Lancer invaded the heavy metal scene with its first EP, Purple Sky, in 2012, and went on to release its debut self-titled album the following year. Since its inception, Lancer has played festivals and live dates with bands like Steelwing, Wolf, Bullet and Katana, and was soon hailed to be the new rising star in Swedish heavy/power metal. With its energetic and technically brilliant live shows, these young musicians deliver the full package. Lancer’s sophomore effort, Second Storm, is a lesson in melodic metal, drawing inspiration from classic acts like Iron Maiden, Helloween and Gamma Ray. The group joins a long tradition of outstanding Swedish metal bands like Hammerfall, Sabaton and many more.

“We are very happy signing with Despotz Records,” the band commented on its new label home. “This collaboration will be killer! Despotz is an innovative, hardworking label with a holistic approach to the business, making us confident they are perfect for Lancer.”

Ömer Akay, Despotz co-founder, added: “We welcome Lancer to the Despotz family. Expect great things this year from these Heavy Metal Gods!”

Stay tuned for more information on Lancer and Second Storm, out this April on Despotz Records.
