Dezperadoz (formerly Desperados) is a German "Western metal" band and is the side project of Onkel Tom guitarist Alex Kraft. Formed in 2000, the band plays heavy metal music that is heavily influenced by the soundtracks of the 1960s and 1970s Spaghetti Western movies. Dezperadoz has released four albums, two on the German heavy metal label AFM. They have also had guest appearances by many notable heavy metal musicians including Michael Weikath, Tobias Sammet, Joacim Cans, and Doro Pesch. Alex Kraft (Onkel Tom, Sodom) started Dezperadoz originally as a project under the name "Desperados" with Tom Angelripper (Onkel Tom, Sodom) on vocals. The intention was to transfer the rough atmosphere of old Italo-Western movies into today's world of rock and metal. After the release of Dawn of Dying (2000, Drakkar Records), Dezperadoz saw a longer work break and some lineup changes. Alex Kraft decided to take over the lead vocal part. In 2006, Dezperadoz release the second record, The Legend and the Truth, produced by Dennis Ward (Pink Cream 69) and published by AFM Records. The record turns out to be a concept album which brings to life the Western legend Wyatt Earp, musically.
