Things are looking better than ever for Generation Steel! The quintet from Wetzlar/Germany, has reinvented itself on all fronts and is set to take the music world by storm with it's upcoming third studio album, Steelmachine. With the addition of guitar wizard and songwriter Thilo Herrmann - who made his debut in 1985 on the FAITHFUL BREATH classic "Skol" and has written heavy metal history throughout his career with RISK (including "Ratman"), RUNNING WILD (including "Black Hand Inn", "Masquerade"), and GRAVE DIGGER (including "Ballads of a Hangman") - bandleader and guitarist Jack the Riffer now has a living legend by his side. There has also been a change behind the mic: from now on, Swedish vocalist Mike Stark - who currently sings for the Argentinian band FEANOR and the Swedish group STORMBURNER - is setting the tone. His powerful, high-pitched yet dynamic voice gives the new tracks an absolute seal of quality. Generation Steel stands for authentic, traditional, '80s-influenced heavy metal, combining the styles of ACCEPT and JUDAS PRIEST. The ten neck-breaking tracks on the band's third full-length album were produced by Piet Sielck (IRON SAVIOR), who has previously refined classics by GAMMA RAY, GRAVE DIGGER, HEADHUNTER, STORMWARRIOR and BLIND GUARDIAN. The cover artwork, designed by Gyula Havancsak (who has also created artworks for POWERWOLF, ACCEPT and BLIND GUARDIAN, among others), is equally eye catching. Anyone who loves honest, traditional German metal will quickly embrace "Steelmachine", because the quintet not only takes us back to the '80s, but also shows just how timeless true metal is. Ten home runs, including the four singles "Steelmachine", "Witches Cross", "Wings of Fire" and "Fields of Pain". Stay Metal - Stay Steel!
