Up-and-coming Swedish heavy metallers Lancer have signed a contract with German metal giants in Nuclear Blast. The first results of this fruitful union can be reaped very soon. After working on their third record, Mastery has been finished, and the ten-track opus is set for a January 13th, 2017 release. Once again, the cover artwork was created by Dimitar Nikolov (Ross The Boss, Majesty). The final layout was done by Marcelo Vasco (Slayer, Machine Head). Check it out.

As if this wasn't enough, Lancer will be opening for heavy metallers HammerFall on their upcoming European tour in January 2017. Intergalactic space metallers Gloryhammer will be completing this powerful touring package.

Singer Isak Stenvall stated: "I'm super excited, all the songs are killers, the cover artwork is fantastic and the sound and production is flawless. The fact that we will release the album on Nuclear Blast, and that I just got the news that we're playing in Tokyo in November, plus a European tour with HammerFall and Gloryhammer in the beginning of next year just makes me even more excited over this release!"
