STRIKER Announce New Album, Stream First Single ‘Born To Lose’ + USA / EU Tour Dates
Headlining US Tour (WA/OR/CA/AZ/TX/LA/FL/GA/MO/IL/MN)
European Tour Dates w/ Sonata Arctica
There’s no time wasted when it comes to one of Canada’s most thrilling metal bands STRIKER. In 2016, they unleashed their award winning ‘Stand In The Fire’, their fourth album and first release via their own independent label Record Breaking Records. Kicking off the new year! These shredders return in 2017 with their fifth self-titled studio album due out on February 24, 2017 along with tours across the USA and Europe from January till mid April (dates listed below).
The band comments on the upcoming release:
“This is our no bullshit album. We cut out everything that wasn’t absolutely necessary and kept everything short and to the point. We pray at the altar of heavy metal everyday, and there are some musical ideas that persist through time and some that don’t. We focused in on what keeps listeners coming back and got rid of everything else. You can’t climb Mount Everest dragging any useless shit with you; if you want to make it to the top, only bring with you what is absolutely necessary: Lethal Amounts of Shred.” .
STRIKER has launched a pre-order campaign with immediate download of their streaming first single ‘Born To Lose’ at the following link here. (Pre-order campaign will run from January 9th till the end of the month.)

0 Maximum Volume Music – Jupiter Hollow – Odyssey
Impossibly young Canadian duo deliver quite a trip
When a prog band emerges with their debut EP and the two people in it are 18 and 21 respectively, you are more than entitled to feel old. When a prog duo emerges with as much talent as Jupiter Hollow you are entitled to feel excited about the future…A band this brimming with ideas will at some point in their careers deliver a masterpiece. This is an incredible start.
