About the album:<\/span><\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
‘Stand In The Fire’<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0is\u00a0STRIKER<\/span><\/strong>‘s most uncompromising record to date. A record packed with incredible riffs and colossal\u00a0anthems, all laced together with epic harmonies. Inspired by legendary bands like Iron Maiden, Striker wears their\u00a0hearts firmly on their battle jackets, soaking up the power and influence of classic rock and metal.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The band; Dan Clearly (vocals) Tim Brown (lead\/rhythm guitars) William Wallace (bass) Adam Brown (drums)\u00a0recorded the album themselves with the help of Randy Black (who filled in on drums while Adam was away\u2026) and\u00a0mixing genius Frederik Nordstrom (Bring Me The Horizon, In Flames, Opeth) giving them not only the time and\u00a0space needed but the freedom to set up the release direct to fans worldwide.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
