This so fucking underated band... I heard them live at 25.11.2016 in Prague and they were better than whole Testament... Guys, I hope you will do as awesome stuff as you are doing!!!
Saw them live on the Amon Amarth tour and 4 days ago at Wacken and both times they ruled the fucking evening. At Wacken they were the only band I saw which convinced LITERALLY EVERYONE in the crowd to sing along. Even 15 minutes after they stopped playing people were still singing Hammer of the North on their way to the main stages.
Discovered these guys when they opened for Amon Amarth last fall, My mind was blown!! Amazing vocals and great tone on all instruments! Iron Will got me immediately hooked
K.K Downing (Judas Priest) brought me here. Was watching an interview of JP and Eric Blair asked KK what bands does he have on his IPOD. This was one of them. Can see why, very classic metal sounding
Thanks ! I know and like all these bands, I'm just searching for new stuff to listen. I'm a guitarist, and as soon as something is technical/catchy/genius, ... I enjoy listening to it :) I try to come back to the "roots" of metal/rock music recently. I search for "pre metal" stuff. Music like the one you can find in the first albums of Judas Priest, kind of hippie/rock things.
Drifting away into dreams of despair Visions of doom and of dead eyes that stare Will the end be what you thought - will you escape? Across the plains you rode as you fled The lord of chaos put a price on your head And the black blade at your side won't let you rest To slay became a trade Your soul will have to pay The final fate a clash between the blades And in the end it's steel versus steel The final lock and the final key It's the steel versus stee A thousand souls won't tame the need Steel versus steel The final lock and the final key Steel versus steel Skin as white as the full moon at night Eyes that burn like a red fire light But the body's still as weak as a newborn child Tried to rule with mercy inside Ignore tradition and the dragons will rise The dreaming city falls - lost in time To slay became a trade Your soul will have to pay The final fate a clash between the blades 'Cause in the end it's steel versus steel The final lock and the final key It's the steel versus steel A thousand souls won't tame the need Steel versus steel The final lock and the final key Steel versus steel A thousand souls won't tame the need To slay became a trade You will travel on the seas of fate The seas of fate - between the blades The price to pay - the end of time The final fate a clash between the blades And in the end it's steel versus steel The final lock and the final key Steel versus steel A thousand souls won't tame the need Steel versus steel The final lock and the final key Steel versus steel A thousand souls won't tame the need It's the steel versus steel The final lock and the final key
If they ever make an Elric of Melnibone TV show, this song needs to be the opening theme for the final season that adapts the final novel "Elric: Stormbringer!" 'cause it's way too fucking epic!
man you guys are so fucking good, I've seen you 3 times live and each time enjoyed it so much that I swear the singer looked at me like I'm mad...maybe I am lol
Pareceré un poco ignorante al comentar que no sabía de la existencia de esta gran banda hasta que compré la entrada del tour de Amon Amarth + Testament (Barcelona), pero ahora que al fin conozco a las tres bandas ejecutoras del concierto, tengo la absoluta certeza de que será un conciertazo brutal. ¿Alguien sabe cuál es el nombre de la banda que actuará como telonera en esa ciudad o eso no se sabrá hasta que empiece el espectáculo?
