Locomotive Records Goes Into An Emotional Coma On New LION'S SHARE CD


Press Release:

It’s been six years since LION'S SHARE released Entrance. On January 29th, 2008, Locomotive Records will release the band’s fifth full-length album.

Emotional Coma features guitarist/band founder Lars Chriss, vocalist Patrik Johansson (ASTRAL DOORS, WUTHERING HEIGHTS) making his LS CD debut (he has been compared to Ronnie James Dio and Tony Martin), bassist Sampo Axelsson (GLENN HUGHES) and non-touring studio specialist drummer extraordinaire Richard Evensand (CHIMAIRA, SOILWORK, THERION).

With songs about suicide, arson, murder, futuristic drug lords, pimps, armageddon and brainwashing, Emotional Coma’s 11 tracks hit home hard.

“The philosophy of the band is to write great songs from the heart that we are proud of no matter what trends are happening around us,” explains Chriss. “The new album is more uptempo, energetic and to-the-point. Gone are the keyboards, big background vocals and the prog stuff.”

MEGADETH’s Glen Drover guests on lead guitar for the title track, which Chriss calls “a new genre: Doom Ballad!” BRUCE KULICK formerly of KISS guests on lead guitar for 'The Edge Of The Razor', which will be the first video from the album. Mats Leven (YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, AT VANCE, Therion) contributes backing vocals.
