Flying Close To The Sun With JANNE CHRISTOFFERSSON From GRAND MAGUS

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!)
