Steel

[kev_uk]

A while ago my friend sent me 3 MP3s of Mikael's side project called Steel who play 80s kinda Judas Priest hair metal stuff. Very funny stuff, only a joke around band I believe.

On one of the sites in the links it says a 7" is getting released with the 3 songs they made, and I was wondering - has it been released and where can I get it? Also anyone know if Steel has a website?

Thanks guys.

The 7" was released, and contained those 3 songs. They don't have a website, and I'm pretty sure that Dan Swano said that the project was done (as I don't think he enjoyed the resurgence of 80s-type power metal bands like Hammerfall). I really don't think it's that great a loss, as Swano's high-pitched vocals here really grate on me (I think this was intentional too, as this project was a bit of a joke), but "Say Goodbye to Love" has some good regular singing from Swano (as opposed to the high-pitched screeching of the other songs and the rest of "SGTL"). I think the 7" is now out of print (I don't think many were pressed in the first place).

sorry guy... anyway, the link exists, and there you can download the 3 songs of the 7"

Darn...i thought you meant the movie Steel with the BEST actor ever....Shaquille O' Neal.......HAHAHAHAHAH! ... god that movie sucks

I have the MP3s I just want the 7" for the sheer collectability of it! I've read about Steel on Swano's website and on the link on one of the better Opeth fan sites.

They should rerelease the 7"! And make an album

I think I have those three songs somewhere on my harddrive!! Stay tuned....

Good luck finding the 7" as it's very rare. Lee_B got a copy of it recently, but he's got the connections.

I've got a copy, its official title is "Heavy Metal Machine", I ordered it from some UG distro, it's a picture EP by the way.

Weren't there two versions of this 7"? One was a regular 7" with a sleeve (and all 3 tracks) and then the picture 7" with just two?

I own the picture disk version and I'm thinking there were only 2 tracks but I'm at work so I can't check!

Later,

Hi Nebs!
Yes you're right I think. The one that's easier to get hold of has 2 songs only - and it's like a colored picture disc with a part of a car on it if I recall. Hard to find, but not impossible....yet.

I think the original had all 3 songs but I don't know what it looks like, never seen it nor probably ever will. I don't know how many was made of the actual original, but I'd say about 5 or so. ha hahha.
(just kidding, no idea how many)
