New York’s SANHEDRIN have just debuted a new video from their current album, Lights On, that was released Worldwide last March through Metal Blade Records.

Comments SANHEDRIN singer Erica Stoltz: “I wrote the song about an archeological discovery in Russia late December 2019. A tomb was found with the skeletons of four Scythian women warriors aged 12 to 50. They had battle scars and were buried with weapons and horses. It was the best example of pre-Christian female identity I’ve ever seen. The song was my tribute to them, a way to bring their spirits into a new age, continue their story and show what women are able to do.“

As for the video itself, it was animated and directed by Mike “Fox” Foxall, a dear friend from the band hailing from Australia. “We met Mike at the 2019 edition of Hell Over Hammaburg when our band and his (Neptune Power Federation) played together. We instantly hit it off as friends and so working with him for the video was an extension of our friendship. We feel the video captures the energy and themes of the song while also providing a unique visual look and narrative to the listening experience. RIDE OUT!!!“

SANHEDRIN are confirmed to play reknown German festivals “Hell Over Hammaburg” and “Keep It True” in the Spring and have just announced a full trek with none other than ROSS THE BOSS. Full dates below. Comments the band: “We are beyond excited to head back to Europe this Spring. Our appearances at Keep It True and Hell Over Hammaburg have been delayed multiple times, so we are grateful for the day to finally arrive where we can perform at both of them!

We are also looking forward to hitting the road with fellow New Yorker and guitar legend Ross The Boss! He is a true rock pioneer and heavy metal icon, and on this tour he will be celebrating his storied career with a ‘Kings Of Metal’ anniversary performance. It’s been a long time since our last full-scale European tour, and we can’t wait to see you all at the show!“

ROSS THE BOSS Announce Extensive 2022 European Tour Dates

Ex-Manowar guitarist ROSS THE BOSS will be spotted once more on European soil in 2022 – headlining shows on his own and appearing on festivals throughout much of the spring and into the summer (and joined on many of the dates by either Dark Embrace, and The Evolution of Fire Tour 2022 along with RAM, and Trauma ), in support of his last RTB effort, ‘Born of Fire’ on AFM.

“The highest energy set possible,” is what Ross says fans can expect from the upcoming dates. “We are chomping at the bit to play! 100% every tune will be amazing! Of course we will perform my classic Manowar-era epics and crushing new tunes from ‘Born of Fire’!”

‘Born of Fire’ was originally issued in March 2020, and is the group’s fourth album and arrived not even two years after their chart breaking 2018 effort, ‘By Blood Sworn.’ Unfortunately, Ross was unable to launch a proper tour behind the album due to the pandemic. But soon, he will be making up for lost time – with dates running from March through July 2022.

The shows during April will see Ross joined on a bill with Dark Embrace, while RAM and Trauma will team with Ross for much of May – before appearances as part of the Sweden Rock Festival, Big Gun Festival, and Midalidare Rock Festival this coming summer.

“We deliver every night! Metal excitement like no other band can!” And in the new year, metalheads will finally have the opportunity to catch the mighty ROSS THE BOSS where he belongs – on the concert stage.

DEATH DEALER Set To Return With ‘Conquered Lands’, Out November 13th

Posted by tarjavirmakari on September 5, 2020
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: , , . Leave a comment

DEATH DEALER – led by ROSS THE BOSS – have returned for another heavy metal attack with their 3rd record CONQUERED LANDS – to be released worldwide November 13, 2020, through STEEL CARTEL. DEATH DEALER has an all-star heavy metal roster featuring the aforementioned ROSS THE BOSS (ex-MANOWAR) Sean Peck: vocals (CAGE, THE THREE TREMORS, DENNER/SHERMANN), Stu Marshall: guitar (DUNGEON, NIGHT LEGION), Steve Bolognese: drums (ROSS THE BOSS BAND, INTO ETERNITY), and newly added bass player extraordinaire Mike Lepond (SYMPHONY-X, ROSS THE BOSS BAND).  

Ross:  “We have been working on this record for quite a while now and it feels like the perfect time to get this out and give the people a kick ass heavy metal record.  It almost seems like it was meant to be that the album comes out during this time period because people could use this uplifting rock and roll to put some positive energy back into their lives.”

Stu:  “We all worked really hard on this thing and I am really happy with how it sounds.  All the people that helped me with the production really came through, especially Maor Applebaum who mastered it.”

Sean:  “Making an album always is fun and you look forward to the fans’ reaction to it of course, but I really look forward to performing some of these ripping, speed screamers live on stage with the guys – and my new band mate, MIKE LEPOND.”

