gOD is great, after dEUS and The Prophet comes Magnus. Magnus is a joint dance project of Tom Barman - heart and soul of Antwerp rockers dEUS - and CJ Bolland - DJ-producer and key figure in the international techno scene.
'First one to call Magnus a side-project will get his teeth kicked in by me personally' Barman grins. The message is clear: we're not talking about a quick inbetweenie here, but a close and successful encounter between two musicians with radically distinct musical backgrounds, who took it to a recording studio in search of a common sound.
The Magnus' debut album aims to hit body rather than mind and is totally dedicated to rhythm. Tom Barman calls the opener - un-coincidentally called "Rhythm is deified" - a declaration of intent, while the moody closing track "Assault on Magnus" should be regarded as the 'hangover after the party'.
