Steel Angel - 'And The Angels Were Made Of Steel' (trailer)

Το μακρινό 1985 κυκλοφορούσε το (εξαιρετικό) ντεμπούτο των Steel Angel υπό τον τίτλο "...and the Angels Were Made of Steel". Προ τετραετίας (Σεπτέμβριος 2020) η δισκογραφική εταιρεία Cult Metal Classics Records το επανακυκλοφόρησε σε βινύλιο με δύο επιπλέον τραγούδια (εκείνα του ομώνυμου demo των Γάλλων metallers που "βγήκε" το 1984) σε σχέση με τα οκτώ της αρχικής κυκλοφορίας.

Τον τελευταίο μήνα του φθινοπώρου (Νοέμβριος 2024) ο δίσκος θα κυκλοφορήσει για πρώτη φορά σε cd (επίσης μέσω της Cult Metal Classics Records).

Οι Steel Angel δημιουργήθηκαν στο Μπορντώ το 1983 και έμειναν ενεργοί για μία τετραετία (μέχρι το 1987) με δισκογραφικό απολογισμό δύο full length album ("...and the Angels Were Made of Steel." 1985, "Kiss of Steel" 1986), ένα demo ("Steel Angel" 1984), ενώ το 2012 κυκλοφόρησε η συλλογή "Anthology" με όλα τα ηχογραφήματα της Γαλλικής μπάντας.

Δελτίο τύπου: «Steel Angel from France are simply among the most quality French bands of all time. Their two albums are nothing but solid heavy metal with razor sharp riffs, imposing choruses and great vocals.

Both albums contain only classic metal compositions with no filler moments. The last years, both albums have become extremely hard to find in a decent playing condition so it was about time for them to be properly reissued as remastered editions including bonus tracks.

We recently reissued both albums on vinyl, so we decided to also release them on CD format as previously they were only available as a single disc anthology. This is the debut album of Steel Angel featuring immortal anthems like the title track, "Knights of the War" and "The Law".

We also included the two unreleased songs from the demo '84 of the band, as we were able to find very good previously unheard versions of them. Be prepared for a shock if you haven't listened to them as both "Spread..." and "In the Temple..." are on par with the very best tunes the band ever composed.

This edition features remastered sound and insert with photos, lyrics and detailed band story. From this video we prepared for you, you can get a taste of all of the songs featured in the reissue and enjoy pure French metal greatness. The CD reissue is expected by November, 2024.»
