In Your Face

Conquered Lands was mixed by Stu Marshall with guitars, drums, and bass treated at Monolith Studios in Melbourne Australia by Chris Themelco,  while the mastering work was done by Maor Appelbaum in Los Angeles, California.  Stu Marshall talks about his mixing and mastering partners “Chris made some amazing things happen to the mix and sound of the instruments and what can you say about Maor?  He is the best in the business right now.  There is no reason to look for anyone else.  He has always been a big supporter too, which is great!”. Coming in at just over 46 minutes, Conquered Lands offers metal heads a no holds barred metal assault that keeps your head banging from start to finish.

Death Dealer mixes classic Heavy Metal with elements of Thrash, Power, and Epic stylings all wrapped around powerful choruses that compel the listener to sing along. Stand out tracks include “Sorcerer Supreme” with it’s dark, mysterious sound and powerful vocals combining to create a great album opener. Another stand out song “Running with the Wolves” has that foot stomping beat and Accept like guitar riffs, topped off with catchy powerful vocals by Peck.
