Artist: DEZPERADOZ
Album: AN EYE FOR AN EYE (DIGI)

Release date: 2008
Media type: CD

The gunslingers are back in the saddle again! 1881: times are hard and the land is open and rough. Young Hank grows up on a farm in the south of Willcox, Arizona and the first thing he learns in life is................TO HATE........

"An Eye For An Eye" tells his story.

A story about a man, who shot his friend out of revenge in 1898 and was condemned to death from the state - all in the name of god.

In this album DEZPERADOZґ well-known style returns with its mixture of "Italo Western" and rough metal sounds. Lead singer, guitarist and songwriter Alex Kraft did it again, he created his own story and composed a merciless sound to it, like all of his work before, this CD has its own timeless statement.

Alex Kraft:
"My new album holds that no religion, no faith, no god can approve violence, brutality and murder, The fervour of faith, the opposition of religions and their interpretation accompanied by violence and frustration, is still the source of all evil. This is what this story is about. It tells us about a good guy going mad in the last days of the Wild West!"

The DEZPERADOZ set their first mark with “The Dawn Of Dying” in 2000 (at that time still under the name Desperados and with Sodomґs Tom Angelripper on vocals). For the second album Alex took over the vocal spot from Tom and the band signed with AFM Records to release “The Legend And The Truth” in 2006. DEZPERADOZ went on tour with Axxis and Krokus, gaining a lot of new fans. In the same year the band was invited to perform at the Wacken Open Air.

With "An Eye For An Eye" the new and now third album from DEZPERADOZ is in the starting blocks, released by AFM Records on 11th of April 2008.

Alex Kraft is back in the saddle with his gunslingers Alex Weigand (bass), Markus Kullmann (drums) and special guest Tom Angelripper. They are the "wild bunch", so watch out! Once more the album was produced by Thomas Lichtenwalter, Dennis Ward (Pink Cream 69) and Alex Kraft. The CD will include 12 brand new smashinґ tracks.

It is another musical epic of the cowboyz, that will kick ass.
