Sunraven

The tenth Grand Magus album and their first concept record, Sunraven is a return to the heavy metal might of Wolf God and Sword Songs, but with an underlying story adding greater depth to the Swedes' earthy bombast. Made manifest via a grandiose production, inspired by the revered Old English epic poem of Beowulf. In true heavy metal style, these nine new songs dive deep into heroic fantasy, but with the same real-world resonances that are scorched into the genre's calloused skin.
