2–4 minutes

Swedish heavy metal veterans Lion’s Share make a powerful return with the release of “Another Desire”, the latest single from their long awaited album “Inferno,” which arrives on the 27th of March through Metalville.

Inferno” is the band’s first full length studio album in seventeen years and has already become one of the most anticipated metal releases of the year. “Another Desire” sets the tone with commanding riffs, towering hooks and a lyrical theme that explores the darker side of loyalty, temptation and control.

Vocalist Nils Patrik Johansson explains the heart of the song. “The lyrics of ‘Another Desire’ deal with gangs, brotherhood, money, and the destructive pull of addiction. It is about loyalty, power, and how easily you can become a slave to drugs and desires you think you control until they control you.”

Musically, the track captures Lion’s Share at their most focused and intense. The band combine the weight of classic heavy metal with a sharpened modern edge that reflects both their long standing identity and their renewed creative hunger.

Guitarist and founding member Lars Chriss describes the track as a statement of intent. “This song represents exactly where we are today heavy, sharp, and straight to the point. After all these years, it felt important to come back with something that hits hard both musically and lyrically.”

With six acclaimed albums behind them and a strong run of digital singles in recent years, Lion’s Share now prepare to unveil their most ambitious work to date. Chriss views “Inferno” as a defining moment for the band. “For us, Inferno is more than just a new album it is a statement. We have spent years writing, refining, and pushing ourselves harder than ever. The goal was simple make the strongest, heaviest, and most focused Lion’s Share record of our career. I honestly feel we have achieved that. This is the album where everything fell into place.”

Johansson adds that the long break between albums ultimately strengthened the band’s resolve. “Taking 17 years between albums was not the plan, but it allowed us to come back with fire in our veins. We have never sounded tighter, and we cannot wait to bring these songs to the stage. This album has the attitude, the hooks, the power… everything that made us fall in love with heavy metal in the first place. We are incredibly proud of “Inferno”.”

Formed in Sundsvall, Sweden in 1987 by Chriss and keyboardist Kay Backlund, Lion’s Share built their reputation through relentless rehearsal and electrifying live performances. Their self titled debut in 1995 led to extensive touring, including major runs with Motörhead, Saxon, Dio, Manowar, U.D.O. and Dee Snider.

Over the years, the band have collaborated with musicians from some of the most influential acts in metal, including KISS, Megadeth, King Diamond, Candlemass, Symphony X and Yngwie Malmsteen. Albums such as Emotional Coma and Dark Hours earned widespread praise for their powerful riffing, memorable hooks and balance of melody and aggression.

Since 2017, Lion’s Share have operated as a core partnership between Chriss and Johansson, supported by long time collaborators in both studio and live settings.

With “Inferno,” the band are ready to reclaim their place among the leading forces in heavy metal. The album’s artwork and full track listing are presented below.
