LION'S SHARE: The Unstoppable Force of Swedish Heavy Metal
LION'S SHARE is back — stronger than ever! With six acclaimed albums and a string of successful digital singles, the Swedish heavy metal powerhouse is set to unleash their long-awaited comeback album Inferno on March 27, 2026, through German label Metalville. This marks the band’s first full-length studio album in 17 years, making it one of the most highly anticipated comebacks in the scene.
Formed in Sundsvall, Sweden, in 1987 by guitarist Lars Chriss and keyboardist Kay Backlund, LION'S SHARE quickly carved out a unique sound through relentless rehearsals and high-voltage live shows. Their 1995 self-titled debut opened the door to extensive touring - including full-scale tours and extended runs alongside genuine metal titans such as MOTÖRHEAD, SAXON, DIO, MANOWAR, U.D.O., and DEE SNIDER.
Along the way, LION'S SHARE has collaborated with members of some of the most legendary bands in the world, including KISS, MEGADETH, KING DIAMOND, CANDLEMASS, SYMPHONY X and YNGWIE MALMSTEEN. Albums like Emotional Coma and Dark Hours have earned critical praise for their razor-sharp riffing, massive hooks, and a perfect balance of heaviness and melody.
Since 2017, LION'S SHARE has operated as a dynamic duo, with Lars Chriss on guitar and Nils Patrik Johansson on vocals, calling on trusted friends for live and studio collaborations.
Now, with Inferno, LION'S SHARE is ready to reclaim their place at the forefront of the heavy metal scene — a blazing comeback that promises to deliver everything fans have been waiting for and more.
