Striker reveal more tour dates + new music video “Strange Love”

Edmonton, Alberta-based heavy metal powerhouse Striker have beefed up their upcoming touring plans, which includes North American shows with Beast In Black and Seven Kingdoms, along with a few headlining dates — see all confirmed shows below.

In addition, the band have released a brand new music video for their track titled “Strange Love,” which features the debut of the band’s latest lineup addition of long time friend and guitarist John Simon Fallon (The Order of Chaos) — see the clip below. The track marks the band’s first new music of 2022 since unearthing their previous single, 2021’s “Deathwish.”

“When we wrote Strange Love we were dabbling in the dark arts of funk, and although it really doesn’t sound like it we drew big inspiration from bands like Extreme and Faith No More. It was a bit of a detour on our metal journey, but it was a lot of fun to record. We have one more song to release from that recording session too, which leans even further into that style so keep an eye out for that!” exclaims vocalist Dan Cleary.
