if you've heard new Nightingale... damn he really can. He's pretty versatile, stylistically. I mean, listen to Steel, then Unicorn, then Nightingale, then EoS...

Good Morning USA!
I found this interview about steel
IL: Another man who you have been doing a lot of collaborating with these days is Opeth vocalist/guitarist Mikael Akerfeldt. Enlighten us about the traditional heavy metal project, Steel, you two worked on a couple of years ago. Did you ever release anything?
DS: Yeah. We released a 7" picture disc on Near Dark Productions called Heavy Metal Machine! It contains the title track and "Rock Tonite".
IL: Is the band still active and should we be expecting something from you guys soon?
DS: Steel is just a thing we came up with one day during the recording of Morningrise (Opeth's second opus) We were bored and Peter had gone home and Mike, Anders, and I had nothing to do so I suggested that we should go to the studio and soundcheck the drums some more. We jammed and recorded a stupid track "Guitars & Metal" that lasted for 1 minute. We had a laugh and we named the thing Steel and thought it would be forgotten the next minute. But one thing led to another and years before the return of the German Speed/Power Metal thing we recorded the demo that later was going to be the Steel 7".
IL: Please tell us who else is in the band and what part they play.
DS: I sing, or sound maybe... It's not very nice!!! Mike played guitar, Anders played drums, and Peter played the bass!

Can't find them anywhere. Mike? You got them kicking about somewhere? Or if you could give Dan a bell i'm sure he'd have them.

I really wish Steel would come back together... this is one of the few times (Out of maybe 5) that I've ever listened to the same songs more than once.
EDIT: Once in a row, of course.

Here you can find the lyrics to "Say goodbye (to love)" and a link to a thread where someone tried to figure out the lyrics for "Heavy metal machine" and "Rock tonite"

Bloodbath isn't a joke...NineFeetUnderground said:
Eaten is a "fun" track, however, it's pretty obvious that when Peter replaced Mike on vox, they were trying to make music for the sake of music and not for some sort of inside joke between them.
yeah those posts were a little silly. obviously it's supposed to sound that way. they were trying to recreate the guitar sound from early entombed, especially as found on left hand path. they even took some riffs from that album, eg. the first riff from the song 'drowned'

I dont understand how you can be surprised that people take BB seriously, but you understand how so many dipshits have taken Black Metal, as a genre, seriously for decades.

Bloodbath is awesome... I don't think they should be considered a joke by now.
No need to take them completely seriously, but it's not like they did it because they were just screwing around.

Bloodbath is a Joke band. No questions. You can get quotes from interviews all over the internet.

i find that pretty silly, too, of course
bloodbath, black metal and all the rest of the gruesome death metal are there to headbang to, have fun to, laugh to and listen to...and of course the musicianship is to be appreciated, too. AND IT SHOULD BE LEFT AT THAT. NOTHING ELSE.
