Hi Kittybeast, hi Wheezer, thanks for your kind words, guys!
Yes, Wheezer, the bands you mentioned have been two of my favourite groups for years and I think that they surely influenced my way to write songs somehow... and after all, the whole Steel Seal project is inspired to a fusion between traditional '70s oriented hard rock and contemporary neo-classical power metal, so those bands are surely a point of reference for our music.
"By the Power of Thunder" is doing really well, it's a month and an half since one can find it in the Bestsellers at several sites and presently it is n. 12 at Amazon.com, Hard Rock and Metal section:

and n. 57 in the Hot New Releases:

... thanks to you all that liked and supported the album! We love you!
Yes, Kittybeast, DC's vocals are really superb... I think that our songs fit very well to his style and give him very good bases to express his potential at its best... and about the start of something great, I can tell you that our next album will be even better that the first one, guys, I've a lot of very, very good new material to develop for your ears!
OK, guys, I'll keep you informed about the further developments, in the meanwhile take care and and all the best to you! Rock on!
