THREE TREMORS UNLEASH “FLY OR DIE” VIDEO, TO HEADLINE METALFEST IN SPAIN

Three of metal’s finest vocalists, known collectively as THREE TREMORS - Tim "Ripper" Owens (JUDAS PRIEST, ICED EARTH, DIO DISCIPLES), Harry "The Tyrant" Conklin (JAG PANZER, SATAN’S HOST, TITAN FORCE), and Sean "The Hell Destroyer" Peck (CAGE, DENNER/SHERMANN, DEATH DEALER) - have unveiled the latest video from their self-titled debut, for the track “Fly or Die.” As seen in the striking clip, footage of fighter planes and the Three Tremors singing the tune on a landing strip is on display throughout: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HLu-qi9Vtk&feature=youtu.be

Sean: This video was great to shoot on a bunch of levels. First I am a big war buff and being in the cockpit of that Mustang was incredible. To think all those brave warriors did battle in those tight, cramped cockpits, gives you an entirely new perspective on just how insane it must have been. Next I think the metal godz were smiling on us that day as it was the eye of the storm, and the only clear day without heavy rain for 2 weeks straight. The mountains surrounding San Diego were covered in snow and the air was crisp, it was a glorious day to do this tribute to such an important event in American history. After playing this song live now for over 30 plus shows, a lot of fans have been calling it the “Aces High” of the modern age which of course is the ultimate heavy metal compliment! 

Harry: Best “ hair day” of my life!! Blast being a part of the past! Always the best time of my life filming with my metal brothers!

Ripper: This is another great song to play live. The place always fires off once this song gets going. 

The trio have just wrapped up their first-ever US tour, and are planning on remaining busy - more dates will be announced shortly, including a spot confirmed at MetalFest XIV in Spain on August 3rd. Additionally, the Three Tremors  have received press coverage by the likes of Billboard and Loudwire, plus rave reviews by BraveWords (“It might be early, but I can safely say this will be a top album of 2019”) and Metal Temple (“A splendid vision was put into work, feverishly executed, ending with a strong record”), among other outlets.

And now, metalheads can see what the buzz is about by their latest music video!

Denner / Shermann to release full-length album, 'Masters Of Evil', on June 24th via Metal Blade Records; first single, "Angel's Blood", now online

Twin guitar lengends of Mercyful Fate Michael Denner & Hank Shermann have completed the mixing and mastering of their new Denner / Shermann full-length album, Masters Of Evil - to be released by Metal Blade Records on June 24th. 

The album cover was painted by Swedish artist Thomas Holm, who also created the Satan's Tomb artwork - and who is very well known amongst fans for his standout pieces over the past three decades! The mixing was once again handled by Arnold Lindberg at Sound Industry Studio in Gothenburg, Sweden - who engineered their critically acclaimed EP, Satan's Tomb. Mastering was done once again by Maor Appelbaum in Los Angeles, California. The vintage sound on the new record harkens one back to the days of 2 inch tape machines, long nights in dark studios, and huge consoles glowing under dim incandescent light. 

Masters Of Evil contains 8 new Denner / Shermann tracks that continue right where the EP left off. Building upon the musical foundation of the Satan's Tomb EP, these songs cover the entire gamut of heavy metal nuances and take the listener down a mysterious path where tales of dark, supernatural fantasies are told, transporting you to places that can only be found in the most vivid, blood curdling nightmares. 

Masters Of Evil is fully loaded to satisfy the old fans with just what they would expect - and also injected with menacing, sinister, new surprises that could only come from the sonic DNA of Michael Denner and Hank Shermann. 

"After 'Satan's Tomb', we continued aggressively writing and recording ideas, except for the short break we took to do all the press for the release of the debut. We are very excited with the outcome, and the full-length album is ready to be unleashed this summer," says guitarist Hank Shermann. 

Vocalist Sean Peck comments, "This record really has it all I think. Working with Hank and Michael and the guys creating this record, was the ultimate metal thrill ride for me! I can't wait to hear the fan reaction to this sinister sonic salvo of savagery!" 

Michael Denner also adds, "This new record really shows how the five of us have grown as a band and bonded as songwriters. It contains the kind of compositions I believe our fans would expect from us. I think this release will serve as kind of a tribute to our incredible fans worldwide, as we recognize and acknowledge their die hard loyalty over the years." 

The first single, "Angel's Blood", comes right at you with a sonic sledge hammer! Once the guitars hit your ears, the unmistakable trademark guitar sound of Michael Denner and Hank Shermann is instantly recognized. Prepare yourself for a heavy metal thrill ride! 

