GOTHENBURG, Sweden – Swedish heavy metal band Metal
Raider has released a new single, “Chaos Reigns,” ahead of the planned release
of their debut full-length album in 2027.
Based in Gothenburg, Metal Raider plays classic heavy
metal, characterized by riff-driven songwriting and anthemic compositions. The
band’s sound draws comparisons to established acts such as Accept and Judas
Priest.
The group was formed in December 2017 by vocalist
Michalis Rinakakis and guitarist Johan Scheuer. Drummer Kane Svantesson joined
in early 2018, completing the lineup.
Rinakakis has also been involved with several other
projects, including Event Horizon X and Dragonrider, and is a former member of
Air Raid and The Silent Rage. Svantesson is also associated with the band
Destiny.
Metal Raider’s music combines twin-guitar harmonies
with high-register vocals. Lyrically, the band draws on Greek mythology,
fantasy, science fiction and philosophy.
The band is part of the New Wave of Traditional Heavy
Metal, a movement within the underground metal scene that revives the stylistic
conventions of the genre’s early decades.
“Chaos Reigns” is the band’s most recent release.
Metal Raider is currently preparing its debut full-length LP, which is
scheduled for release in 2027. Details such as the album title, track listing
and label information have not yet been announced.
