Grand Magus

Grand Magus is a Swedish heavy metal powerhouse that’s been cranking out fist-pumping anthems since 1996. Formed in Stockholm by frontman JB Christoffersson (vocals/guitar), the band initially blended doom and stoner metal vibes before fully embracing their inner Vikings with a shift to epic, sword-raising traditional heavy metal. With thunderous albums like *Hammer of the North* (2010), *Triumph and Power* (2014), and *Wolf God* (2019), they’ve become synonymous with muscular riffs, warrior-sized choruses, and lyrics steeped in Norse mythology and warrior ethos. Their sound—equal parts melodic and primal—has earned them a loyal following and tours with giants like Amon Amarth and Mastodon.

Recent releases like *The Wheel of Pain* (2024) and *Sunraven* (2023) prove they’re still in top form, delivering chest-thumping anthems about destiny, battles, and mythical realms. Whether you’re headbanging to *Sword Songs* or getting lost in the doom-tinged grooves of their earlier work, Grand Magus remains a beacon of unapologetic, riff-driven glory.