I had a Marshall JCM 900 and Full 1960 Stack and I also had a B.C. Rich KK V Heavy metal Guitar. I set the volume and gain on the JCM 900 on 11 and used that Kohler Tremolo bar for all it's worth. I tell you I could see the souls being pulled out of the wood all around me in the room. Kind of scary and freaky. I ended up selling the wonderful Marshall rig because I was moving. I sold the Guitar because it was way to heavy for my body and I was always in pain after playing. I really miss that stuff and I have been shopping for a replacement amp/stack and guitar. I may just get another Marshall JCM 1960 full stack. I can't afford a new JCM 900 amp. I have found a new ESP LTD JH600 Jeff Hanneman Signiture guitar that I can afford. I hope it's not as heavy. I could get another BC Rich KK V but the weight say's no. It is my favorite guitar! Funny, believe it or not this song was the very first time that I ever searched out Heavy Metal. I kinda think it was lame and sucked. The musicians looked fucked up. I may still go ahead and get back into heavy metal as for some odd reason I enjoy playing this style and I find it easy and natural. it's not hard at all for me. Weird huh! But now that I see into the Heavy Metal World I am pissed off that you people look like your zombies. That sucks big time. I am pro life, I love clean air and sunshine. You need to change your attitude and live a healthy life and forget about all that zombie crap. Yea I'm old but I have been through a lot. You don't know how much, really. But I still find clean air and sunshine among the very best things in my life.
I may go ahead and continue on my Heavy Metal Musical Journey. Not for you and not for them but for me because I love my Heavy Metal Music. I play around 20 different stringed instruments from all over the world. But a Heavy Metal guitar is so expressive. I will play on, but for me so forget you if you look like these people. I'm not one of you. I just like the music.
Elric of Melnibone reference. The line "I was a thousand times more evil than thou" straight up comes from Stormbringer, the sixth and final book in the Elric Saga. Plus the line "body's still as weak as a newborn child" is also a clue, Elric was a physically frail Albino sorcerer who was heavily reliant on his soul devouring black blade called Stormbringer.
Sonic truth men have no choice but to fucking rock on its in our fucking DNA blood hardcore.. Cheers Pace & Joey D on soundcloud Sons of The Dark Dawn...
The reason why power metal-heavy metal is dead nowadays is there are no more new and interesting bands, and i say this as a fan of power metal after listening to insane amounts of bands from Italy,France.Sweden.Finland bla bla...the thing that pissed me of is the "this is the best band ever in the world of dragons and steel" type band, you guys are so boring :/
And yet Death Metal focuses mainly on death, murder, slaughter etc. and that's not samey? A lot of Death Metal bands sound extremely similar, not just with the lyrics but the instruments to. I find bands trying to be super brutal 'Cannibal Copse part 2' to be very cheesy. Give me Power Metal with interesting, different melodies and song structures any day.
I don't like bands like Cannibal Corpse at all, because of the thing you said the cheesiness and the boring theme and trying to look brutal...my point was that in general even the power guys don't try that much anymore and that is sad :/
Vanja Andric I must admit, when people put Power Metal down, I assume that they're Death or Black Metal fans. I'm usually right but I guess this time I wasn't. You seem to have a pretty genuine reason for disliking it so I do apologise for the earlier snide comment.
No prob man :) i listen to all kinds of music, power, progressive, metalcore, deathcore, even death and black but i know my roots and what i was listening to the most :D
Production is quite ok. Guitars souns like real guitars, not that rubbish Hetfield-esque thing that just sounds awful. The only problem, IMO, is that drum sound doesn't fit. It's that new full trigger-processed sound, no intonation, no soul. Like corrugated boxes being hit hard.
Elric of Melniboné. Brilliant band. Always fuel for me to go back the books again.
There will always be a place for straight down the line, classic heavy metal. This is great. Just heard of this band but am a fan as of now!!!!!
This so fucking underated band... I heard them live at 25.11.2016 in Prague and they were better than whole Testament... Guys, I hope you will do as awesome stuff as you are doing!!!
Crazy Guitar Covers with amon amarth?
Alex Handjiev Yep, with them :)
November 21 in Milan, same formation. Yeah, Grand Magus ruled
Saw them live on the Amon Amarth tour and 4 days ago at Wacken and both times they ruled the fucking evening.

