The latest album from DEATH DEALER, 'Reign Of Steel', is a testament to the band's unwavering dedication to traditional heavy metal.

Formed 13 years ago by former MANOWAR legend Ross The Boss and power metal icon Sean Peck, DEATH DEALER has consistently delivered huge doses of the good stuff.

Their fourth album is no exception, bursting at the seams with screaming guitar solos, explosive drums, and vocals that will make dogs shit themselves.

From the opening clangor of 'Assemble' onwards, this is a turbocharged and tumultuous dose of face-ripping heavy metal delivered by some of the finest ever to do it.

The song titles alone should be enough to see off the lightweights: 'Devil's Triangle', 'Riding On The Winds', 'Bloodbath'.

Every song feels like a self-contained tribute to the spirit of our beloved genre, and thanks to a combination of Ross The Boss's unerringly savage riffing and Peck's octave-obliterating howls, the outside world soon ceases to exist.

This is real heavy metal, pure and simple.

From the grandiose pomp of 'Riding Wild And Free' to the stately, mid-paced muscularity of 'Compelled', 'Reign Of Steel' is aimed squarely at the leather-clad faithful, making no concessions to modernity or trend-chasing transience.

DEATH DEALER kick so much ass, you may have to call an ambulance.
