Lifer is a 5 piece Rock/Metal band from Stockholm, Sweden.
In 2012 the band recorded an Demo EP called ‘Beneath the strain’. It was recorded at "Gutter view studios" in Solna,
Stockholm and was produced by Fred Estby (Dismember, Carnage, Grave, Caliber 666 and more…).
Several shows were played and was highlighted by the 4th place in the Emergenza festival.

In autumn of 2012 the band decided to become even more serious with their music, which ended with two members leaving the band and a new drummer and bass player were recruited to form the current Lifer Lineup:
Joakim Honkanen (vocals), Johannes Huysmans (guitar), Kim Juhlin (guitar), Johan Eriksson (drums, Malte x, Apes IQ) and Eddie Siojo (bass, Betrayed, Crawlpappy, Mindshift).
The writing process started right away, and in the Spring of 2013 the search for the right Recording Studio began, and ESTA-Studio with Jari Lindholm behind the tools turned out to be the best choice.

Two Songs were recorded, 1. Rise 2. Outlaw. Recorded and Produced by Jari Li
