Bio:
The steel generation has power, dynamism and is consistently uncompromising. Heavy metal without frills, but with force and modern sound. GENERATION STEEL delivers finest heavy metal with an anthem character, which is influenced by acts such as ACCEPT, DREAM EVIL, GRAVE DIGGER, JUDAS PRIEST, PRIMAL FEAR and U.D.O.The story of GENERATION STEEL is characterized by power and passion. Former DEAD MAN'S HAND and BULLET TRAIN guitarist Jack the Riffer starts his new project 2019 in Wetzlar. After various line-up changes, the rhythm guitarist manages to gather four excellent musicians who have both musical experience and the true Heavy Metal spirit. The band structure initially forms the guitar fraction. As lead guitarist, Pascal Lorenz (e.g. Ex-OSCURA, Ex-CORBIAN) is the perfect addition and writes the songs for the first album together with Jack. Michael Kaspar, who has had success with SQUEALER (including tour support with JUDAS PRIEST), occupies the post on bass. Martin Winter (Ex-SQUAELER), who has a powerfull and groovey drumstyle, can be won as a drummer.The search for a suitable singer will lead to success in early 2020. With the engagement of Rio Ullrich, they were able to win a first-class metal singer who gave GENERATION STEEL the necessary metal attitude and vocal quality.The quintet starts the new decade with breathtaking speed. There are tons of songs that are refined with the enigmatic lyrics by Rio Ullrich and presented on the debut album "The Eagle Will Rise". In March 2020, the band can get a record deal from PURE STEEL RECORDS. "The Eagle Will Rise" will be released worldwide at the end of the year. The artistic production of this album is carried out by none other than ACCEPT guitarist Uwe Lulis. In addition, intensive work is already being done on the live presence, next year the GENERATION STEEL will be on the festival stages!The new generation doesn't need fancy, it needs heavy metal - honest, straight forward and full steam ahead!
Album:
Since the coming of the Old School trend that is among the Metal scene by now, many bands came to follow such way. Some are very good, others not that much, but new names appear every day. One of them is from German quintet GENERATION STEEL, and they’re releasing their first album, “The Eagle Will Rise”. Their music is that old and good form of German Heavy/Power Metal, and they have some similarities with older PRIMAL FEAR, because their main reference lays not on ACCEPT (besides some elements of it appears here and there), but on JUDAS PRIEST. But don’t get the wrong idea: they’re not a copy, but they are just following the same path, but with their own ideas.There’s a perfect balance between aggressiveness and melodies, always using a set of strong melodic hooks. Obviously they have more to offer than is shown by now, but they’re pretty good. “The Eagle Will Rise” was produced by the hands of ACCEPT guitarist Uwe Lulis, and he created a strong and clean sonority for the album. It sounds modern and aggressive, but heavy and clean at the same time. A fine work, indeed.One can say that their songs are made on clichés, but pay attention: they do it on their own way, creating something personal besides the resemblances. And the hooks shown on songs as “The Eagle Will Rise” (fine melodies, excellent harsh voices and good chorus), “Invoke the Machine” (impossible to resist to its appeal, and the vocals are great once more here), “Warbringer” (a traditional German Heavy Metal song, filled with an amazing energy and a heavy weighty rhythm, showing how bass guitar and drums are great on the band’s work), “Temple of Malady” (some modern Power Metal influences from names as ICED EARTH can be heard on some melodies, due the excellent guitar riffs), “Praying Mantis” (come accessible elements can be heard here), “Soulmates” (here, some NWOBHM influences arises from the guitar duets and solos), “On My Way” (a fast song with its focus on the aggressiveness of the vocals and guitars), and “Heaven`s Calling” are enough to earn the bands more fans (and by the way, they deserve).GENERATION STEEL needs to mature a bit more its musical work, but “The Eagle Will Rise” is, by now, a very good release, indeed. Personally, I bet they’re going to be a great name in the near future.
