Magnum are an English rock band. They were formed in Birmingham by Tony Clarkin (guitar, songwriter) and Bob Catley (vocals) in order to appear as the resident band at the Rum Runner nightclub in the city. Magnum have undergone several changes in personnel over the years; however, the core of Catley and Clarkin remain.
The band's first album, Kingdom of Madness, came out in 1978, right in the midst of the punk rock musical revolution. That timing may be one factor contributing to the band's unknown status.
Magnum's most significant early success was Chase the Dragon in 1982, which reached number 17 in the UK Albums Chart.It included several songs that would become mainstays of the band's live set, notably "Soldier of the Line", "Sacred Hour" and "The Spirit". The band's 1986 album Vigilante represented a move towards the mainstream due to production by Queen drummer Roger Taylor and David Richards, who had recently worked together on A Kind of Magic. The band then achieved their commercial peak in 1988 when they entered the UK Top Ten for the first time with the album Wings of Heaven, which reached number five and featured three Top 40 singles, "Days of No Trust", "Start Talking Love" and "It Must Have Been Love". It was followed by Goodnight L.A., which was produced by Keith Olsen and reached number nine in the UK Album Chart in 1990. It produced another Top 40 single for the band, "Rockin' Chair".
In 1995, Clarkin announced Magnum's split; he later formed another band, with Catley and Al Barrow called Hard Rain. Magnum reformed in 2001 and have released a further eight studio albums since then. Their most recent album, Sacred Blood "Divine" Lies, was released in February 2016.
"Kingdom Of Madness" lyrics:
When the night is on the run
And your dreams are almost gone
Seas of fire snatch your soul
Beast of morning then unfold
In a whirlpool sadness creeps
Shadows walk with silent feet
Is there something in the air
Turns your hope into despair?
Despair
Oh, kingdom of madness
You've got me undone
Oh, kingdom of madness
You've really begun
Oh, kingdom of madness
You've got me on the run
When the night is on the run
And your dreams are almost gone
Seas of fire snatch your soul
Beast of morning then unfold
Take your hands away from me
Leave my eyes so I can see
It's not pleasure that you seek
You destroy the ones who are weak
Oh, kingdom of madness
You've got me undone
Oh, kingdom of madness
You've really begun
Oh, kingdom of madness
You've got me on the run
The minstrel sings as he looks at me
But he doesn't make a sound
And a lovely time is had by all
As the jester plays around
Everyone's laughing
Everyone's laughing
Everyone's laughing but me
Oh, kingdom of madness
You've got me undone
Oh, kingdom of madness
You've really begun
Oh, kingdom of madness
You've got me on the run
Oh, kingdom of madness
You've got me undone
Oh, kingdom of madness
You've really begun
Oh, kingdom of madness
You've got me on the run.
Thank you for watching me!
