Magnus
Magnus formed in the late 90's and played regularly until the
untimely passing of founding guitarist/vocalist Merk Crandle, prompting
the breakup of the group.
Several years later the other two original members came back together,
recruited a new guitarist, and eventually released a self-titled album
in 2011 in tribute to Crandle.
The style is a rather intense and intriguing form of dark
progressive semi-thrash,
with some intricate riffing and some great pounding drumming from Andrew
Tipps.
The album is largely instrumental, but some of the vocals featured
are of founding member Crandle, whose vocals were retrieved from an
earlier demo.
