BLACK STEEL
Relentless Force

Australia's finest power metal band Black Steel returns with a 3 song teaser in
advance of their new CD "Hellhammer" due out later this year.
A word that gets thrown around rather liberally at times is epic
metal. Within this release, a more accurate description would
be hard to find. "Relentless Force" has all the makings of a
straight-ahead Manowar anthem. Strong vocals that are
confident as opposed to over the top emotional, crunching guitars,
and a steady as can be back end from the bass and drums.
"Emerald" sounds as if it has been transformed into an Iron Maiden
meets Artch epic. Phil Lynott would have been proud to hear
such a majestic cover of this timeless composition.
I particularly enjoy and respect bands that pay tribute to Saxon, a
band that I feel has never truly received their just due in the
metal and mainstream media. Black Steel's cover of "Power And
The Glory" pays proper homage to Biff and company with an honest
cover that stays true to the original.
If this 3-song CD single (which is available for sale at the Black
Steel homepage listed below) is any indication, "Hellhammer" should
be one awe-inspiring release.
Track Listing:
Relentless Force
Emerald (Thin Lizzy Cover)
Power And The Glory (Saxon Cover)
