LANCER’s new album “Second Storm” is set for release on 10th April. It is a lesson in melodic metal and follows a long tradition of outstanding Swedish metal bands, such as Hammerfall, Sabaton, Enforcer and many more. The band have released a new video for the track ‘Masters And Crowns’, check it out below:
The album was recorded in the world famous Leon Music Studios with producer Gustav Ydenius (Steelwing, Mustasch, Enforcer). Lancer draws its inspiration from classical acts like Iron Maiden, Helloween and Gamma Ray, adding a personal and modern twist to the sound.
LANCER met at the Music Academy of Ingesund in Arvika, Sweden, and the common passion for heavy metal forged them together and the band was born. They invaded the metal scene in the spring of 2012 with their debut EP “Purple Sky”. The EP was warmly received across the world, resulting in the band signing to Swedish label Doolittle Group AB, (owned by Narnia vocalist Christian Liljegren) as well as a deal with Japanese label King Records.
In early 2013 Lancer released their eponymous debut world-wide. The album was produced by Tommy Reinxeed and Ronny Milianowicz (Hammerfall, Michael Kiske, Timo Tolkki), and it received amazing reviews from the metal press all around the world, with many naming Lancer ‘a new hope for European power metal’.
LANCER has been busy taking audiences by storm with their energetic and technically brilliant live shows, appearing at festivals across Europe as well as hitting stages with Swedish legends Wolf and Bullet as well as Steelwing and Katana.
