New Metal Leader is the debut album recorded by guitarist Ross "the Boss" Friedman and his German band under the moniker, "The Ross the Boss Band". It was released on August 22, 2008 on Candlelight records in the US and A.F.M. Records in Europe.

Background

While the band is called, "Ross the Boss", Friedman has stated that "It is a real band with each member having his share of the whole." When asked about the meaning of the title "New Metal Leader", Friedman said "There are several reasons why I chose the title. People do consider me a leader in metal. It is a metal record. And I may not be new, but my band certainly is. The last thing I did was Kings of Metal. The title of this new record had to be in the same realm; it had to have the same sick sense of humor."
