Flying Close To The Sun With JANNE CHRISTOFFERSSON From GRAND MAGUS

Interview by Angela Croudace
Janne "JB" Christoffersson (guitar, lead vocals) from Grand Magus
talks Vikings, Beowulf and the benefit of taking a long break
before releasing the upcoming album, Sunraven - out October
18.
The Swedish metal trio have been delivering metal for 25 years,
renowned for their captivating guitar solos and Viking-inspired
battle anthems. This three-piece band is truly impressive.
On having a break (due to the pandemic) before diving into
Sunraven, JB had this to say: “We said if we’re going to do this,
we’re going to do it properly. We took a year to record it. We
didn’t know that this was going to be possible, but it was.”
“Everything we do is based on emotion; if the passion’s not there,
we’re not gonna do it.”
JB shares his experience of playing festivals like Bloodstock
alongside friends in Opeth. He expresses hope to one day perform
for the huge metal scene in Australia. (and hand out some Grand
Magus temporary tattoos while they’re at it!)