To hear "Angel's Blood" and to pre-order Masters Of Evil in various formats, please visit: metalblade.com/dennershermann 

With the upcoming Denner / Shermann release on June 24th, also comes live touring. Ever since the first announcement that this guitar duo was reforming, many show requests have been received from all over the world. Now with a full complement of original songs to draw from, look for the group to bring those to a city near you very soon.

DEATH DEALER GETS IN THE HOLIDAY SPIRIT WITH "WE THREE KINGS" + FREE DOWNLOAD

Death Dealer are out to prove that heavy metal and the holidays can indeed merrily coexist, with a cover of the old-time Christmas carol, "We Three Kings." A video has been filmed for the song (which is a "stand-alone track," as it does not appear on the group's latest album, 'Hallowed Ground'), made by noted European filmmakers Village Road Film. 

The video can be viewed via this link: https://youtu.be/74vtllYwKks

Death Dealer's guitarist, Stu Marshall, was responsible for orchestration and producing the song, while the tune showcases the strength and pure magic of vocalist Sean Peck. The video also expresses the band's wishes for peace on earth especially in light of world activities lately.

Sean Peck said, "Christmas is a very important and meaningful time for me. I have always loved singing the songs that go with the holiday season since I was a kid. If I was not in a band, I would probably be dressed up in a full-on caroling costume, and be going house to house, singing in a group to strangers in the neighborhood. This killer video and song is the next best thing!" 

“‘We Three Kings' is an absolute triumph of a Christmas tale to enjoy for the holiday season!” adds the group's leader/guitarist, Ross The Boss.

The release of "We Three Kings" comes hot on the heels of the group's aforementioned sophomore album, 'Hallowed Ground' (to order, click here http://tinyurl.com/prmq8wp). Featuring members that have previously played with the likes of Manowar, the Dictators, Rob Halford, Lizzy Borden, Denner/Shermann and Cage, Death Dealer are a true heavy metal force to be reckoned with. And "We Three Kings" shows a whole new side to one of metal's heaviest acts.

Death Dealer is in the holiday spirit bringing you their metal take on "We Three Kings"!  download the song for FREE!

Denner / Shermann premieres new video for "Satan's Tomb"

Denner / Shermann recently released their debut, 4-track EP, Satan's Tomb, via Metal Blade Records; today, the legendary guitar duo from Mercyful Fate has launched the video for the EP's title track! Visions of darkness and blood-soaked women drench the digital landscape, while the band performs "Satan's Tomb". 

The video for Denner / Shermann "Satan's Tomb" can be seen here: http://www.metalblade.com/dennershermann 

Hank Shermann comments: "We are happy to be able to release a video for the title track, which was the first song that really got us going as a band. 

Now we are building upon the shadowy metal essence of what we created with the 'Satan's Tomb' EP, and are moving forward with a full-length release for next year." 

Featuring cover artwork painted by Thomas Holm (best known for his work on Mercyful Fate's Melissa and Don't Break The Oath), Satan's Tomb is classic heavy metal infused with an outpouring of Michael Denner and Hank Shermann's signature, dark magic shred-work. According to the formidable guitar duo from Mercyful Fate, rounding out the line-up with Snowy Shaw (King Diamond, Therion, Sabaton) on drums, Marc Grabowski (Demonica) on bass guitar, and Sean Peck (Cage, Death Dealer) on vocals was a critical component to bringing these 4 tracks to life. Their critically acclaimed release has the press and fans both craving for more from this group. 

Denner comments, "Creating these songs with this line-up really ignited my metal fire hotter than ever! I'm sure the fans are going to love this thing."

Shermann adds, "This mix ended up really having an old school feel to it that sounds awesome when blasting at an unhealthy volume."

Guitar Legends MICHAEL DENNER and HANK SHERMANN of MERCYFUL FATE have given an offering of supremely, classic heavy metal infused with an overload of their signature, dark magic shredding. According to the legendary guitar duo, getting SNOWY SHAW (King Diamond/Therion/Sabaton) on Drums, MARC GRABOWSKI (Demonica) on Bass Guitar, and SEAN PECK (Cage/Death Dealer) on vocals, onboard to form the band was a critical component to bringing these 4 tracks to life. Michael Denner added "Creating these songs with this line up really ignited my metal fire hotter than ever!

