I&#8217;m very proud of everyone of these guys great job they did on the record.&#8221; Joining Shankle in DSG are vocalist Warren Halvarson, bassist Mike Streicher, and drummer Gabriel Anthony. &#8220;With new singer Warren Halvarson, new bass player Mike Streicher, and our new drummer Gabriel Anthony, this is by far the BEST line up to date.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For 13 years, Shankle has been enjoying a solo career, as evidenced by the two albums,  &#8216;Ashes To Ashes&#8217; (2003) and &#8216;Hellborn&#8217; (2007). And &#8216;Still A Warrior&#8217; does not disappoint, as it features both metallic anthems (the title track) and instrumentals (&#8220;The Hitman&#8221;) with such guest artists as Michael Angelo Batio, Joe Stump, and Parker Lundgren from QUEENSRYCHE. Also, the &#8220;Demonic Solo\u201d (from the movie &#8216;Jezebeth&#8217;) is being hailed as one of the fastest guitar solos in the world. <\/p>\n<p>Shankle: &#8220;I think the new DSG record, &#8216;Still A Warrior,&#8217; is a combination of the best from the &#8216;Ashes to Ashes&#8217; and &#8216;Hellborn&#8217; CD&#8217;s. A lot of great melodic vocals and full neo-classical shred guitar in your face.\u201d &#8216;Still A Warrior&#8217; confirms: friends of US metal with a classical shred guitar influences will completely be satisfied by their old hero again!<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;STILL A WARRIOR\u2019 TRACK LISTING:<br \/>\n1.
