“From the opening intro “End Your Slavery” into the title track song “Born Free”, “Waterval Boven”, “Tunguska” and lastly “Congregation”. Every song has a powerful message, and that message is delivered with even more powerful heavy metal riffs. There is no messing around with CroMagnum. These guys are true musicians and it shows in this album, and live it shows even more.” – CGCM Radio/Podcast
“a short and sweet release which should definitely appeal to fans of thrash metal, US power metal and perhaps even traditional heavy metal.” – Metal Music Archives
“Instrumental opening “End Your Slavery” is the ideal tone setter for the EP bringing flavours of Spirit Adrift and Crowbar while cleansing the mind in preparation of the onslaught that you might not even see coming. The title track is a whirlwind of staccato riffs that come from the pre-Thrash era with a raw rhythmic power cut but melodic leads that float above them like a friendly ghost, adding a touch of quality to the otherwise driven attack.” – Metal Noise
“”Tunguska” is a beautiful thrash piece…” – The Pit of The Damned
“Canadian band CroMagnum are out with the EP “Born Free”, and this is a production for metal fans to take note of. The variety of the style explored here is a dark and dirty one, with chugging riffs, groove-oriented barrages and occasional more intense runs, blending elements from plain heavy metal, thrash metal and possibly also speed metal to into a tight and slightly grimy package. The kind of metal you would expect to hear played as the soundtrack in a greasy car mechanic shop or performed at a more run down club, complete with dark and raspy, aggressive lead vocals that fits the premises quite nicely indeed. ” – The Viking in The Wilderness
#10 – CroMagnum Self-Titled on Top Metal Albums of 2014 – CJLO 1690 AM (Montreal, QC)
‘’… the band looked like they had just come off a tour opening for Amon Amarth, or more likely, just finished chasing down hordes of orcs using their instruments as weapons. I’m inclined to believe the latter is one hundred percent accurate.’’ – BucketList Music Reviews
“For a night of heaviosity, catch the riff-tastic Cromagnum” – Cult MTL

Discography:
2021 – Born Free
2014 – CroMagnum
Born of the frosty bowels of Montreal, Quebec, Canada comes CroMagnum, heavy metal from a simpler time. Brutal and unforgiving. Thoughtful and visionary. A forced juxtaposition that leads to an intense listening experience.
CroMagnum started when Maximus Rex and the original drummer parted ways with their previous band with an aim to keep it simple, heavy as fuck and stay as a three-piece. Since then, CroMagnum has evolved into its current form as the main duo of Maximus Rex on guitar and vocals, Gino LaPosta on bass.
With two EPs under their belts, 2014’s self-titled initial release and now 2021’s “Born Free”, CroMagnum embodies the human race’s struggle to climb out of the primordial ooze toward its future ascension to godhood. Lyrical content flows from anger, frustration, history, politics, government corruption, legends, and philosophy, complete with soaring melodies and punishing riffs.
Mythology. Tradition. Evolution. The beginning. The end. CroMagnum.
