Ruthless Reveals New Album "They Rise"

The release date of the new Ruthless album "They Rise" is now set for CD format on January 30th 2015. The pre-order phase will start on January 17th, 2015 in the Pure Steel webshop. The label comments:

"With their EP 'Metal Without Mercy' (1984) and the album 'Discipline Of Steel' from 1986, Ruthless from L.A. got a special place in the hearts of all U.S. metal fans. Since 1990, the Californians were on hiatus for almost 20 years. The revival took place at Keep It True in 2009. Five years later we’re finally proud to announce the first studio album after almost 30 years.

"With 'They Rise' the quartet stick back to their their roots: Classical, straight-forward and sometimes aggressive U.S. metal, powered by a tight rhythm-section, thundering doublebass and great, thundering riffing.

"Original frontman Sammy DeJohn meanwhile sings with a higher voice than known before, but still delivers the aggression of the good, old days. Additionally to the nine new songs we put the whole 'Metal Without Mercy' EP on the album as bonus. With classics like 'Gates Of Hell' and 'Metal Without Mercy' every real metal head will be completely satisfied. Ruthless is back in their old strength; the cult is still alive!"
