Steel Attack
Formed in 1995, Steel Attack has now survived more a decade in
the business, recently releasing their fifth album.
In their early days their style was squarely in the
Helloween
/
HammerFall
camp of classic Germanic power metal
(upbeat singalong choruses, swords 'n sorcery lyrics,
driving double-bass drumming), no suprise given song
titles such as "Defender Of The Crown", "Heavy Metal God", etc.,
as well as their signing to AFM Records, a label specializing
in just that style of music
(and, admittedly, Steel Attack would appear to be a perfect
name for such a band).
Over the course of several albums and lineup changes, though,
their style has shifted, as on their 2006
Diabolic Symphony release they are now much more a traditional
Euro metal band and not a stereotypical power metal band,
a welcome progression indeed.
