Band:

Steel Prophet

BiografieSteel Prophet is one of today´s most well-known and respected US power metal bands with eight albums under their belt, 3 of them reaching top-notch characters in the German press, a.o. "album of the month" placement in Rock Hard Magazine.



Originally formed by guitarist Steve Kachinsky in the late 80´ies with bassist Vince Dennis soon to follow as the 2 original members left in the band, Steel Prophet is still around to rock the nations. Their tour efforts includes a tour in the United States with Helstar and several European tours with acts such as Gamma Ray, Angel Dust, Lefay, Edguy, etc. Steel Prophet also played countless festivals in the US and in Europe (Wacken Open Air, BYH Open Air, Progpower, Milwaukee Metal Fest, etc.).



Their most recent album, "Unseen" (released August 2002) was their fifth and last album for their old record label (Nuclear Blast). After that the band parted ways with old singer Rick Mythiasin and joined forces with new singer Nadir D´Priest, who in the past released albums with London and D´Priest, a solo record and a feature in "The decline of The Western Civilization, Part II: The Metal Years" to his credit. Nadir´s vocal power fits right in with the Steel Prophet sound, and while staying true to the spirit of the older classics, he interprets them with a fresh spin.



This was also the time, when Steel Prophet joined forces with Intromental Management to let others take over the business side of the band, thus letting the members in the band focus on the important matter: To make music!



Other additions to Steel Prophet are guitarist Pete Skermetta, who stepped into the band in December 2002 as well as the return of drummer Kevin Cafferty, who was last heard on the "Messiah" album four years ago.



Steel Prophet spent most of 2003 writing new material and cohering as a band, and now they are ready to unleash the new monster album "Beware" on Massacre Records in Europe, Canada and Australia.

Mit kaum einer anderen Scheibe habe ich mich in der letzten Zeit so schwer getan wie mit der neuen STEEL PROPHET.

Es gibt Bands, die liefern in regelmäßigen Abständen hervorragendes Material ab, werden in einschlägigen Magazinen und Internetseiten mit positiven Reaktionen überhäuft und schaffen trotzdem den Sprun
