British Steel
British Steel - The Rising Force Of British Heavy Metal Something appetising is brewing - come take a sip. Blighty (thats Great Britain to you non-Brits) 2017, the ostensible home of Heavy Metal, is spawning quality and varied acts ready to compete with the best of our neighbours. A younger generation, brought up with a broad knowledge of heavy music, have decided that they arent interested in pushing the boundaries of technique, production and extremity. Instead, these bucks seek only to find their own sound and write songs of the quality they grew up with on the family stereo. This passion for heavy music gives these sons of their fathers the confidence to make exactly the music they want. Accusations and labels like retro and old school roll like water off a metallic aquatic. If you plug away passionately for more or less ten years to tiny crowds with little or no support, its hard to engage with such negativity. And make no mistake, all of the acts here live and breathe this stuff. Theyve been playing since they were teens, youll see them front row at all the shows, and if no-one is offering gigs theyll put them on themselves. And its no lie to say we had too much choice for this Steel platter. Our cup overfloweth! So is this a movement? Do we name it and define it? Nope, for to do so would allow us to dismiss it and this varied buffet is not going away. So lets introduce the players... Amulet, Aggressive Perfector, Eliminator, Dungeon, Dark Forest, Toledo Steel, Vuil, Seven Sisters, Insurgency, Neuronspoiler and Wytch Hazel.
