Metal Shock Finland is proud to premiere for Europe the new video ‘Iwo Jima‘ by Swedish metallers LANCER. Check out the dramatic video below, based on the Battle of Iwo Jima, which took place in World War II:

‘Iwo Jima‘ is the second video to be released from forthcoming album “Second Storm”, due out on 10th April via Despotz Records. The album 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 first video for ‘Masters And Crowns’ can be seen here.

Oscar Dronjak from HAMMERFALL gives “Second Storm” high praise, stating:

“Damn, this album is good! I love the new edge in the sound, it’s a little bit heavier than the debut. This record really establishes the Lancer sound! Now, I’ll give it a second spin, but I already know it will be a new favourite of mine.”

Metal Shock Finland Senior Manager Blackdiamond expresses:

“If you’re a fan of classic metal don’t miss these guys! Evoking metal sounds of the ’80’s, mixed with their own unique top quality sound, LANCER have paved a great road ahead, I wish them every success!”

The album has been 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 LANCER 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.

1. Running From the Tyrant

LANCER met at the Music Academy of Ingesund in Arvika, Sweden, and the common passion for heavy metal forged them together and LANCER was born. They invaded the metal scene in the spring of 2012 with their debut EP “Purple Sky”. The EP got a warm welcome from all around the world and gave the band a record deal with the Swedish label Doolittle Group AB, owned by the world famous metal vocalist Christian Liljegren (Narnia) and a deal with Japanese label King Records at this time.

In early 2013 the follow up to the “Purple Sky” EP, LANCER’s self-titled debut album was released world wide. The album was produced by Tommy Reinxeed and Ronny Milianowicz (previous collaborations with Hammerfall, Michael Kiske and Timo Tolkki to name a few!), and it received amazing reviews from the metal press all around the world. Japanese Burrn Magazine gave the album 75/100 and Sweden Rock Magazine 7/10, naming the band a new hope for European power metal, and it received even higher grades from several European and American reviewers. LANCER’s music videos for the songs Purple Sky and Young and Alive have also been aired on Metal Hammer Greece’s own TV channel.

Since then LANCER has giged on several festivals and rock clubs, together with bands like Steelwing, Wolf, Bullet and Katana, and was soon hailed to be the new rising star on the Swedish Heavy/Power Metal sky. With their energetic and technically brilliant live shows, these young musicians deliver the full package and have taken the world by storm the past 2.5 years.