The DEATH DEALER sound mixes classic heavy metal with elements of thrash, power, and epic stylings, all wrapped around powerful choruses that compel the listener to sing along at the top of their lungs with fists held high in the air. The album’s lead-off track, “Sorcerer Supreme,” can be heard here:

Pre-order here: http://www.deathdealermetal.com/store.html

Their debut album, WARMASTER, was met with critical acclaim and led them to an arena tour opening slot in Europe and parts of Asia.  Their follow up album, HALLOWED GROUND, continued where they left off and quickly helped them build a loyal fanbase aided by their headlining tour in Europe

DEATH DEALER will be supporting their new release with touring and festival appearances in the coming months.

DEATH DEALER has compiled an insane variety of pre-order packages, dubbed “ULTIMATE CONQUEROR PAKS,”  that have combinations of unique digipak, colored vinyl, and merch configurations.  The label STEEL CARTEL has become well known for offering exotic arrangements of unique merchandise products (available here) for the fans at value-rich price points.  This go around, they have a stunning, 3-D Lenticular print of the cover art by DUSAN MARKOVIC included – amongst the other killer items.  “I always look forward to working with Sean Peck on album art,” says Dusan.  “He always brings a fresh idea to the table and pushes me in new directions I don’t normally go.  The ‘CONQUERED LANDS’ cover was fun because I do not do a lot of Egyptian themes and this cover came out great.”

The album was mixed by Stu Marshall, and guitars, drums, and bass were treated at MONOLITH STUDIOS in Melbourne Australia by Chris Themelco.  The album was mastered by Maor Appelbaum in Los Angeles, California.  Stu Marshall talked about the mixing and mastering partners he engaged.  “Chris made some amazing things happen to the mix and sound of the instruments and what can you say about Maor?  He is the best in the business right now.  There is no reason to look for anyone else.  He has always been a big supporter too, which is great!”

Only 3 tracks will reach the streaming platforms for the foreseeable future – this is an “old school campaign,” directed at the true metal supporters and long- term fan engagement.

‘CONQUERED LANDS’ TRACKLIST:

1. Sorcerer Supreme
2. Every Nation
3. Beauty and the Blood
4. Running with the Wolves
5. The Heretic Has Returned
6. Conquered Lands
7. Hail to the King
8. Slay or Be Slain
9. Faith Under Fire
10. 22 Gone
11. Born to Bear the Crown

DIE KRUPPS Team Up With MANOWAR Guitarist ROSS THE BOSS For New Single “No More Heroes”

Industrial Legend meets Metal God on the brand new single “No More Heroes” from DIE KRUPPS and ROSS THE BOSS, which has just been unleashed on the world via Cleopatra Records. Jürgen Engler’s industrial behemoth Die Krupps is considered one of the pioneers of EBM and industrial metal, formed in Germany’s capital city of Düsseldorf in 1980. Meanwhile, that very same year, Ross “The Boss” Friedman, fresh from his stint with influential punk band The Dictators, founded Manowar on the other side of the Atlantic in Auburn NY. Both Engler and Friedman have enjoyed long and illustrious careers since their auspicious beginnings, and now the two have come together for a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration. The song they perform is the enormously significant title track from the 1977 studio album by British rock champs The Stranglers, which The Dictators supported on their No More Heroes UK tour. The song, which name checks several recently passed historical figures, is a fitting tribute to the also recently passed Stranglers keyboardist Dave Greenfield, one of the last heroes of British rock, who died in May of this year from complications related to COVID-19.

Engler had this to say about the single, “As a long-time Dictators fan, it’s an honor to have Ross on board for this collaboration. It has been a sad year for music, too many greats have passed. ‘No More Heroes’ seemed like the perfect song to pay tribute to them. And what better way to do it than joining forces with Ross The Boss! No shit, now rock! To The Hilt!!”

The single will be featured on a forthcoming full-length effort from Die Krupps to be released in 2021.

ROSS-THE-BOSS

With “Maiden Of Shadows” ROSS THE BOSS is taking you to northern sounding realms with ancient guitar melodies and gang shouts, choirs and hooks in viking-style. In contrast the clip looks like it was recorded in the 80s with all that vintage effects and filters. A true metal hymn you would not expect – but we promise: you will love it, if you like true heavy metal!

Ross’ latest effort, Born of Fire, will be released March 6, 2020, and is the fourth album of Friedman and his band (with input from mixing engineer Seeb Levermann) – which arrives not even two years after their chart breaking 2018 effort, By Blood Sworn. While ROSS THE BOSS used this time for extensive touring, they still found time to build their latest epics – which will undoubtedly excite fans worldwide.
