Lost On The Road To Eternity

Description

11 brand new songs Majestic Hard Rock at it`s best. So what exactly are the unmistakable criteria of a typical Magnum song. First of all of course founder members Bob Catleys charismatic vocals and guitarist Tony Clarkins melodic, relentlessly driving, rocking songwriting. In addition, the British bands compositions all ooze a magic thats difficult to describe, an enchanting ambience created by Clarkin`s poetic lyrics that create sonic images in their fans minds. No doubt about it: its the interplay of a number of different elements that have made Magnum one of the most charismatic British rock acts for more than forty years and have their music stand out to this day. Their latest album Lost On The Road To Eternity, scheduled for release on Steamhammer/SPV on 19 January 2018, sees Magnum celebrate an impressive anniversary: its their 20th (!) studio recording. Lost On The Road To Eternity features a number of haunting melodies, be it the stalwart opener ´Peaches And Cream` or ´Storm Baby` with its a powerful rock riff. The first single to be released will be ´Without Love`, which is based on a substantial groove, and the collaboration with Tobias Sammet on the title track, a kind of artistic thank you by the Edguy /Avantasia frontman in appreciation of Catleys guest stint on a number of Sammets releases, is by no means less spectacular. Lost On The Road To Eternity is additionally enhanced by atmospheric arrangements courtesy of the Wolf Kerschek orchestra. The album ends with a song called ´King Of The World`, which is dominated by a bluesy guitar a worthy finale to a richly coloured album. You dont have to be a prophet to realise that Magnum fans will love Lost On The Road To Eternity. Artwork by well known fantasy artist Rodney Matthews (Nazareth, Asia)
