GRAND MAGUS

Wolf God NUCLEAR BLAST

One of metal’s most consistently awesome bands returned with album number nine and, as expected, it kicked more ass than a Dr Marten’s-clad mutant squid. Laden with fist-in-the-air anthems that wouldn’t sound out of place blasted out in Valhalla’s banquet hall, the Swedes leant heavily on their Priest influences for a record that was as sharp as their bullet belts.
