by If there’s a newish metal band doing old-school metal right, it’s Canada’s Striker. These guys just know how to deliver honest, straight-forward metal without sounding like they’re trying to capture something that they just can’t pull off.
Riding high on the success of their own independent label, Record Breaking Records, Striker is the fastest growing metal band out of Canada. 2017 will see the release of their fifth album. More details will be made available soon, but before they are, Striker has revealed the music video for the track “Phoenix Lights” from their previous release Stand in the Fire.
Striker will be on tour in the United States from January 15th to February 15th to go with the pre-order campaign for the new album, they will also provide direct support for Sonata Arctica in Europe from February 20th to April 10th, with more tours to be announced shortly. See dates below.
