April 21, 2015, 9 years ago
Ruthless will release They Rise on vinyl on May 22nd via Pure Steel Records. The limited vinyl edition consists of 250 pieces (black) and printed insert. The CD was released in January.
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 US 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 they announce the first studio album after almost 30 years.
With They Rise the quartet get back to their roots: classical, straight-forward and sometimes aggressive US metal, powered by a tight rhythm-section, thundering double bass 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.
