Striker release new video for “On The Run”
Canadian heavy metal rockers Striker have released a video for their song “On The Run” from their latest studio album Play To Win, which finished at #9 on the Sleaze Roxx’s Top Ten Albums of 2018.
Sleaze Roxx stated as follows in regard to that latter finish:
“Just like The Lazys, Canadian heavy metal rockers Striker seemingly keep getting better album after album. Play To Win is Striker‘s fifth studio album and sees the band refining its sound even more to take the mantle as the best “melodic” heavy metal band out there. Having started off as mainly a thrash metal band, Striker‘s evolution from one album to the next is interesting to hear. Play To Win sees lead vocalist Dan Cleary establishing himself once and for all as one of the premier heavy metal singers. Man, that guy can sing! Surprisingly, the vocal harmonies are truly outstanding on Play To Win with the closing track “Hands Of Time” as a prime example. I’ve always struggled with melodic rock albums because I can’t stand hearing keyboard sappy numbers but add a little grit or in the case of Striker, some real heavy metal music, you can end up with a killer album. Striker continue to push the boundaries with their sound while injecting more and more melodies, and keeping their songs a lot shorter. By the way, I am kicking myself for having passed on seeing Striker play live in Toronto earlier this year. What a stupid decision that turned out to be but how I was supposed to know that Striker would be coming up with one of my favorite albums of the year?”
Striker are scheduled to open for the one and only Steel Panther during eight out of nine shows the latter’s Sunset Strip Live! Tour across Canada starting on June 14, 2019.
