New album “Reign Of Steel” out in early 2026!
Massacre Records is proud to announce the worldwide signing of US-based heavy metal powerhouse DEATH DEALER!
Known for their uncompromising blend of traditional heavy metal, speed, and power, DEATH DEALER have been setting stages ablaze around the globe since their inception.
The band’s relentless energy, razor-sharp riffs, and soaring vocals have earned them a loyal following and cemented their place among the most exciting acts in today’s metal scene.
The upcoming studio album, titled “Reign Of Steel”, will be released in early 2026 via Massacre Records. Fans can expect a full-on assault of classic heavy metal fury, forged in steel and delivered with the trademark intensity that DEATH DEALER are known for.
The band comment:
“Death Dealer is thrilled to have signed with Massacre Records as they have a long and storied career in high quality releases.
We are very glad to have a new home for ‘Reign Of Steel’. The album signifies as strong and united front of our efforts - Power, some thrash and face melting heavy metal”.
"‘Reign Of Steel’ is a crushing piece of metal delivered by killer band", adds Ross the Boss.
"We wrote this album while locked down in a covid- fueled dystopian reality. It allowed us hours of quality time to focus on writing and recording perhaps our finest achievement yet as a band", states Sean Peck.
"We spent countless hours crafting this album and are very excited to get it to everyone out there. I think it might even contain the
longest continuous high scream recorded...", enthuses Stu Marshall.
Massacre Records’ CEO Thomas Hertler comments: "We are proud to welcome Death Dealer to the Massacre Records family! The band’s all-star lineup and undeniable passion for true heavy metal make them a perfect fit for our roster. Their upcoming album ‘Reign Of Steel’ is a monster of a record that will thrill every fan of powerful, classic metal. The reign begins in 2026 and it will be glorious!"
Formed in 2012 by vocalist Sean Peck (Cage, The Three Tremors), legendary guitarist Ross “The Boss” Friedman (ex-Manowar, Ross the Boss Band), and guitarist Stu Marshall (ex-Dungeon, Empires of Eden), DEATH DEALER quickly established themselves as a force of pure steel. With the addition of world-class musicians Mike LePond (Symphony X) on bass and Steve Bolognese (ex-Into Eternity) on drums, the lineup represents a true all-star cast of heavy metal.
The band debuted with the acclaimed album “War Master” (2013), followed by “Hallowed Ground” (2015) and “Conquered Lands” (2020). Each release further solidified their reputation for powerful, uncompromising metal rooted in tradition yet brimming with modern fire.
Now, with their upcoming fourth album “Reign Of Steel”, DEATH DEALER are ready to unleash their most ambitious and crushing work to date, flying the flag of true heavy metal worldwide.
More details about “Reign Of Steel”, including cover artwork, tracklist, and the first single, will be revealed soon.
Stay tuned for updates and prepare for battle — the reign begins in 2026!
