It is less than a day before the Brooklyn Thunder Fest commences at Europa in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. This landmark event features New Wave of British Heavy Metal icons Raven, Earache recording artist White Wizzard, Brooklyn’s own Zandelle and Central New York favorite Titanium Black.

The headliner: Ex-Manowar guitarist Ross The Boss and his band, who will be making their U.S. live debut. In celebration of this landmark event, The Ross The Boss Band will be performing songs from Manowar’s first six albums as well as its 2008 debut “New Metal Leader.”

There are very few tickets left for this all-ages show, so act fast.

“It’s certain to be an emotional night for The Ross The Boss Band,” confesses the guitarist. “Our first show in the U.S. of A! What a journey it’s been. In three years, we have gone from playing a one-off ‘greatest hits’ show to recording our debut and then touring the world. To hoist the banner for heavy metal is the greatest honor for us and it is one we will not take it lightly.”

Ross The Boss’s "New Metal Leader" was released in January 2009 via Candlelight/AFM Records. The band will begin record its second effort in early 2010.
