Magnum – On The 13th Day
I have to admit that in over thirty years of listening to and buying rock music I’ve never really paid much attention to Magnum. I’m not really sure why, but they just weren’t a band I followed in the 80s and I don’t own any of their albums. Apologies to all the die-hard Magnum fans, of which there are many!
So it was with a rather cynical head that I clicked on the link to the album download that the good people at Workhard PR had sent to Rock Radio NI. As always I had a wee listen before making a decision on downloading! Let’s just say I was rather surprised by what I heard and it was a no-brainer to hit the download button.
You can read a proper review by Jonny in the Belfast Metalheads Reunited blog on the Rock Radio NI website, so I’ll simply say that you should give it a listen and consider buying it when it gets released by Steamhammer / SPV Records on 24th September. The first single “So Let It Rain” will be released at the end of August.
About NI Rocks Recommends
I'm not a reviewer but wanted to acknowledge some of the great music being submitted to Rock Radio NI by artists, promoters and labels both within and outside of N Ireland. That was the idea behind “NI Rocks Recommends”. I'm not giving marks or ratings, trying to categorise bands or compare artists. To be honest I’m not really a big fan of reviews as they’re simply one person’s opinion!! Therefore “NI Rocks Recommends” is simply my personal recommendation. Let's just say that if I've went to the bother of writing this, I think it's worth taking a listen to!!
