Defender 03:46
With thunder and lightning He descends from the sky Coming here to save his people From the evil they defy Tyrannies enslave them Rules all the land Making them do their deeds With an iron hand Defender His armor shining bright Glistening in the sun His army lines behind him Ready for the fight Unsheathes his sword Held high in his hand Gives the order to march Into battle with him Defender Defender Defender Defender On the wings of freedom He descends from the sky Coming here to save his people From the evil they defy Unsheathes his sword Held high in his hand Gives the order to march To battle with him Defender Defender Defender Defender Defender Defender Defender Defender

Laceration 04:46
Unsuspecting victims Not knowing their time is near Cold blooded killers Spreading devastation Obedience through fear Laceration of the soul Slaughter of the innocent Mayhem before our eyes Children never getting the chance to live Obedience through fear A laceration of the soul Obedience through pain A laceration of the soul Infants cast into eternal hell In the silence We hear the moans of a dying world Obedience through fear A laceration of the soul Obedience through pain A laceration of the soul Obedience through fear A laceration of the soul Obedience through pain A laceration of the soul

They Rise 05:37
The sun has fallen The skies grow black This evil rises From its graves Mindless monsters With a taste for blood They'll rip your flesh from your bone A man-made virus Has unleashed this hell The dead now walk The earth again Experimental cover-up gone wrong Now mankind fights to survive The dead they rise The dead they rise Death has risen Death has risen Again... Suicide becomes the way for some An escape from this rotting flesh Scavenger we now all become A feast for the undead The dead they rise The dead they rise Death has risen Death has risen Again... The sun has fallen The sky grows black This evil rises from its graves A man-made virus Has unleashed this hell The dead now walk the earth again The dead they rise The dead they rise Death has risen Death has risen Again... Death Death Death

We march upon the capital The time has finally come Tired of the lies we're told The way this country's run They take away our rights Tell us what to do Military or prison state We'll be slaves when they're through Circle Circle of trust Put our trust in politicians A mistake we regret Fighting for our freedom Or live in dictatorship Take a stand as one Let voices be heard Give us back our land See, you don't have a choice Circle Circle of trust Circle Circle of trust Circle Circle of trust Circle Circle of trust Circle Circle of trust

Hang Man 04:00
Running and hiding From the deeds you have done Stealing and killing Swimming in innocent blood This life that you've chosen An outlaw with a gun Inside you're slowly rotting A demon you've become No place you can call home Your family's turned on you Your friends all disown you Everyone looks away Your hatred now it blinds you Your soul it smells of death Lost inside this out-land world A path that you'll regret Now you heel the hangman's noose Wrap around your neck As you try to take One last breath Can you feel the hangman's noose Slide around your neck As you try to take One last One last breath For years you've evaded The long arm of the law In shadows your fear grows now Your time is running out Darkness now surrounds you With every move you make Panic's setting in And death's not far away Your heart it beats faster The time it flies on by Thoughts now betray you You don't know what to do The end is now near You know you're gonna die You'll hang there by your neck Until you're fucking dead Now you feel the hangman's noose Wrap around your neck As you try to take One last breath Can you feel the hangman's noose Slide around your neck As you try to take One last One last breath Now you feel the hangman's noose Wrap around your neck As you try to take One last breath Can you feel the hangman's noose Slide around your neck As you try to take One last One last breath

Sitting here all alone Waiting for the end Tears, they fall From the pain I feel Losing you, my friend Looking up I see your face Fading in the sky Knowing that the day will come When we'll meet again Time waits for no one I've seen so much death Time waits for no one I have my regrets No one waits for me This hurt I know Will fade in time But not your memory Thoughts of you They fill my mind You live inside my heart In shades of dark You're the glowing light Now I'm letting go In the black of night You're shining bright Now I'm letting go Time waits for no one I've seen so much death Time waits for no one I have my regrets No one waits for me Time waits for no one I've seen so much death Time waits for no one I have my regrets No one waits for me

We started this 30 years ago A life we chose to live With the ups, and the downs This dream will never end Out of the ashes We ride Out of the ashes Ruthless rides We're coming back with a big vengeance We hear the roar of the crowd We take the stage The lights go down It's time to turn the page Out of the ashes We ride Out of the ashes Ruthless rides Out of the ashes We ride Out of the ashes Ruthless rides We started out 30 years ago This dream will never end We hear crowd roar as we take the stage We've turned the page again Out of the ashes We ride Out of the ashes Ruthless rides

Frustration 02:52
Keep talkin' your shit You're paranoid Did you ever really wonder Do you really even care Is there some spell you're under Who the hell are you really Frustration down the line Frustration so sublime Frustration what the fuck How much longer can I take it Frustration down the line Frustration so sublime Frustration what the fuck How much longer can I take this shit Keep screaming your shit You're such a bitch Did you ever try to reason Do you ever really think Is there some spell you're under Who the hell are you really Frustration down the line Frustration so sublime Frustration what the fuck How much longer can I take it Frustration down the line Frustration so sublime Frustration what the fuck How much longer can I take this shit Keep screaming your shit You're such a bitch Did you ever really wonder Do you really even care Is there some spell you're under Who the hell are you really Frustration down the line Frustration so sublime Frustration what the fuck How much longer can I take it

Suicide, running in fear Slowly rotting inside Demons from my pass slay me down Locked up in a padded room No longer can I hide The voices in my head are getting louder Systematic terror Shadows on the wall Reflection in the glass This evil nightmare's insanity Spiralling through my mind Bleeding on my brain Distant memories never end Systematic terror Systematic terror

about

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 we’re finally proud to announce the first studio album after almost 30 years.

After the CD release in January follows the album "They Rise" in a limited edition of 250 black copies with printed insert on vinyl.

With „They Rise“ the quartet stick back to their their roots: Classical, straight-forward and sometimes aggressive US Metal, powered by a tight rhythm-section, thundering doublebass 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. Additionally to the nine new songs we put the whole „Metal Without Mercy“-EP on the album as bonus. With classics like „Gates Of Hell“ and „Metal Without Mercy“ every real Metalhead will be completely satisfied.

RUTHLESS is back in their old strength; the cult is still alive!
