About the album:
‘Stand In The Fire’ is STRIKER‘s most uncompromising record to date. A record packed with incredible riffs and colossal anthems, all laced together with epic harmonies. Inspired by legendary bands like Iron Maiden, Striker wears their hearts firmly on their battle jackets, soaking up the power and influence of classic rock and metal.
The band; Dan Clearly (vocals) Tim Brown (lead/rhythm guitars) William Wallace (bass) Adam Brown (drums) recorded the album themselves with the help of Randy Black (who filled in on drums while Adam was away…) and mixing genius Frederik Nordstrom (Bring Me The Horizon, In Flames, Opeth) giving them not only the time and space needed but the freedom to set up the release direct to fans worldwide.
‘Stand in The Fire’ available on limited edition orange vinyls at Striker-Metal.com plus digitally on iTunes, CD Baby.

0 Absolute Underground Mag – April-May 2016 – Striker – review
0 Worship Metal – Striker – Stand In The Fire (Record Breaking Records)
We’ll jump straight into the fire and say traditional heavy metal trailblazers Striker have upped the ante on album number 4, scoring a massive hit rate with 11 tracks of blazing heavy metal beamed in directly from the decade that chrystallised metal’s core sound; the 80’s. In fact, Striker traverse every metal sound the 80’s had to offer with wild abandonment and apparent ease; straightforward Priest and Maiden worship nestling nicely next to the beefy pop-metal of Warrant with a bit of thrash quite literally “Locked In” here and there.
