After a six-year break, Swedish melodic metal masters LION’S SHARE have returned with their finest effort to date, “Emotional Coma”. The revamped outfit, which now features singer Patrik Johansson (ASTRAL DOORS, WUTHERING HEIGHTS) and bassist Sampo Axelsson (GLENN HUGHES) alongside band mastermind Lars Chriss (guitar) and session/non-touring drummer Richard Evensand (ex-CHIMAIRA, SOILWORK, THERION), continues to produce modern sounding heavy metal that revolves around Chriss’ thick, power-packed riffs while showcasing Johansson’s hauntingly melodic delivery. Songtitles such as “Cult Of Denial “, “Toxication Rave”, “Bloodstained Soil” and “The Arsonist” pull few punches, highlighting the band’s heavier, more aggressive approach without sacrificing the traditional elements which made their earlier efforts such cult favorites.
Explains Chriss: “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. The new album is more uptempo, energic and to the point. Gone are the keyboards, big background vocals, and the progressive stuff.”
A member of LION’S SHARE since 2003, Patrik has achieved tremendous success in recent years with bands like ASTRAL DOORS and WUTHERING HEIGHTS. His consistently powerful execution has already established him as one of the most acclaimed up-and-coming singers in the hard rock and heavy metal genres, in the process drawing comparisons to such classic frontmen as Ronnie James Dio and Tony Martin.

This band is so great. Perfect mix of power, heavy, and thrash. And Nils Patrik Johannson on vocals on the latest album, Emotional Coma. The best songs are Trafficking, Toxication Rave, and The Arsonist, but they're all great.
