THE SERPENT RINGS

The Serpent Rings is the 20th studio album by British hard rock, heavy rock, prog rock legends Magnum. All I can say is how impressed I am with this band's catalog, no matter the decade you dig into you will find gems, and anthems, a lot of them! Their sound is immense and the production pristine. Nothing new under the sun but everything so damn well executed, ear candy top to bottom. And that cover?my god! So inviting?

The lineup for this specific album is:

Tony Clarkin on guitars (founding member)

Bob Catley on vocals (founding member)

Dennis Ward on bass guitar

Rick Benton in keyboards

Lee Morris on drums

I like every single song on this album and could all be favorites, however my highlights are:

- Where are you Eden?

- Madman or Messiah

- Not Forgiven

- The Serpent Rings

- Man

Any music lover, especially those that already embrace heavy metal and hard rock should definitely look into this band, their music is full of jaw dropping hooks, memorable melodies, heavy riffing, tight and heavy sounding bass and drums, atmospheric and enchanting keys and of course, those signature vocals by Mr. Catley so wonderfully preserved through all these years, incredible. I highly recommend this album, a more than enjoyable listen!
