Former MANOWAR Guitarist DAVID SHANKLE Returns With New DSG Album 'Still A Warrior'

April 9, 2015

Known for being a member of MANOWAR between 1988 and 1994, David Shankle remains a world-renowned super-shred guitarist and instructor for all true metal fans — as heard on the upcoming third full-length offering by his band, DAVID SHANKLE GROUP (DSG),titled "Still A Warrior". Due on April 24 in Germany and April 28 in the rest of the world via Pure Steel Records, the ten-track CD is sure to please long-time fans of the fleet-fingered talents of Shankle.

Joining Shankle in DSG are vocalist Warren Halvarson, bassist Mike Streicher and drummer Gabriel Anthony.

"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 every one of these guys. [They did a] great job on the record.

"With new singer Warren Halvarson, new bass player Mike Streicher, and our new drummer Gabriel Anthony, this is by far the BEST lineup to date."

For 13 years, Shankle has been enjoying a solo career, as evidenced by his previous 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 QUEENSRŸCHE. Also, the "Demonic Solo" (from the movie "Jezebeth") is being hailed as one of the fastest guitar solos in the world.

Says Shankle: "I think the new DSG record, 'Still A Warrior', is a combination of the best from the 'Ashes to Ashes' and 'Hellborn' CDs. A lot of great melodic vocals and full neo-classical shred guitar in your face."
