2014, The Dagger consists of Fred Estby (drums), Tobias Cristiansson (bass), David Blomqvist (guitars) and Jani Kataja (vocals), who have been active in bands such as Dismember, Grave or also Sideburn. The Dagger were formed in 2009 with the aim to create real classic hard rock/heavy metal rooted in blues rock and to perform it simply the way they like to hear it themselves. While legendary acts such as early Iron Maiden, Deep Purple, Judas Priest or Rainbow obviously left their mark on The Dagger, the band does not rely on just resurrecting the 70s/80s era of hard rock but focus on quality throughout the entire album offering heavy to-the-point riffing, strong vocal melodies and twin guitar harmonies in spades. The Dagger stands for eagerly rehearsing, jamming, recording live and writing songs as a unit resulting in an authentic and captivating approach.
