Dezperadoz, also known as Desperados (up until 2006), is a band well-steeped in the unique blend of heavy metal and Wild West themed music, often referred to as "Western Metal". The brainchild of guitarist and vocalist Alex Kraft, who is also known for his work with the German thrash metal band Sodom, Dezperadoz merges the aggressive tones of metal with the storytelling and aesthetic of spaghetti westerns. Since its formation in the late 1990s, the band has taken listeners on an auditory journey through the dusty plains and saloons of the Old West, weaving tales of outlaws, gunfighters, and the harsh life on the frontier.

The band's discography, featuring albums such as "The Legend and the Truth" (2006), "An Eye for an Eye" (2008), and more recently "Call of the Wild" (2017), showcases their commitment to their niche. Each track is crafted with a cinematic quality, rich with the twang of guitars reminiscent of Ennio Morricone's iconic scores, and layered with the raw, hard-hitting energy of metal. Songs like "Dead Man's Hand" and "Dawn of Dying" are testaments to their ability to capture the essence of the Western genre and infuse it with the intensity of modern metal. Despite not being mainstream, Dezperadoz has carved out a unique spot in the metal scene, attracting fans who have an affinity for both headbang-worthy riffs and the romance of outlaw folklore.
