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