Bio:
Death Dealer is an American power metal band founded in 2012.It's hard to argue with the pedigree of a band that includes members that worked with Manowar, the Dictators, Rob Halford, Lizzy Borden, Udo Dirkschneider, and Cage. And that's exactly who the members of the newly launched Death Dealer were previously associated with - vocalist Sean Peck, guitarists Ross the Boss and Stu Marshall, bassist Mike Davis, and drummer Rhino.As evidenced by their debut album, 'Warmaster,' Death Dealer's mastery of authentic metal has been put to use straight away. "The Death Dealer sound is a mighty combination of five very talented, seasoned musicians," explains Ross. "It's classic power metal with the brutal edge of thrash, speed, and precision."In an era where computer technology is king, it was through the internet that Death Dealer was formed. Ross: "Death Dealer formed early 2012 when Stu Marshall and Sean Peck who had collaborated previously, met Mike Davis and Rhino when on tour in California. Stu was blown away by Sean's vocal abilities and a bond was formed. Around February, Sean would send me messages on Facebook now and then, and Stu started talking to me as well. The conversation quickly went to, 'Hey Ross, would you like to play on some songs we've done?' I said sure, not knowing what it would sound like.""Well, after they sent the first tune over, I was blown away, then Stu and Sean tell me they want me to join this band, called Death Dealer. I say, 'Who else is in the band? They say, 'Rhino on drums.' I'm in! Stu goes, 'It was either you or we would have approached KK Downing to be on guitar.' Wow!" As heard on such tunes as "Death Dealer," "Never to Kneel," and "The Devil's Mile," for fans of authentic, no-holds-barred, manly heavy metal, 'Warmaster' is an absolute godsend. And soon, Death Dealer will be converting metalheads worldwide to their cause. "Our future plans? Obviously to put Death Dealer on the worldwide metal map, and to engage large crowds and render them shocked and satisfied."And according to Ross, fans attending Death Dealer performances can expect a set list that will draw upon more than just material from 'Warmaster.' "Death Dealer will play other tunes - especially some classic Manowar tunes that I have written. Also, you never know what cool rock n' roll tune we could deliver. This band is deadly serious, but humor and fun are a big part of our makeup."Make no mistake about it, Ross the Boss has returned with a vengeance, as heard throughout the killer debut release from Death Dealer, 'Warmaster.'With the debut slated for an early 2013 release, these five will forever be known as Death Dealer!
Death Dealer is:
Ross The Boss: Does this legend require an introduction? While with Manowar, Ross not only influenced legions of aspiring musicians, but he was also part of classic albums that have sold more than four million copies worldwide. In addition to releasing two acclaimed albums with the Ross The Boss band, New Metal Leader and Hailstorm, he recently toured with ex-Dictator band mates as a member of Manitoba.Rhino: This one-man wrecking crew built his reputation as the drummer for Manowar, Holy Hell and most recently Angels of Babylon. Rhino is also an acclaimed singer, songwriter, guitarist and producer.Stu Marshall: The Sydney, Australia guitarist/producer achieved fame as the lead guitarist for Dungeon. He is also the mastermind behind Empires of Eden, which led to his working such metal heroes as Udo, Rob Rock, Mike Dimeo, Steve Grimmett, Zak Stevens and many more.Mike Davis: Making a name for himself as the ‘go to guy’ in his days with Lizzy Borden, so when the Metal God himself, Rob Halford, put out a call for bassists, producer Roy Z knew Mike was the perfect fit. Known for both his abilities and killer live stage presence, Mike was also Death Dealer’s first and only choice.Sean Peck: One of metal’s most illustrious voices, Peck recently celebrated his band Cage’s 20th anniversary. Referred to as “The man of a thousand voices,” he has been compared to such names as Halford and Dickinson, and this assemblage of talent allows him to show off every part of his God-given instrument.
Album:
Heavy metal supergroup DEATH DEALER, featuring members like Sean Peck (Cage), Ross “The Boss” Friedman (Manowar), master shredder Stu Marshall (Night Legion, Arkenstone), top bassist Mike LePond (Symphony X), and drummer Steve Bolognese (ex-Witherfall) will unleash their new CD “Reign Of Steel“.et for release on January 23, 2026, via Massacre Records, the new album offer ten tracks of powerful, uncompromising U.S. melodic metal with intricate guitar work and high-octane vocals. The album showcases the band’s signature style, blending heavy riffs with epic themes.These cats know how to deliver the goods, the classic U.S. power metal DNA is pleasantly present all over, and the result is fresh, modern, and consistently well-crafted. Music of relentless speed and ferocious power, built on a rhythmic core that moves with the solidity yet flexibility of a finely honed steel blade, boasting the UNIQUE, magical guitar touch of Ross “The Boss” and the unbelievably untouchable voice of Peck.DEATH DEALER’s music is based on the aggressive, charging ’90s JUDAS PRIEST attitude and the sharp speed reminiscent of PRIMAL FEAR and FIREFORCE, those distinctive moments of theirs—whether built on catchier, more recognizable patterns, or on the provocatively wild push to their absolute limits.The new album opens impressively with “Assemble”, a rousing call for molten-hot metal that grabs you by the throat instantly. There’s a strong continuation with “Devil’s Triangle”, which carries that subtle oddness along with shifts in rhythm and tone that deliver an ornate side of DEATH DEALER that stands out effortlessly and majestically.Next comes “Riding On The Wings”, where the tempo drops and the focus shifts to a catchier expression and an anthemic chorus. Then “Bloodbath” arrives with supersonic velocity and relentless blasting, pure metal kick.Logically, “Raging Wild And Free”, despite its title, lowers the intensity again but keeps the melody in a SAXON-styled, hymn-like mode, managing to balance the development and musical storytelling of the album extremely well.Next is “Blast The Highway”, which, now framed within the album, gains a different dimension compared to when I heard it alone as a single. It doesn’t offer any grand surprise, but it serves the flow excellently and injects renewed energy into the tracklist.The tone shifts with “Compelled”, a midtempo track with a menacing character, and although simple in structure, DEATH DEALER manage to transform it into one of the strongest tracks of their upcoming work.“Dragon Of Algorath” arrives to once again bare the band’s sharp, bloodthirsty teeth, biting down hard with a fierce, sweeping piece where Sean Peck haunts our ears with unbelievable screams, while the Friedman / Marshall duo truly embroider their guitar solos!The album closes with its longest tracks, both surpassing six minutes. And they are both amazing pieces of metallic edge. “Sleeping Prophet” is a slow, heavy, imposing piece with classic heavy metal strength, a dynamic outburst in the middle, and a haunting bassline leading into a wonderful solo. Truly, literally CLASSY material. We Love it.The record ends with a definitive power song, the fantastic “Reign Of The Night”, where DEATH DEALER display their objective capabilities once again in the best possible way—another personal favorite.“‘Reign Of Steel’ is a crushing piece of metal delivered by a killer band.” Ross The Boss Friedman declares proudly. And I agree 100% without a shred of doubt.Because, ultimately, “Reign Of The Night” is more than a worthy successor to “Conquered Lands“, which marked the first evolution in the band’s sound after their first two albums. This evolution continues on the new record, with the band sounding tight and irited, with many very good songs and an unwavering appetite for a merciless, boundless heavy metal orgiastic feast.From a production standpoint, “Reign Of Steel” comes to life under the co-production of Stuart Marshall and Sean Peck, whose combined vision shaped the album’s aggressive precision and melodic grandeur. Mixing and mastering were handled by Chris Themelco at Monolith Studios, giving the record its massive, high-impact sound.
