Dagger is a hard rock / heavy metal band from Stockholm , Sweeden , formed in 2009 by eperienced musicians Fred Estby (Necronaut , Dismember) David Blomqvist (Dismember) Tobias Cristiansson (Grave , Dismember ) and Jani Kataja (Sideburn) .
Their first release is this 7" out by High Roller Records titled "Mainline Riders" . Side A of the 7" is a cover of the Nwobhm legends "Quatz" and their song "Mainline riders" . I guess that's a good move , and , although the band does not give it's own signature on the song they predispose us for the band's future .
Side B is the bands first original song "Dark cloud" , and i found it very interesting . It starts from the beginning with a strong riff , followed by some nice vocal lines from Jani Kataja . Catchy chorus and nice bass fills . The sound is very decent (over-production is useless in the genre) and overall is a great song .
I think Dagger's first work is very good , but i would like to listen to some more original work of them to have a complete perspective .
