21:02 - MechanisT Totally! Uniformity is SO GOOD *_*
21:02 - Blue Platypus They wer clearly not inspired when they recorded We Are The Void... Whereas in their last album, there are some intersting elements (I was surprised when I listened to "Uniformity" for the first time) !
21:00 - huascaman ...if only they'd make another Damage Done \m/ From what I've heard it's greater than WatV and less than Fiction
20:56 - MechanisT Exactly my thoughts too. And the best thing about Construct is that it doesn't sound recycled, unlike the previous. I commend them for that.
20:54 - Blue Platypus @MechanisT: Yes, I've heard it, and I found it better than We Are The Void. I hear in this album the same sound than in Haven and Projector, 2 albums that I enjoy, but don't worship.

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), Summer Breeze (D) or on tour in Europe with bands like At The Gates, Cathedral, Candlemass, Tyrant, Serpentcult and Electric Wizard.
"Due to unforeseen circumstances Grand Magus will not tour Germany on the announced dates in November. The band is very sorry about this, but promise to reschedual these dates and come back in 2009 instead.
On the good side the UK and Holland, Belgium our was a great success, cheers to all who showed up. Grand Magus will return soon again."
