SHEAR Ink Deal With Lifeforce Records
December 7, 2011, 12 years ago
Helsinki, Finland-based metallers SHEAR, featuring past and present members of CRYSTAL BLAZE, THE NIBIRUAN, ELENIUM, IMPERANON, OMNIUM GATHERUM and AMORAL, have inked a deal with Lifeforce Records.
The band's first official release is the four track EP entitled In Solitude. The EP was recorded and mixed at Arcada Studios in the fall of 2009 by guitarist Mikael Gronroos. In Solitude was mastered at the famous Chartmakers studios.
According to a press release, the EP "is a demonstration of a fresh approach to female fronted metal. The catchy and melodic vocal lines combined with the heavy and technical instrumental soundscape is what makes Shear stand out. Shear's music is easily approachable for a regular listener, but also intriguing to a more experienced and demanding listener."
The band's already recorded as-yet-untitled Lifeforce Records debut album is set to be released in March 2012.
Shear is:
Alexa Leroux - vocals
Mikael Gronroos - guitars
Lauri Koskenniemi - guitars
Eerik Purdon - bass
Lari Sorvo - keyboards
Juhana Karlsson - drums
