Magnum Hair Metal Band

Magnum was a progressive metal band from Birmingham, England that formed in the 1970’s as the house band for a club called Rum Runner.  They released their first single in 1975, and their first album in 1978.  The band’s 1982 album, Chase the Dragon, was their first real taste of success.  The album reached #17 on the UK charts and featured songs like “Soldier of the Line”, “Sacred Hour”, and “The Spirit”. 

Magnum’s popularity continued to increase in the United Kingdom.  By 1985, they opened for the Monsters of Rock festival at Castle Donington, and by 1988, their album Wings of Heaven had reached #5 on the UK charts.  Three songs from this album made the top 40:  “Days of no Trust”, “Start Talking Love”, and “It Must Have Been Love”.  Their 1990 release, Goodnight L.A. also charted in the top 40 with the song “Rockin’ Chair”.  By the mid 1990’s, Magnum’s popularity had slowed, and they split.  The band reunited in 2001 and produced new material (and very good at that) well into the 2010’s.  They were back in the charts in 2014.  The Magnum Discography is as follows:
