Blistering Records is pleased to announce that Swedish melodic heavy metal masters LION'S SHARE are putting the final touches on Dark Hours, the followup to 2007's Emotional Coma, for release in March 2009.

 

The band states, The new songs are simply awesome and everybody that have heard it, think its 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 60's: We give you the Dark Hours. Musically its more straight forward and faster than ever. The songs are filled with energy and great hooks.

 

Dark Hours will be mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren (Opeth, Symphony X, Paradise Lost, Amon Amarth), and features guest slots from Mike Romeo (Symphony X) guest solo on "Behind The Curtain", Conny Pettersson (from Earache Records death metal act ANATA) - drums, Richard Evensand (Chimaira, Soilwork).
