The name Ruthless in itself means “without mercy.” Since the early 1980’s, lead by vocalist Sammy DeJohn, the band has stayed true to its style of metal, from the classic first EP Metal Without Mercy (1984) and the debut cult album Discipline Of Steel (1986), to the current albums They Rise (2015) and Evil Within (2019), they’ve never wavered on the power of bands like Judas Priest, Accept and Black Sabbath, always staying true to their roots.
With the mind blowing true headbanger hymn “Soldiers Of Steel”, Los Angeles based cult metal act Ruthless unleash their second single today. The song is a perfect hymn, talking about all those restless hears and metalheads out there, who stay true to themselves. Traditional 80s US metal at its best! Watch a visualizer for the track below.
The Fallen will be available as a CD, two limited vinyl editions (300 copies each) in dark orange & bloody red, as well as along with an exclusive logo bundle shirt at the Atomic Fire Records Webshop, and digital.
“You can expect it to be very powerful with a throwback to the early days of the band. This album will give you everything Ruthless", comments Sammy DeJohn, who founded the band in 1982.
The Fallen will be released on January 12. Pre-order here.
