Since 2007, Striker’s been bringing the heat, straight out of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada! And they released a new song with a spooky music video on Halloween!

Circle of Evil is a solid, balls-to-the-wall throwback metal track. The vocal harmonizing on the chorus is fantastic, more songs need harmonizing! The break into the solo is great, just enough of a gap to really land into it and shred.

It’s also great to see such mullety hair and dirty staches in a metal video. Doesn’t always have to be big flowy hair in front of a fan so you look more epic during the solo. Mullets seem to be coming back, because we can’t do anything new anymore. And that’s okay, looking like a reliever from the 1989 Pittsburgh Pirates has to be pretty fun.

This song is great, I’m a big fan of 80’s metal, so when I get more of it I’m pretty stoked. So give it a listen. And then bug your favorite local music booker to get this band in your town.
