Deuterman Productions Presents: Steel Panther and Black Stone Cherry

STEEL PANTHER: As political correctness suffocates and squeezes the last drop of fun from popular culture, four men boldly plant their flag (and maybe another appendage) into the ground in the name of heavy metal...Now, Steel Panther—Michael Starr[lead vocals], Satchel[lead guitar], Lexxi Foxx[bass], and Stix Zadinia[drums]—have certainly waved the flag for sex, drugs, and metal to the point of keeping this holy trinity alive since emerging in 2000. However, they fulfill(i.e. engorge)this mission to its fullest potential on their fifth full-length,the aptly titled Heavy Metal Rules. The solos screech louder, the vocals soar higher, the drums hit harder, and the bass throbs mightier than ever before. “You’re going to hear something familiar, but you’realsogoing to hear something new,” says Michael. “We grew as musicians and as people. The core values stay the same: Heavy Metal Rulesand hot chicks are fun.”

BLACK STONE CHERRY: In the past two decades, Black Stone Cherry has set a new standard for Southern rock, revitalizing the tradition with burly riffs and stirring rock hooks. Since their formation in 2001, the four-piece brotherhood has remained Chris Robertson, vocals/guitar; Ben Wells, guitar/vocals; Jon Lawhon, bass/vocals; and John Fred Young, drums. Though not blood relatives, the guys grew up together, immersed in the culture of shit-kicking rock n’ roll. Young's dad Richard, and his Uncle Fred, are two founding members of the iconic country-fried rock n’ roots band The Kentucky HeadHunters, and the high school-aged boys came up bashing away on their instruments in the group’s notorious Practice House, a 1940s bungalow.
