Persuader
is a Swedish power/heavy metal band that was formed in 1997. A good description of their music would be a mixture of Blind Guardian and Iced Earth with somewhat thrashy/raw vocals. They have released three full length albums: The Hunter, Evolution Purgatory and When Eden Burns.

The band was formed in 1997, and they have since released four full-length albums. 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 and Emil joined the band Savage Circus in 2005, started by Thomen Stauch after he left Blind Guardian.
