 Overall, Boldly Stride The Doomed highlights the merits of the self-titled album but also introduces a not insignificant flaw, the compositional immobility too often anchored to the riffs of the heavy metal that was.

Argus' 2011 album Boldly Stride The Doomed continues their retro-inspired heavy metal sound with strong performances, especially from singer Brian Balich. While it recalls the golden '80s metal era and epic themes, the album lacks innovation and compositional variety compared to their debut. Doom metal elements are present but subdued. Overall, it is an acceptable but less exciting follow-up. Listen to Argus' Boldly Stride The Doomed and explore their authentic '80s heavy metal vibe today!

 In Hammer of the North there is a subtle state of fatigue that inevitably impacts the final result.

 Grand Magus loses the first shots... some well-placed choruses are missing, the epic and sustained pathos that brought success to the early records is missing.

While energetic tracks and a powerful title song stand out, the album lacks the freshness and epic pathos of previous releases. Some songs feel repetitive or less inspired, signaling a subtle fatigue. Fans will appreciate the band's humility and craftsmanship, but the album feels more like a modest step than a leap forward. Discover the powerful riffs and Viking vibes of Hammer Of The North—listen now and judge if Grand Magus still delivers the metal goods!
