Finnish rock band Shiraz Lane unveil today the new single and official music video, “Stone Cold Lover”, taken from their latest studio album, “In Vertigo”, out now via Frontiers Music Srl.
The band commented: “The official music video for “Stone Cold Lover” blends explosive live energy with behind-the-scenes moments, seasoned with professional studio footage. That balance mirrors the past year for us perfectly – finalizing “In Vertigo” in the studio, then taking those songs out and ripping them live. We also knew this track needed a powerful visual to match its intensity and to truly do justice to the banger it is.”

“In Vertigo” marks a bold new chapter in Shiraz Lane’s evolution. It’s an ambitious, modern,
and emotionally charged rock album born from relentless creativity, exploration and
collaboration.
It’s a bold and genre-blending record, produced and co-written once again by longtime collaborator Per Aldeheim (Def Leppard, H.E.A.T, Pain). Packed with razor-sharp hooks, soaring melodies and high-octane attitude, “In Vertigo” pushes the band’s sound into exciting new territory, fusing pop-metal energy with a modern production edge and fearless genre crossovers.
Preceded by the explosive singles “Dangerous”, “Bullsh!t”, and the emotionally charged “Plastic Heart”, the album showcases Shiraz Lane’s evolution while staying true to their raw rock roots.
With Aldeheim’s polished yet powerful production and standout performances by Hannes Kett (vocals), Jani Laine (lead guitar), Miki Kalske (rhythm guitar), Joel Alex (bass), and Ana Vilkkumaa (drums), “In Vertigo” is the band’s most daring and dynamic release to date.
Brilliantly unpredictable and unapologetically melodic, In Vertigo proves that Shiraz Lane is not just riding the wave of modern melodic rock – they’re reshaping it!
Hailing from Vantaa, Finland, Shiraz Lane started their musical journey in 2011. Their vision of a perfect blend of sonic combustion and elegant delicacy started to blossom and reach its potential when the current line-up was solidified in 2014 and the band released their first EP “Be The Slave Or Be The Change”.
The band gained great international attention from the very beginning, and soon the young Finns
were flying from Japan to South America, playing in Europe’s coolest clubs & summer festivals and had their warm first contact also with the US audience on the Monsters of Rock cruise.
Shiraz Lane resonates through their double-edged guitar sound (provided by Jani Laine and Miki
Kalske), percussive ground-pounding clockwork (Ana Vilkkumaa, drums & Joel Alex, bass) and the supersonic melodies chanted by lead singer Hannes Kett. They are one of the most intriguing and entertaining bands in the current Hard Rock scene, bringing in a fresh breeze in terms of both compositions and live performance.
In addition to their debut EP, other most notable releases include the albums “For Crying Out Loud”, “Carnival Days”, “Vibration I”, “Forgotten Shades Of Life” and “Acoustic Archives’’.
Although wearing inspiration and paying homage to their predecessors, the sound and style of Shiraz Lane is unique, bold and contemporary. This has manifested in collaborations such as extensive international touring (sharing stages with bands such as KISS, Deep Purple, H.E.A.T &
Crashdïet), national TV appearances, the gaming world and, most importantly, an exponentially growing & dedicated fanbase around the world.