CAGE TO UNLEASH NEW TITLE ANCIENT EVIL ON THE METAL MASSES

San Diego-based metallists Cage are set to return on October 30th, with the release of their latest metallic tour de force, 'Ancient Evil,' which has been prefaced by a lyric video for the killer composition, "The Procedure" (which can be viewed here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_e119tZud1w).  "We really love how creepy the video came out, it's like a mini movie almost," explains singer Sean "The Hell Destroyer" Peck. "This song will give people a good idea of what they are in for on this massive, heavy metal, horror story thrill ride!" Rounding out the band are Dave "Conan" Garcia (guitars), Casey "The Sentinel" Trask (guitars), Alex Pickard (bass guitar), and Sean "The Thrash Machine" Elg (drums). Based on a horror novel written by lead singer Sean Peck, 'Ancient Evil' continues the legacy of Cage as a heavy metal innovator. This nearly 80-minute monstrosity has 19 tracks that combine songs and narrated interludes to forge a unique musical journey that rocks!  However, according to Sean, making a concept record work is never an easy task - "With this being our 7th release, we wanted to try our hand at another concept album. We had great success with 'Hell Destroyer,' but doing a scary story type of thing and making the songs catchy and memorable while keeping the listener captivated by the content, is a real challenge."  The story's main character, Elliot Worthington, is played by none other than ex-Iron Maiden frontman Blaze Bayley. "I did not want to do any of the character voices this time, so we got some really great talent to act out the scenes. Blaze did an incredible job. His acting chops were freaking great, I have to say," says Peck. "The writing for this record came together effortlessly even though it was a concept record. It is pretty much just blazing fast the whole way through which is just how I like it!" And soon, metalheads will be able to experience Cage's latest metal masterpiece.

Legendary Mercyful Fate guitarists Michael Denner and Hank Shermann prepare to release new album!

Michael Denner and Hank Shermann, the original guitar players of Mercyful Fate's legendary "Melissa" and "Don't Break the Oath" albums, have created a new classic in the forthcoming EP, "Satan's Tomb," coming in 2015 on Metal Blade Records. These songs were crafted with the Mercyful Fate worldwide legion of fans at the forefront of their collective minds. From the first riff to the last wail, one cannot help but feel the magic newly recaptured once again.

The band, which is simply called Denner / Shermann, calls into service a formidable group of allies who were capable of helping realize this menagerie of malice, was a task carefully orchestrated by these metal mad scientists. Shermann first called upon Marc Grabowski (Demonica) to handle the bass guitar, followed by the only drummer that made sense for many obvious aspects, the one known as Snowy Shaw (Mercyful Fate, King Diamond, Dream Evil)! Many voices were considered, but fate lead them to Sean Peck (Cage and Death Dealer). He was not only a fan but had the versatile vocal skills to make the new songs come to life like their fans would expect.

Hank Shermann comments: "We have been writing and recording with an incredible line up of musicians and the fans are in for a dark, classic, heavy metal treat for sure. We wanted to get back to the essence of what we created back in the early 80s" "The music inevitable sounds like you would hope it to be, fans of our early work should be very excited".

Music for their debut release has been completed, and the title of the album is "Satan's Tomb" and promises to be one of the finest pure classic metal releases of 2015.

Brian Slagel adds: "I am super excited to welcome Denner / Shermann to the Metal Blade family. I have known Michael and Hank for more than 25 years. I am honored to be able to work with these two legendary musicians. Really excited to work with all the guys on this exciting new band!"

If you find musicians -and former members- from bands like Manowar (Rhino, Ross The Boss) , Cage (Sean Peck) , Empires Of Eden (Stu Marshall), Lizzy Borden and Halford (Mike Davis) together, nothing can go wrong.

DEATH DEALER was formed a few years ago and is an U.S. Metal - All Star band that already released their debut album „War Master“ in June 2013 as a CD by Steel Cartel Records. Now we release a limited vinyl version of 500 pieces with a gatefold sleeve. The vinyl will come intwo versions 100 pieces of black and blue splatter and 400 pieces of black. So grab em' while they last. Beyond the coolness of vinyl, now's your chance to see the artwork by Mark Sasso in a 12x12 format. Release is expected in April.

Flawless Power/Heavy Metal in the most classic style, with Sean's strongly High-Pitched-Screams which rules through the complete album. Sublime lead guitar by Maestro Ross "The Boss" Friedman tightes double bass drumming of Mr. Rhino transport every Headbanger of the planet into an endless thrill. Hymns like the speedy band hymn full of power and aggression, driven by double bass title track or the stamping monster "Hammer Down" are only one part of the absolute highlights which this album has to offer. 

DEATH DEALER doesn’t have to hide behind the big names of the individual members because it has everything to offer for the followers of traditional Metal culture.

For all people who roll out every time the prayer rug to music monuments like "Painkiller", will have something to look forward to through “War Master”.
