Persuader
Persuader is a Swedish power metal band from the city Umeå in the Swedish province of Västerbotten Norrland. The band was formed in 1997, and they have since released three full length albums: The Hunter, Evolution Purgatory, and When Eden Burns. They have a sound similar to bands including early Blind Guardian, Iron Savior, and Nocturnal Rites, although Persuader includes influences of thrash metal also. Members Jens & Emil joined a band called Savage Circus in 2005, started by Thomen Stauch after he left Blind Guardian. A follow-up to the 2006 album When Eden Burns is being written, and is scheduled to be released in 2012.[dated info]
