The release date of the new DSG album "Still A Warrior" on CD is April 24th 2015. The preorder phase will start on April 10th 2015 in our webshop.

Known for being a member of MANOWAR between 1988 and 1994, DAVID SHANKLE still is a fantastic guitar player for all true metal fans.

He was involved in the songwriting with hymns like "Ride The Dragon" and "Master Of The Wind”.

On many tours he also became a very well appreciated musician for all "Manowarriors”. For 13 years, DAVID SHANKLE has been enjoying a solo career, as evidenced by the two albums, "Ashes To Ashes" (2003) and "Hellborn" (2007). Pure Steel is very proud, to release the third album "Still A Warrior," after eight long years of waiting for the next strike.

Powerful and modern played US Power Metal meets sophisticated arrangements. The technical, shred‐styled guitar of the master himself can be heard very well in many solos and the final instrumental, "The Hitman". The powerful, high‐pitched powerful vocals of Warren Halvarson (also in Damien Thorne) shows their unique charisma. "Still A Warrior" confirms: friends of US metal with a classical shred guitar influences will completely be satisfied by their hero again!

The new album of DSG "Still A Warrior" is now available in our webshop. Safe 1 Euro during the preorder time. The official release date of the album is the 24th of April 2015.




"I'm very happy to say that I feel this is the best DSG record to date," says Shankle. "I also feel this is the best DSG band out of all three of them so far. I'm very proud of everyone of these guys great job they did on the record." Joining Shankle in DSG are vocalist Warren Halvarson, bassist Mike Streicher, and drummer Gabriel Anthony. "With new singer Warren Halvarson, new bass player Mike Streicher, and our new drummer Gabriel Anthony, this is by far the BEST line up to date."

For 13 years, Shankle has been enjoying a solo career, as evidenced by the two albums, 'Ashes To Ashes' (2003) and 'Hellborn' (2007). And 'Still A Warrior' does not disappoint, as it features both metallic anthems (the title track) and instrumentals ("The Hitman") with such guest artists as Michael Angelo Batio, Joe Stump, and Parker Lundgren from QUEENSRYCHE. Also, the "Demonic Solo” (from the movie 'Jezebeth') is being hailed as one of the fastest guitar solos in the world.

Shankle: "I think the new DSG record, 'Still A Warrior,' is a combination of the best from the 'Ashes to Ashes' and 'Hellborn' CD's. A lot of great melodic vocals and full neo-classical shred guitar in your face.” 'Still A Warrior' confirms: friends of US metal with a classical shred guitar influences will completely be satisfied by their old hero again!
