Lance King

Lance King is an American heavy metal vocalist. Lance has sung for many metal bands all around the world throughout his career including, "Defyance", "The Kings Machine", "Empire", "Gemini", "Decibel", "Magic Kingdom", Balance of Power, Pyramaze, Shining Star, and Avian. He is known for singing in a traditional metal style with falsetto vocals in the mold of James Labrie, Bruce Dickinson or Geoff Tate. In 1990 Lance founded the St. Paul, Minnesota based Nightmare Records Inc. which specializes in Progressive Metal and Power Metal and has a large selection of Christian Metal artists. He originally founded the label in order to get the music of his band Gemini out to the world. Lance is still the owner and head of Nightmare Records and since its small inception in 1990, it has continued on to sell over 2,000,000 albums.

In late 2006, word came out that Lance King had departed from what many people thought was going to be his new permanent band, Pyramaze. King has since been replaced by former Iced Earth singer Matt Barlow. He is currently working on a new Avian album, on which he will be singing and producing. Lance will aso be sharing vocals alongside a female opera singer on the debut release from a rising progressive metal group called "Salinoch" which is set to be released by SHK Records in Switzerland. He will also be singing on a new progressive shred project titled the "Secret Society of Starfish" which will be comprised of the bassist and drummer of "Dimension X", guitarist Troy Stetina, and a mystery guitarist who is said to be a well known rock star. He will also be singing with a Texas band called "Krucible" and will be performing with them at Texas Madfest and the ProgPower USA Showcase.

Lance King himself is a Christian and some of his hobbies include food, martial arts and of course, metal music. He is married with a son and a daughter, whom he lives with in Minnesota.
