STRIKER To Support SONATA ARCTICA On European Tour
October 26, 2016, 8 years ago
Never sated whizzkids Striker have taken the bait once again: By the beginning of next year, the crazy Canadians will join forces with Finnish power metal greats Sonata Arctica and return to Europe after their highly successful tour with Brainstorm and Primal Fear earlier this year.
True to their own motto “Full Speed Or No Speed”, their next album release is already planned for spring 2017 – Only one year after their critically acclaimed Stand In The Fire. It’s quite obvious: 2017 will be a Striker year again!
Check out the dates on the tour poster below:
Stand In The Fire is Striker's most uncompromising record to date. A record packed with incredible riffs and colossal anthems, all laced together with epic harmonies. Inspired by legendary bands like Iron Maiden, Striker wears their hearts firmly on their battle jackets, soaking up the power and influence of classic rock and metal.
The band; Dan Clearly (vocals) Tim Brown (lead/rhythm guitars) William Wallace (bass) Adam Brown (drums) recorded the album themselves with the help of Randy Black (who filled in on drums while Adam was away…) and mixing genius Frederik Nordstrom (Bring Me The Horizon, In Flames, Opeth) giving them not only the time and space needed but the freedom to set up the release direct to fans worldwide.
