Clocking in at just under 70 minutes, 'Dead End' immerses the listener with an onslaught of powerful vocals, blistering guitars and a thunderous low-end section. 'Dead End' runs the gamut of the band’s musical abilities and artistic visions focusing on memorable choruses and riffs while maintaining an aggressive nature throughout the entire release. The album also includes a guest solo from fellow PureSteel recording artist and former Manowar guitarist, the 'Shred Demon' David Shankle.
The album was recorded at Black and White Studio’s in Mokena Illinois and was engineered, mixed and mastered by Matt Motto (Dissona). Once again returning to handle the artwork duties is incredible freelance artist, and graduate of the American Academy Of Art Lucas Durham. The cover features the return of 'Little Gracie', who has become a staple of all band merch and has become the mascot of the band.

BIOGRAPHY
Scars of Armageddon (SOA) is a American Power Metal band hailing from Chicago, Illinois. Dave Kraus (vocals, guitars), George Lohan (guitars, vocals), Paul Postelnik (bass) and Jason Krieger (drums) have developed a unique blend of power metal, with hints of Prog and Thrash peeking through.
Since the band’s inception in 2011, SOA self released their first LP and has played more than 100 shows in the Midwest that has seen them share the stage with national acts such as Primal Fear, Anvil, Riot, Into Eternity, Grim Reaper, Helstar, Leatherwolf, Nonpoint and more.
SOA has been featured on numerous radio stations throughout the United States, Europe, South America and Japan. Additionally, the band maintains an active social media presence on Facebook and Instagram, and its music can be found on bandcamp, iTunes, Pandora, Amazon, Reverbnation and Youtube.
In describing SOA’s music and 2013’s “Never Sleep Again” EP, Geoff Teach, formerly of Rock in Chicago Magazine, said, “Scars Of Armageddon has hit a home run with this album, ladies and gentlemen, and I, for one, am completely floored by “Never Sleep Again” and the quality of the compositions and production therein.” He continues, “Never Sleep Again” is modern power metal at its finest, plain and simple, and I can’t stress how much I suggest you check them out today!” In addition to its focus on providing high-quality recordings, SOA is dedicated to delivering a high-energy, fun and solid live show.
From a recent review of an SOA show, Metal Kaoz states, “The four-piece band did not let anyone down and, in fact, raised the spirits with their highly energetic power metal. This is definitely a band to keep on your radar, if you fancy this guitar-shredding, up-tempo power metal.”
