301 outside of Stockholm, in deep freeze weather by the way, and have already laid down basic tracks for eight of the songs for the upcoming album HAMMER OF THE NORTH. The big room we use for the drums have unique and fantastic acoustics, we are talking some of the most punishing natural drum sounds since Creatures of the night or Mob rules.
It'll be extremely exciting to present some real stuff in this world of triggered and doctored drums and what else. We are confident that the real deal will taste better!
Expect more news soon. Time to go."

PRESS RELEASE
Swedish metal-riff-lords GRAND MAGUS sign a worldwide deal with Roadrunner Records
Dear friends, colleagues and metal-heads!
Roadrunner Records is very excited to announce the signing of this outstanding metal band from Stockholm/Sweden!
GRAND MAGUS is a 3-piece band featuring: „JB“ Christofferson – Guitars & Lead-Vocals, Fox Skinner – Bass & Backing-Vocals, Sebastian "SEB" Sippola – Drums
During their 10-year history, GRAND MAGUS have released 2 demos, 1 split-EP and 4 full-length albums, and have received overwhelmingly positive reviews throughout. Their last opus, “Iron Will” was voted “Album of The Month” in the German Metal Hammer & Rock Hard magazines. Drawing hefty influences from the hand-on-heart grandeur of the NWOBHM and the inspirational mythology of their forbears, GRAND MAGUS are steeped in pre-Christian tales of triumph, vengeance, betrayal, wisdom and death. But GRAND MAGUS also stand for energetic live performances as seen at this year’s European festivals such as Sweden Rock (SE), Hellfest (FR), Wacken (D), Summerbreeze (D) or on tour in Europe with bands like At The Gates, Cathedral, Candlemass, Tyrant, SerpentCult or Electric Wizard.
Roadrunner Records is proud to be releasing their upcoming album, “HAMMER OF THE NORTH” in spring/early summer of 2010 (tba). On this release, GRAND MAGUS have perfected their own style of full-on metal assault with fantastic heavy riffing and stomping songs, strong hook-lines, epic vocals/lyrics and rousing solo guitars. “HAMMER OF THE NORTH” is not only the title of a new album in the band’s catalogue, it’s going to be a strong statement from GRAND MAGUS: “Hammer Of The North” - this is pure Heavy Metal!
GRAND MAGUS:
"We are thrilled with working with Roadrunner Records. We regard this both as a great sign of recognition and most importantly a chance for us to really push ourselves and the music to the point of perfection. We are confident that the team of us and Roadrunner will be something really special."
Henk Hakker (MD Roadrunner Records/Germany):
“It is very exciting for RR Germany to sign excellent European bands like GRAND MAGUS, in order to prove that not only American metal can be successful worldwide. I am confident that we will be able to create the right infrastructure around Grand Magus in order to support the best records in their career and to get them on to the next level.”
Chris Klimek (A&R Roadrunner Records):
“I’m very happy and proud about the fact that this fantastic band has finally signed to Roadrunner, as we haven’t been the only label grabbing at them. All members in GRAND MAGUS are fantastic musicians: JB is a marvellous singer and guitarist. SEB and FOX are great instrumentalists and the steam-rolling backing in this band. The natural, organic and timeless sound of GRAND MAGUS, plus their 100% eager, authentic and passionate heavy metal-attitude and coolness marks them out as absolutely special in the whole scene! I’m really looking forward to a mutually rewarding future with these great guys! Skol!”
HAIL!
So what have we been up to? In one word: gigs. This summer has been a busy one, we’ve managed to play the following festivals: Sweden Rock (SWE), Rock Hard (GER), Hammerfest (UK), Wacken Open Air (GER), Hellfest (FR), Inferno (NOR), Summer Breeze (GER), Sauzipf Rocks (AUT) and done a bunch of other gigs. Most recently with Candlemass in Athens which was a blast. Thanks to all you heavy metal people in Europe who came and banged your heads with us!
The website has been down for quite a while, apologies for this, but we simply have put the gigs as our main priority. We shall improve our web presence tenfold in the next few weeks/months. This also involves our “fan” myspace,
www.myspace.com/grandmagusrocks, which will become the only official Grand Magus myspace with information from us, the band, directly. Hopefully this will be happening in the next couple of weeks as well. Total respect and mighty thanks to Leslie in Lousiana for starting up the myspace and maintaining it for a long time. We owe you one!
Ever since the release of IRON WILL, we have been on what seems like and endless roller coaster ride, filled with great gigs, awesome response from magazines and most importantly from you, our listeners. We never knew there were so many of you out there. Especially gratifying is the fact that you all seem to fucking understand what we want to put across, which makes it worth so much more. It has been a fantastic year and a half! Our goal now is to top this for 2010. We aim to make an even better album and gigs. We can’t wait to get the metal out there to you.
At the moment we are writing new songs and generally spending a lot of time locked in our rehearsal space. The atmosphere when we get together is electric and we have already come up with some killer stuff. We feel strong and confident.
All business matters will be handled by our management from now.
zacke666[at]web.de
Please do not use the myspace for getting in touch regarding gigs or any other pressing matter. All official news, statements, touring dates etc. will be posted on GRANDMAGUS.COM first, not the myspace. Information like this is NOT confirmed until you find it here.
Alright friends, brothers and sisters, for now, watch this space, there will be earth-shattering info here soon. Hail Oden! Valhalla awaits the brave!
