Magnum Reveal New Album Details

01/22/2014
. (Classic Rock) Magnum have confirmed the release date of their 19th studio album, Escape From The Shadow Garden, as March 24 via Steamhammer/SPV. And main songwriter Tony Clarkin says he's never enjoyed working with the band so much.

He comments: "We used to be under permanent pressure from our record companies. They kept demanding hit singles and radio numbers � but that sort of thing doesn't work on demand. Now it's a totally different situation: SPV give us the necessary time and trust us to do the right thing.

"I told myself: 'You're a passable guitarist, so you should play the guitar.' I have all the freedom I need to create exactly what I feel like creating. This band has certain unmistakable trademarks, among them are my feel for melodies and Bob Catley's unique vocal style. I was really happy when my friend Jimmy Lea of Slade came to visit me at the studio again and said: 'You've done it again!'" More including the artwork and tracklisting.
