Teaming with Exclaim, the band is proud to present the Canadian premiere and full album stream for ‘Stand In The Fire’ before its official release.
STRIKER comments on the album:
“We released Stand in the Fire on our own, with no one to tell us what to do. We broke all the rules and wrote our own, and this album is all about perseverance and going out there and getting shit done. We crossed all the lines we could find and gladly jumped outside of typical genre limits. We wanted something new and fresh, and no one could hold us back this time. We hope you enjoy the new album, it’s 100% pure Striker”

‘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.
The band’s first single and music video ‘Too Late’ is streaming here along with a newly posted guitar lesson video on GuitarWorld.com here.
STRIKER will be hitting the road with Primal Fear across Europe in February 2016.

0 Metal Nation Radio – Review – Striker – Stand In The Fire (Record Breaking Records)
they seem to flawlessly blend the aggressive riffing of Primal Fear with the finesse and melodic sensibilities of Firewind. Throw in some very subtle hints of early Ratt with a heavy dose of NWOBHM and the end result is Striker…If you like your metal traditional with power metal overtones and subtle hints of early to mid-eighties glam, then you will love Stand In The Fire.

Guitarist Tim Brown comments on the track:
“Out for Blood is our little slice of 80’s cop-drama saxophone filled metal. We wanted to go completely over the top, stuff it full of solos and crazy shred, and just go nuts on every aspect on the song. Thrash metal Miami Vice!”
