The hunt for quality metal of the more traditional sort is often long and arduous nowadays. Fortunately The Hunt delivers! Grand Magus is a consistent group who manage to provide set after set of uncompromising and catchy tracks. In terms of their heavy/doom styled offerings they are a band that is always straight to the point, so I will try to be as well. Each track runs in much the same vein, from the excellent opener "Starlight Slaughter" showcasing the distinctive vocals of Christoffersson to the strident closing track "Draksadd." The bass of Fox is especially well exhibited, fueling addictive songs such as the title track, an album highlight. Newly recruited drummer Witt of heavy/stoner outfit Spiritual Beggars, for which Christoffersson previously provided vocals, also makes his presence felt in tracks like the riff happy "Silver Moon."

Good album. While there are some nice riffs and JB's vocals are as good as ever the songs aren't catchy enough for this album to be a heavy metal masterpiece. I like it nonetheless.

Extremely catchy this one. Too bad it kinda loses its pace toward the end, otherwise I would've been even better.

These guys never disappoint, there's always some great songs on their albums and the title tracks are consistently good in particular.

Not bad, it has a catchy, old school vibe to it. Great for in the evenings when you have whiskey to sip on
