“Another Desire” marks the return of Swedish heavy metal legends LION’S SHARE.
The song dives into themes of gangs, loyalty, money, and the destructive pull of addiction — where power and brotherhood slowly turn into chains.

Musically, LION’S SHARE deliver a focused and aggressive track, blending classic heavy metal power with a sharp, modern edge. Heavy riffs, massive hooks, no compromises.

“This song represents exactly where we are today. Heavy, sharp, and straight to the point.”

LION’S SHARE unleash long-awaited comeback album Inferno – lyric video for “Chain Child” out NOW

Swedish heavy metal veterans LION’S SHARE return today with the release of their long-awaited new studio album Inferno, out now via Metalville on CD and vinyl.

Coinciding with the album release, the band have also unveiled a new lyric video for the track “Chain Child” — a fan favorite that captures the raw spirit of classic heavy metal.

Inferno marks LION’S SHARE’s first full-length studio album in 17 years and sees the band delivering a powerful statement rooted in the timeless traditions of classic heavy metal.

Guitarist Lars Chriss explains:

“This album represents everything we love about heavy metal — the darkness, the melodies, the power and the drama. We didn’t want to chase trends. We wanted to make a record that feels honest and true to the music that shaped us.”

“Chain Child” – a heavy metal story brought to life

The track “Chain Child” embodies the classic heavy metal energy that runs throughout Inferno, drawing inspiration from the legendary sound of bands such as SAXON, DIO and IRON MAIDEN.

The song tells the story of rival gangs clashing in the underworld, with the mysterious Chain Child emerging as the toughest of them all.

The character has also become a recurring symbol in the band’s visual identity. The Chain Child appears as the band’s mascot on the artwork of their three most recent releases — including the cover of Inferno — instantly recognizable by its distinctive chain-like arms.

Vocalist Nils Patrik Johansson says:

“It’s a very visual story — gangs fighting in the shadows and this unstoppable character rising above them. That kind of imagery has always been a natural part of the heavy metal we grew up with.”

A return forged in classic heavy metal

Throughout Inferno, LION’S SHARE channel the dramatic, riff-driven sound that defined the golden era of heavy metal between 1980 and 1987 — an influence heard clearly in tracks such as “Pentagram”, “Baptized In Blood” and “Chain Child”.

Rather than revisiting the past as nostalgia, the band transform those influences into a powerful modern statement of classic heavy metal.

Early reactions to Inferno have been overwhelmingly positive, including a perfect 10/10 rating from UK’s Powerplay Magazine, praising the album as a blazing comeback from the Swedish metal veterans.

The album has also already begun gaining traction on US metal radio ahead of its official release.

 

Formed in Sundsvall, Sweden in 1987, LION’S SHARE quickly established themselves as a force within European heavy metal, touring extensively alongside legends such as MOTÖRHEAD, SAXON, DIO, MANOWAR, U.D.O., and Dee Snider. Their critically acclaimed catalog includes albums like Emotional Coma and Dark Hours, praised for their balance of crushing heaviness and melodic strength.

Since 2017, LION’S SHARE has operated as a powerful duo with Lars Chriss (guitars) and Nils Patrik Johansson (vocals), supported by trusted collaborators in studio and on stage. With Inferno, the band are ready to reclaim their place at the forefront of heavy metal.
