Heavy metal is all about melding styles, genres, cultures, and people together. In the case of their Dark Connection Tour 2022, Beast in Black is taking two bands on tour that meld those styles even more. You’ve got power metal, traditional heavy metal, and more on display with Beast in Black, Striker, and Seven Kingdoms. The tour kicks off in Orlando, Florida on April 7th, 2022. The Canadian group is bringing along their new drummer Jonathan Webster and bassist Pete Klassen who joined in 2019.

After a bit of a lull in their recording, Striker unleashed a new single “Deathwish”. The single combines the traditional heavy metal sound with a bit of a poppier arena rock sound, check the video out below.

Striker has released six studio albums: Eyes in the Night, Armed to the Teeth, City of Gold, Stand in the Fire, Striker, and Play To Win.
