│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Steelwing, Steelwing, how happy you make me. ║ │
│║ They were one of the supporting bands on a ║ │
│║ Sabaton tour in late 2010 which had Belgrade as ║ │
│║ one of the dates, and friends of mine who went ║ │
│║ to the show have spent a good chunk of 2011 ║ │
│║ trying to persuade me to check them out. And I ║ │
│║ stubbornly ignored their suggestions for some ║ │
│║ stupid reason. When I finally gave a listen to ║ │
│║ Steelwing's debut, I thought: "This type of ║ │
│║ decent band usually screws up on the second ║ │
│║ album and fades into obscurity, never to issue ║ │
│║ anything good again." ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ I'm glad to say I was wrong. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Firstly, if you dislike everything Iron Maiden ║ │
│║ released in the 80's, avoid this like the plague ║ │
│║ (and probably turn yourself in to the police ║ │
│║ too, because you're the type of person that ║ │
│║ hates cute baby animals, you FREAK). Secondly, ║ │
│║ don't think it's pure Maiden-worship with no ║ │
│║ redeeming qualities that will make you pause it ║ │
│║ and play Powerslave instead. Listening to Zone ║ │
│║ Of Alienation only makes you crave more Zone Of ║ │
│║ Alienation. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Retro metal-playing bands, this is how it's ║ │
│║ done. Wearing your influences on your sleeve ║ │
│║ does not equal being unoriginal and not ║ │
│║ inspired, playing an old style doesn't mean it ║ │
│║ can't sound youthful and vibrant. The ║ │
│║ performance is pretty tight (I'm going to steal ║ │
│║ Lyrinan's "tighter than the band's jeans" ║ │
│║ expression here), especially Riley's vocals ║ │
│║ which show signs of great improvement, but the ║ │
│║ band's greatest "magnet" is their composing ║ │
│║ abilities. Everything is made to sing along and ║ │
│║ air-guitar to, everything is fast, everything is ║ │
│║ cheerful, and when the band goes into ballad ║ │
│║ mode ("Breathless") it still rocks. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Writing reviews like these is hard, because, ║ │
│║ while I know that this isn't everyone's cup of ║ │
│║ tea, I'm pretty sure it has that universal metal ║ │
│║ spirit and enough quality to appeal to a lot of ║ │
│║ metalheads if it's promoted in the right way. ║ │
│║ The only question is whether enough dudes and ║ │
│║ dudettes will decide that a revamp of 80's metal ║ │
│║ is worth their time or will they just listen to ║ │
│║ their old records over and over again? If you ║ │
│║ still aren't convinced, head to their Youtube ║ │
│║ channel for some samples. If it doesn't make you ║ │
│║ smile - too bad, you're missing out. ║ │
