Grand Magus have announced that their new album Sunraven will be released on October 18th via Nuclear Blast Records. Check out the new track 'Skybound' below.
The band have said:
We are honoured to announce the arrival of our latest saga, Sunraven, set to be unleashed upon the world on October 18th through Nuclear Blast Records ⚔️ This opus marks the 10th chapter in our discography and delves into the legendary poem Beowulf, an ancient epic of grand scale, recounting tales of heroes and monsters, honour and bravery, victory and defeat - themes that have always been woven into the fabric of our lyrical lore.
Skybound’ is obviously a song about death and going to Valhalla. That’s where Beowulf ended up in the end, because after he defeated Grendel and Grendel’s mother, he was king for 50 years! Then his lands were plagued by a dragon, and by this time Beowulf is fucking ancient, but he’s still mean as a snake. He goes against the dragon and he manages to kill the dragon, but he’s mortally wounded in the process. He’s sky-bound, you know? These are all my own ideas about this. I used the myth as starting point for my own ideas and imagination.”
