After more than twenty years of silence, the legendary rockers Sha-Boom return stronger than ever with their explosive new album, “Another Nail In The Coffin”, which is scheduled for release on August 28 via Silver Lining Music.
Pre-orders available from April 29 at this store .
Sha-Boom started out in Stockholm in 1987 and, within a few months, shared festival appearances with Scandinavian hard rock kings like Europe and Treat . Their debut single, the anthem that opened their fists, “ROCK”, shot straight to No. 1 across Sweden and Norway, and the self-titled album that followed confirmed them as one of the defining melodic rock bands of the era.
After that rapid rise, the band stepped away from the relentless pace of the spotlight, while their music continued to resonate with fans all these years. Now, decades later, Dag Finn – always the driving force behind Sha-Boom – is back at the helm with renewed energy and purpose, ready to pick up exactly where the band left off.

With strong choruses and plenty of smiles, “Another Nail In The Coffin” aims to take you back to times when fun was the main name of rock ‘n’ roll. The first single, “Never Stop” , a pure AOR-style top-down cruise on the highway, was released today.
“This is one of my favorite tracks on the record and I couldn’t be more proud of it”, exclaims frontman Dag Finn. “It combines folk influences with the energy of stadium rock. Keep on ROCKING!”

“Another Nail In The Coffin” is an album that bridges generations with an uncompromising rock ‘n’ roll touch. “Walk (Far Away)” is a grand, multi-layered rock ‘n’ roll sea shanty with a touch of sparkle, “Another Nail in the Coffin” has the swagger and mood of early Def Leppard, and “One More Drink for the Road” sees the Sha-Boom family pass through an entire generation, as the daughter of Finn’s longtime friend and collaborator Thomas Vikström (Therion, Candlemass), singer Linnéa Vikström of Thundermother, joins the party.
The result is a record that gives a sense of vitality, with the undeniable spirit of a band that once helped define a scene and now refuses to be just a memory. Produced and mixed by renowned producer Erik Mårtensson (Eclipse), “Another Nail In The Coffin” is a trip back to the serene ’80s, when songs and melodies really mattered, with Sha-Boom ready to remind the world why their name still echoes in the history of Scandinavian rock.
Sha-Boom not only announced an explosive new album, but are also preparing for their long-awaited return to the stage, ready to reclaim the spotlight worldwide, including an appearance at the famous Sweden Rock Festival on June 6, while more dates will be announced soon.
