Canadian heavy metal maniacs Striker are ready to set out on a new adventure with their fourth album "Stand In The Fire".
Having made the decision to go DIY and record the album completely at home (!) with the help of Randy Black (W.A.S.P.) and mixing genius Frederik Nordstrom (Bring Me The Horizon, In Flames, Opeth), "Stand In The Fire" turned out to be STRIKER's most uncompromising record to date.

The album is a furious blend of 80's heavy metal, hair metal and even thrash metal accompanied by powerful vocals, catchy choruses and epic harmonies alongside impressive guitar works.

Packed with colossal anthems, this beast is like the ultimate time machine headed for the 80's ' only much better sounding!

The band intensively considered the spreading of a pandemic, known as "the Black Death" in the time of 1347 until 1353. At this time the pandemic infested Europe and claimed around 25 million lives, which was around a third of the European population.
Each song of the album "Imagines Pestis" represents another topic and all of them capture the cruel and outrageous fates at this time.
