DEAF DEALER

Debut album from 1986 by Canada's DEAF DEALER and one of the hidden gems of the North American Speed/ Heavy Metal scene. Formed by former members of D.D.T., the band crafted an intense and technically accomplished style that, despite never achieving the recognition of some of its contemporaries, has since earned cult status among fans of powerful traditional Metal.

"Keeper of the Flame" blends the energy of classic Speed Metal with the strength of traditional Heavy Metal, driven by sharp riffing, fast-paced guitar interplay and a vocal performance full of power and melody. The album stands out through its balance of aggression and memorable songwriting, showcasing a level of quality that places it among the most interesting releases from the Canadian underground of the mid-1980s. A criminally overlooked classic that deserves far greater recognition.

Recommended for fans of: EXCITER, AGENT STEEL, SAVAGE GRACE, HELSTAR.
