Info:

KATANA from Gothenburg, Sweden is the next big thing in traditional Heavy Metal. They deliver a show that is 100 percent pure adrenaline and will take the audience straight back to the golden age of the early eighties. Since the current line up was established in 2008, KATANA has worked hard to perfect their live acting which includes everything one would expect from a true eighties band, and then some. The music of KATANA is heavily influenced by British and German bands like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Accept. They definitely show that the genre is more alive than ever and the newly recorded debut album will set a new standard for what classic Heavy Metal is supposed to sound like in 2011.
