Used in Esoteric’s press release – this, written by Dave Shoesmith of CDS.

 

Nick Magnus makes a magnificent brand of melodic symphonic rock and together with lyricist Dick Foster, the pair craft top-notch Progressive styled songs that run the gamut of dynamics, from powerful and rocky to ethereal and grandiose, incorporating magical moments of sublime beauty and pure melancholy, touches of Celtic music and even some tongue in cheek humour along the way!

Nick has been working on ‘N’monix’ for the past two years, and as with every new Magnus release, he again raises the bar a few notches on his playing and production skills as well as levels of perfectionism!

‘N’monix’ contains 8 brand new tracks, all with something different to offer a wide spectrum of music fans. It starts and ends in pure Prog Rock territory, and in between delivers a variety of quality tracks and instrumental stylings that touch on the edge of the main genre with the feel of his Prog past is never far away.

N’Monix will be released on April 28th. More information as and when it becomes available. Having spoken to Nick a while back he revealed to me that the album has many personal inflections in it and this from what i have been told is going to be one of the most interesting and intriguing albums to date. watch this space for a full review soon.
