Magnum have recorded eleven new songs which feature all the traditional strengths of the British act andalso live up to the band’s ambition to explore a more rock-oriented direction. “Thanks to our current recordcompany, we enjoy full artistic freedom,” Clarkin enthuses. “SPV understand how important this is to us. We’ve not always been in such a fortunate position. During the eighties, the label we were with at the timewanted us to sound as pop-oriented as possible because they hoped for better album sales. I used to hatethat, despite the success we had.”

The new album, The Serpent Rings, presents Magnum the way the musicians themselves like it: rocking and at the same time melodic, straightforward but also a little playful, powerful as well as sensitive with enchanted lyrics but also with a socio-critical approach.

The new album was recorded by the Magnum line-up consisting of Clarkin, Catley, keyboardist Rick Benton and drummer Lee Morris, plus their latest addition, bassist Dennis Ward (Pink Cream 69, Place Vendome, Unisonic, among others), who joined the fold to replace Al Barrow.
