Death Dealer return… unleashed and wilder than ever! The mighty crew of Sean Peck, Stu Marshall, Ross the Boss, Mike LePond and Steve Bolognese deliver their brand-new album “Reign of Steel”—and it’s absolutely infernal! I’m honestly blown away by the immediacy, the raw power, the tension, the adrenaline and sheer velocity fueling this record. Words can barely capture it—raging vocals, guitars that slice like sharpened blades, solos that hit like earthquakes and a rhythm section that crashes down like an anvil on unsuspecting listeners! The entire spirit of American power metal lives inside one album that carries everything we love about US metal! From the likes of Jag Panzer to Anthrax! “Reign of Steel” will knock the breath out of you with its ferocity, firing out track after track you’ll instantly latch onto. There are no weak moments here. There is no silence here. There is only unstoppable heavy metal fire, with five super metal stars giving beyond 100% on every second! The music feels like a wildfire burning everything down to ash. The true essence of heavy metal is found here—and anyone who believes that is damn lucky and blessed! To be honest, I expected something strong with musicians of this caliber, but I never saw this ruthless attack coming! Death Dealer spreads devastation with a super-dynamic, all-star album you’ll fall in love with within seconds. Don’t hesitate—Death Dealer is here to obliterate, blow your speakers apart and explode your sound system! And yes… That really is the “Reign of Steel”.
