The Moshville Times - 24 Songs of Xmas 2025: Death Dealer

Welcome to day 23 of our 24 Days of Xmas countdown where we add the penultimate track our ever-growing playlist! We are properly in the festive spirit now, and what better way to celebrate the season than with a heavy metal Christmas anthem?

Heavy metal supergroup Death Dealer have returned just in time for the holidays with a little gift for the fans. The band have dropped a newly remixed and remastered version of their take on the classic hymn, “We Three Kings”. While the track was originally recorded ten years ago, the guys decided it needed a fresh coat of paint. They’ve given it a sonic overhaul to bring out the clarity and weight, ensuring those thunderous riffs and commanding vocals hit harder than ever. It’s a proper belter and gives the traditional tune a serious steel-forged edge.

You can check out the video for “We Three Kings” below.

This release isn’t just a festive one-off, though; it’s paving the way for their upcoming studio album, Reign Of Steel. The record is due to land on January 23rd, 2026, via Massacre Records. It’s been a long time coming, with five years of writing and studio work going into it, and promises to be their most ambitious work yet.

If you aren’t familiar with the lineup, Death Dealer is absolutely stacked with talent. The band features Sean Peck (Cage, The Three Tremors) on vocals, Ross “The Boss” Friedman (ex-Manowar) and Stu Marshall (Dungeon) on guitars, Mike LePond (Symphony X) on bass, and Steve Bolognese (ex-Into Eternity) on drums. With a pedigree like that, you know exactly what you’re going to get: pure, unadulterated heavy metal.

The album will be available as a Mediabook CD, digital download, and on vinyl in various colours (Black, Red, Splatter Red/Clear, and Splatter White/Red). You can get your pre-orders in now via Massacre Records.
