Former Manowar / Dictators guitarist Ross “The Boss” Friedman will release his ROSS THE BOSS band’s newest album, ‘By Blood Sworn‘, on April 20 via AFM/Soulfood Records.
The band is sharing a new audio-only single, titled “This Is Vengeance“, from their upcoming third studio album release. Streaming below, this new salvo of explosive shred metal from the Dean Rispler-produced album is the embodiment of classic metal-inspired greatness we expect from Ross The Boss.
In mid-April, Ross The Boss will resume its in-effect world tour that is currently underway. The band is taking a three week break after its most recent show in Darien, IL this past Saturday and will pick things back up on the Full Metal Cruise 6, April 15th – 17th.
The legendary guitarist comments: “Ross The Boss band will rip through the US and Canada like a hot knife thru butter! Metal fans in the US and Canada come see and hear what Europe knows to be true… the Ross The Boss Band rules!!”
