STRIKER have been riding quite the bullet train this year in support of their latest self-titled album released this past February via their indie label Record Breaking Records. Touring Europe with Sonata Arctica plus performing on 70,000 Tons of Metal along with an Edmonton Music Award win for Metal Recording of the Year, there’s no stopping these Canadian metal titans.
Currently on tour with Dark Tranquillity and Warbringer in North America (dates listed below), this power quartet have unleashed their new music video
“Former Glory”. The video captures the classic heavy metal of past and showcases
STRIKER bringing it to the forefront of present day headbanging.Watch

STRIKER‘s self-titled album features 9 shredding tracks that are all killer and no filler to continue the band’s classic mix of heavy metal to follow 2016’s highly praised “Stand In The Fire”. The album was self-recorded by the band (Dan Clearly (vocals), Tim Brown (lead/rhythm guitars), William Wallace (bass), Adam Brown (drums) plus help from Randy Black (Primal Fear, Bif Naked, Annihilator) who filled in on drums while Adam was away during recording) along with mixing done by genius Frederik Nordstrom (Bring Me The Horizon, In Flames, Opeth).
CD and digital download available on www.Striker-Metal.com, iTunes, Amazon, Spotify and CD Baby.
