Magnum Opus is a thunderous neo-grunge rock 'n' roll heavy metal powerhouse hailing from the heart of Lexington, Kentucky. Formed in the gritty underbelly of the Bluegrass State's music scene in 2025, we fuse the raw, angst-fueled energy of '90s grunge and sludge metal with the blistering riffs and unapologetic swagger of classic heavy metal, all wrapped in a modern rock 'n' roll edge that hits like a freight train.

Born of Sabbath jam sessions in an unfinished basement downtown, the band came together when lead vocalist Drew Mangas and drummer Blayne Boone linked up with shredding lead guitarist Luke Hall and bassist Jacob Rhodey. Influenced by legends like Stone Temple Pilots, Alice in Chains, Acid Bath, Black Sabbath, and Guns N' Roses, we channel that rebellious spirit into anthems that scream defiance, heartbreak, and unbridled fury. Our sound is dirty, heavy, and hypnotic—think crushing distortion, pounding rhythms, and lyrics that cut straight to the soul.

We're not just a band; we're a movement, proving that rock 'n' roll ain't dead—it's evolving, and Magnum Opus is leading the charge.

Join the opus. Stay heavy.
