Jethro Tull to Queen through to Genesis.
The opening track begins with acoustic guitar before a flute kicks in followed by some harmonics provided by Clarkin and then the song begins in earnest. 'Kingdom of Madness' was the bands first single release and is a typical rock track from the seventies which could quite happily sit amongst Queen's second LP 'Queen II' and not feel out of place. The vocals flit between high and low and the odd sound effect really add to this pieces prog-heavy feel.

Magnum were formed in 1972 in Birmingham (always a hot-bed of metal talent) by singer Bob Catley and guitarist Tony Clarkin. Both initial members are still in the band which in itself is quite rare and in 1978 they signed a contract with Jet Records following a suggestion from Jeff Lynne (ELO) and run by Don Arden (Sharon Osbournes dad) which resulted in the release of their first long player - Kingdom of Madness.

Masterful lyrics, unique vocal talent 
It's Not You Lady Jane - poor bonus would have been better left off The title track is magnificent, Closer 'Mississippi' is also pretty darn fine Little or nothing else of interest on offerFrustrating hints of potential revealed but generally not realised Probably can be picked up for a fiver now NoneTheatre Of The Damned - Blitzkrieg
Modern production and some interesting lyrical themes. A lack of energy and too much repetition.
The Great Depression - Blindside
Mellow elements mixed with hardcore, if you find that an exciting idea. Essentially a rubbish version of Pain of Salvation.
Stash - Bongzilla
Loyal and slightly varied stoner sludge doom. I don't smoke, so I probably didn't fully appreciate it.
Silence - Blindside
Slightly less irritating. Now a bland gothic pop rock band, with a singer who still can't sing.
Gateway - Bongzilla
Great sludge doom. Repetitive towards the end.
Crippled Lucifer - Burning Witch
mesmerising, atmospheric, and very original for the material's time definitely an acquired taste that will not appeal to everyone
Apogee - Bongzilla
Suitably stoned atmosphere, good live sound quality. Incredibly lazy.
Amerijuanican - Bongzilla
Consistent. Too consistent.
About A Burning Fire - Blindside
Successful experimentation. Emo base is still pretty dire.
A Thought Crushed My Mind - Blindside
String sections demonstrate a willingness to innovate. It's tedious and cacophonous emo-hardcore.
