│║ Description : ║ │

│║ ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ These guys really convinced me with their ║ │
│║ fantastic debut album, ÆLord Of The WastelandÆ ║ │
│║ in 2010. The band quickly grew out to be one of ║ │
│║ todayÆs most popular NWOBHM bands, which is no ║ │
│║ more than just if you ask me. With their ║ │
│║ traditional heavy metal songs they rocked from ║ │
│║ start to finish and despite the total lack of ║ │
│║ originality they shut friend and foe with their ║ │
│║ powerful songs, outstanding musicianship and ║ │
│║ vocal abilities, and a great dose of enthusiasm. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Almost two years later, then band will release ║ │
│║ the follow-up, æZone Of AlienationÆ, his month. ║ │
│║ I can actually be very short about this record, ║ │
│║ because with their second offering the Swedish ║ │
│║ maniacs strike even harder, louder and more ║ │
│║ convincing than their debut, outdoing themselves ║ │
│║ on every matter. The band has not strayed one ║ │
│║ millimeter from their traditional sound and have ║ │
│║ again delivered a pack of powerful beauties that ║ │
│║ will make most band burn with envy. The songs ║ │
│║ have turned out even stronger this time and ║ │
│║ there where the debut had many highlights, this ║ │
│║ record is one big highlight in its entirety. The ║ │
│║ intro æ2079 A.D.Æ is immediately pure nostalgia ║ │
│║ and fits perfect to the album title and the ║ │
│║ cover artwork. This synthesizer tune takes me ║ │
│║ back to the eighties and fits perfectly to a ║ │
│║ soundtrack of an action/sci-fi movie from those ║ │
│║ days. As the band kicks in with æSolar Wind ║ │
│║ RidersÆ, followed by the powerful æFull Speed ║ │
│║ AheadÆ, there is no turning back and before you ║ │
│║ can even realize it, you find yourself having ║ │
│║ your fist in the air and banging your head. The ║ │
│║ more melodic æBreathlessÆ is definitely a piece ║ │
│║ of beauty as well. Apart from this track the ║ │
│║ rest of the album is mostly up-tempo and in ║ │
│║ songs like æThe Running ManÆ and the ║ │
│║ instrumental æThe Came From The SkiesÆ they ║ │
│║ strongly remind of Running Wild as well. ║ │
│║ However, the gentlemen have again managed to ║ │
│║ come up with enough variety so that the album ║ │
│║ makes stand from start to finish, doesnÆt drop ║ │
│║ any stiches and keeps you focused the entire ║ │
│║ time. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ There where many new bands nowadays make a great ║ │
│║ impression on their first record, but donÆt ║ │
│║ manage to keep the level up on their following ║ │
│║ albums, Steelwing has set a huge step forward, ║ │
│║ blowing any doubt that there might have been ║ │
│║ left to hell. The year has just started, but ║ │
│║ æZone Of AlienationÆ is already one of the best ║ │
│║ true heavy metal albums of 2012. This is ║ │
│║ mandatory for every old-school metal fan and ║ │
│║ fans of bands like Angel Witch, Iron Maiden, ║ │
│║ Striker, Running Wild, Enforcer, Saxon, Skull ║ │
│║ Fist, Bullet, Katana and co. ║ │
