#26: Heavy Metal and Vikings with JB Christoffersson

from Exploring the Viking Age · host GRIMFROST®

In this episode, we sit down with the powerful voice behind the heavy metal band Grand Magus to talk about heavy metal, mythology, and what actually makes music powerful. We dive into vocal techniques and how to maintain your voice over decades of touring, why Norse mythology continues to inspire metal bands around the world, and the creative process behind writing riffs, lyrics, and songs that feel real.We also get into what many modern bands misunderstand about “heaviness”, why authenticity matters more than trends, and how metal at its core is about emotion, imagination, and even joy.From Odin and ancient sagas to live shows and songwriting, this is a conversation about why these stories still resonate today.Subscribe to stay updated!
