│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Featuring in its ranks a great collection of top ║ │
│║ notch musicians, DEATH DEALER is the perfect ║ │
│║ throwback to a time when Metal dominated the ║ │
│║ music scene. They have hints of JUDAS PRIEST, ║ │
│║ JAG PANZER and of course MANOWAR. Their style is ║ │
│║ straightforward and rips your head straight off. ║ │
│║ They are ready to unleash their debut record ║ │
│║ "War Master" and quite simply, they play Metal ║ │
│║ the way it is supposed to be played. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The band has a high pedigree of musicianship as ║ │
│║ the line up is impeccable. A super group in ║ │
│║ their own right the line up features in its ║ │
│║ ranks vocalist Sean Peck from CAGE and former ║ │
│║ MANOWAR memberÆs guitarist Ross The Boss and ║ │
│║ drummer Rhino. The band has known each other on ║ │
│║ the scene over the last five years and ║ │
│║ specifically over the last year started to ║ │
│║ gravitate towards each other with an idea to ║ │
│║ form a new band. This is not a one off and they ║ │
│║ are adamant to be looked upon as a new band with ║ │
│║ an intention of continuing on in the future. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The band comes across incredibly authentic and ║ │
│║ they play music from their heart. This is true ║ │
│║ Heavy Metal as there are killer guitar riffs, ║ │
│║ shredding solos, insane double bass playing and ║ │
│║ screams that would make Rob Halford proud. The ║ │
│║ song writing sets apart DEATH DEALER as the band ║ │
│║ has constructed catchy, heavy and melodic songs ║ │
│║ that will force you to bang your head and scream ║ │
│║ along.s ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Opening "War Master" is their eponymous titled ║ │
│║ track and it comes out of the gate like a ║ │
│║ bullet. Peck lets loose with a scream to let the ║ │
│║ listener know that we are in PRIESTÆS ║ │
│║ "Painkiller" territory. An aggressive track with ║ │
│║ an excellent memorable chorus that has vocalist ║ │
│║ Peck showcasing his talent as his vocal range is ║ │
│║ downright impressive. Tremendous guitar leads ║ │
│║ with sweeps and the perfect interplay back and ║ │
│║ forth between Ross The Boss and Stu Marshall ║ │
│║ steal the spotlight. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The MERCYFUL FATE influenced ôCurse Of The ║ │
│║ Hereticö shows the band bringing in some ║ │
│║ different influences. Peck does an amazing job ║ │
│║ of embodying King Diamond as he utilizes that ║ │
│║ amazing low growl that King perfected and it ║ │
│║ enhances the song. So many singers forget how ║ │
│║ diverse KingÆs voice is and it is great to see ║ │
│║ Peck capture that. Another killer chorus that ║ │
│║ will be impaled into your head and one that you ║ │
│║ will want to hear over again. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ If you are a fan of classic Metal then DEATH ║ │
│║ DEALER's debut record is going to blow you away. ║ │
│║ I love the inclusion of the slight NWOBHM ║ │
│║ influences and some early 80s Speed Metal that ║ │
│║ is included in their sound. It sets them apart ║ │
│║ from all of the JUDAS PRIEST clones that have ║ │
│║ dominated the power metal scene over the last ║ │
│║ fifteen years. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ I am glad to see DEATH DEALER give time and ║ │
│║ effort to ôWar Masterö because it is a record ║ │
│║ that is as strong as any of the memberÆs current ║ │
│║ or past offerings. The record isnÆt overly ║ │
│║ original but that is preferred. This is a band ║ │
│║ that knows exactly what they are out to ║ │
│║ accomplish and they reinforce their commitment ║ │
│║ to metal with every track. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Ross the Boss û Rhino û Sean Peck û Stu Marshall ║ │
│║ û Mike Davis ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ 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 ægo ║ │
│║ to guyÆ 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 DealerÆs first and only choice. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Sean Peck: One of metalÆs most illustrious ║ │
│║ voices, Peck recently celebrated his band CageÆs ║ │
│║ 20th anniversary. Referred to as ôThe man of a ║ │
│║ thousand voices,ö 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. ║ │
