Founder and guitarist Michael Amott says about 'Paper Tiger': 

“With Blood Dynasty almost here, we thought we’d sneak in another single for you! ‘Paper Tiger’ is a personal favourite - these riffs are so much fun to play. The accompanying video was shot on a German airfield last summer with our visionary friend Mumpi. Turn it up and let it roar!” 

'Paper Tiger' follows the title track release 'Blood Dynasty', which the band revealed in early December of last year.
