Description
Grand Magus are a heavy metal band from Stockholm, Sweden. Grand Magus was formed by former Cardinal Fang vocalist Janne "JB" Christoffersson and bassist Fox.[1] They soon teamed up with drummer Fredrik "Trisse" Liefvendahl and recorded a three track demo. This recording led to an appearance on the Waterdragon Records compilation, Greatest Hits Vol 1 (2000). After this compilation they put out a split 7" with Spiritual Beggars (who JB would later join) on Southern Lord Records. This split was followed closely by their debut album, Grand Magus (2001), on Rise Above Records. Two more albums would follow, Monument (2003) and Wolf's Return (2005), both on Rise Above. In 2006 Trisse left the band and SEB was recruited on drums. The band released their fourth album, Iron Will, on June 9, 2008 on Rise Above.
