Swedish melodic heavy metal masters LION'S SHARE have unveiled the cover art for their upcoming sixth full-length album, Dark Hours. View at left.
Lion's Share will release its new album in late March 2009 via Blistering Records. The follow-up to 2007's Emotional Coma was mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren (OPETH, SYMPHONY X, PARADISE LOST) and features guest slots from: Mike Romeo (Symphony X) guest solo on 'Behind The Curtain', Conny Pettersson (from Earache Records death metal act ANATA) - drums, Richard Evensand (CHIMAIRA, SOLIWORK).
The final tracklisting for Dark Hours is as follows: 'Judas Must Die', 'Phantom Rider', 'Demon In Your Mind', 'Heavy Cross To Bear', 'The Bottomless Pit', 'Full Metal Jacket', 'The Presidio 27', 'Barker Ranch', 'Napalm Nights', 'Space Scam', 'Behind The Curtain' and 'King Of All The Kings' (bonus track - included on the limited edition digipak and Japanese version).
The band commented on the release: "The new songs are simply awesome and everybody that has heard it thinks it's our best album to date. The red thread lyric-wise on this album is that all songs are about things that happened in the late Sixties; a decade known for many good things. However, we're not describing the happy times of the Sixties: We give you the 'Dark Hours'. Musically, it's more straight-forward and faster than ever. The songs are filled with energy and great hooks."
