The
history of Steel Attack goes back to 1995, in 1998 they released a demo
tape that got them
signed to AFM Records, a year later the debut album “Where Mankind
Fails” was Released,
a superb power metal release that sound a lot like fellow Swedes
Morifade.
The
second album “Fall Into Madness” came out in 2001, the music
continued in the same direction
but it is just a notch better than “Where Mankind Fails”. The
next two albums “Predator of the Empire” and “Enslaved” was
released by Arise
Records, the music style changed to a mixture of power metal and neo
classical metal.
After
the split with Arise Records in 2005 Steel Attack inked a contract with
Massacre Records.
The
new album “Diabolic Symphony” continues in the tradition from the
two previous albums, Swedish
metal somewhere between Tad Morose, Nocturnal Rites and Morgana Lefay. Everything
sounds tight and perfect and the vocals kicks serious ass, but I must
admit that I
like the two first albums more than this one. But
if you are into the 3 above-mentioned bands you should definitely give
this one a try.
Recommended
tracks: “Winterhell”, “I Bow My Head” and “Shallow Seas of
Hatred”.
