CD/DVD Releases: Lion's Share - New Album Artwork Unveiled

Posted on Sunday, February 01 @ 21:00:00 UTC by nightowl

Swedish melodic heavy metal masters Lion's Share has unveiled the cover art for its upcoming sixth full-length album, Dark Hours. Lion's Share will release its new album in late March 2009 via Blistering Records. The follow-up to 2007's Emotional Coma was mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren (Opeth, Symphony X, Paradise Lost, Amon Amarth) and features guest appearances by Symphony X guitarist Mike Romeo (guest solo on "Behind The Curtain"), and drummers Conny Pettersson (from Earache Records death metal act Anata) and Richard Evensand (Chimaira, Soilwork).

The band states: "The new songs are simply awesome and everybody that has heard it thinks it's our best album to date. The red thread lyric-wise on this album is that all songs are about things that happened in the late Sixties; a decade known for many good things. However, we're not describing the happy times of the Sixties: We give you the 'Dark Hours'. Musically, it's more straight-forward and faster than ever. The songs are filled with energy and great hooks."



Lion's Share most recent album, Emotional Coma, was released in the U.S. January 29th [2008], via Locomotive Music. The CD was issued by AFM Records in Europe and Spiritual Beast in Japan/Asia and features guest solos from ex-KISS guitarist Bruce Kulick, and ex-Megadeth guitarist Glen Drover.