Why this band didnt get the recognition they deserve..ill never kno. Hevy duty song bro
Vocalist looks like Sandor Clegane's twin. Awesome.

Can you make the list of the bands ?
I just found about Grand Magus today :D

Well he first started naming the very obvious

sabaton perhaps ( i think im a bit late )
Try a band called spiritual beggars
Drifting away into dreams of despair
Visions of doom and of dead eyes that stare
Will the end be what you thought - will you escape?
Across the plains you rode as you fled
The lord of chaos put a price on your head
And the black blade at your side won't let you rest
To slay became a trade
Your soul will have to pay
The final fate a clash between the blades
And in the end it's steel versus steel
The final lock and the final key
It's the steel versus stee
A thousand souls won't tame the need
Steel versus steel
The final lock and the final key
Steel versus steel
Skin as white as the full moon at night
Eyes that burn like a red fire light
But the body's still as weak as a newborn child
Tried to rule with mercy inside
Ignore tradition and the dragons will rise
The dreaming city falls - lost in time
To slay became a trade
Your soul will have to pay
The final fate a clash between the blades
'Cause in the end it's steel versus steel
The final lock and the final key
It's the steel versus steel
A thousand souls won't tame the need
Steel versus steel
The final lock and the final key
Steel versus steel
A thousand souls won't tame the need
To slay became a trade
You will travel on the seas of fate
The seas of fate - between the blades
The price to pay - the end of time
The final fate a clash between the blades
And in the end it's steel versus steel
The final lock and the final key
Steel versus steel
A thousand souls won't tame the need
Steel versus steel
The final lock and the final key
Steel versus steel
A thousand souls won't tame the need
It's the steel versus steel
The final lock and the final key
good old heavy metal \m/ finally someone to hold the torch
one of the few bands that sound live much better than recorded. always a pleasure
Awesome! That´s how Metal is supposed to sound like! It´s a 10 plus!

Ayer estuve en ese concieeto. Grandes bandas
Rafael Poveda Lizan See y el wall of death (así como los mosh-pits) cuando tocaba Testament fue insuperable...
Standart heavy metal...sowas schon 1000 mal gehört...
Headbanging good
Another really good band in this vein is Hammerfall. If you agree let me know.
Ah, that's fxxxxn' great !!!

''The black blade at your side won't let you rest'' sounds like a reference to The Elder Scrolls Oblivion
+TakeTo TheShadows,the whole song is a reference to Elric of Melnibone
Erevos Z I know it isn't actually it just reminded me of a quest line in that game.
@@6darkness6eternal6 The Umbra quest, right? That was also homage to Stormbringer, Elric's sword.
👑
Elric Lives!
Real men telling it
I am going to build arms of steel to 🎶
HEAVY METAL!!! \,,/
♪＼(^o^)／♩
my biggest problem with Magus is that they always sound like they are holding back.
totally agree
Yep
***** I was wondering that too... hahaha whats with the ball huggers?
Otto Halmén except it's not an everyday life; art doesn't need this.
That's what I was thinking. I dig it but I feel like got a demon they should be unleashing
Nice
Good HM style.
Thanking you sir
My fine lady
Ist doch geil
wow best Metal \M/
great thanks for that fucking amazing song :)
Lo mejor del stoner rock
Heavy metal clásico se llama colega
end song?
lets rock summerbreeze \m/
Хороший рок
👍👍👍
nice track, but... who ended the solo?
i was wondering the same question !!!!
Live Video - Studio Track ;)
cade o baixista dessa banda?
try 1.25 speed for a very metal experience
0:55 Half Life
Who caught the Elric reference ? :D
The entire song is about Elric and his swords, Stormbinger and Mournblade.
The album Sword Songs has a Stormbringer (Deep Purple) cover on it lol. Elric is well represented all over rock & metal
i saw them (for the first time) before amon amarth and they were much better
Vocalist looks like Trevor from GTA
Charlie Sheen plays heavy metal?
Trevor Philips on Vocals lol
Rubick?
Cmon u nerd😂😂
Looks like Chris Delia mixed with a bit of Trevor from gta
Great heavy song Grand magus! If someone is interested in some heavy metal/doom in Swedish, please check out our band Trollfnask! :D
The vocalist looks like actor Hugo Weaving :P
This video does not match the awesomeness of the song. This song deserves better.
It's a good theme for iron man
lml
This band was so good on Iron Will, from there it went downhill to be some simple sappy power shit instead of pure heavy metal
yes agree, but anyway, fair and decent
Dota reference?
