Releasedate: 10-03-2015; Label: Despotz Records

The guys of 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. A lot has happened since then. With a new label and a new album Lancer are back. “Second Storm” is the guys’ second studio album. Coming with nine tracks might seem short at first sight but the songs are quite long and so they add up to more than fifty minutes. The longest track on the album lasts for almost ten minutes and is called “Aton”. Speedy sleaze metal with many guitar solos and vocals that remind of 80s metal this album is bringing memories to the head. “Second Storm” literally is as fast as a storm picking you up and taking you along. Lancer is pushing you through each song, with fast rhythms it rides on, not letting you take a breath until it is over. A must have for all metal fans that miss the 80s and early 90s. Check out “Second Storm” now.
