Imaginative album title, not very.

Hmm if you want to hear totally innovative music then I'll suggest you stop listening to metal and find something else

 

[mugabe]

I haven't heard the music. The album title sucks, though. How many records already has that title? 200?

 

[flo]

just listen to the music! if you like bands like manowar, thor, running wild or metalucifer you will also like steelpreacher!

I hate to say it, because I'm sure these guys are metal to the core, and they've got attitude...but I have to be honest. This sucks. I downloaded the two MP3s on their site, and it sounds more like they're making fun of metal than championing it. The riffs go nowhere and repeat too much. The singer sounds like he's constipated. Sounds nothing like Running Wild or Manowar...it just sounds like all the bad Maiden rehashing that's giving "true metal" a bad name. I wish bands wouldn't do that.

It's funny how Steelpreacher have three songs with the word "steel" in the title and two with the word "Metal". Sounds like when me and my friends jam in our Manowar parody band, Dude-O-Battle...

Who was that one band who did an album called Metal to the Metals? I'm not one to rag on people for not having a firm grasp of English...but couldn't anyone have at least told them that was horrifically stupid?

that band was goddess of desire, the new band of some members of the dutch 80s legend defender! but they don't play this style of power metal that most people call "true metal" today. they sound like a mixture of carnivore, venom and motörhead! i like their sound and the live shows are fantastic, with fire spitting, dancing girls, impaled skulls etc. etc.
i don't care about such small problems as band english. i am very much into japanese metal and these bands skeak REALLY bad english ... bands from greece and italy as well!

i like steel preacher very much! of course the song structures are kind of simple, but i think that complicated and progressive song structures would not fit them at all! and running wild's songs are also veeery simple structured ... their last albums did all sound exactly the same! and the drum computer running wild use is really bad :-D
i would always prefair to listen to a band like steelpreacher to listening to one of the boring helloween- and maidenclones of today! but that's just my opinion

Isn't everybody almost a clone of somebody?

 

[flo]

is that important?

Hmm..knight has a point. When one in a subgenre of metal does something diffirent and it works, then you'll have shitloads of bands who will do the same. But hell..if you're looking for boundry pushing music..don't look into metal

bah! there's plenty of room for innovation in metal, I think. Metal's a very simple idea - it's music that's all about POWER, in different forms. Apply that to almost anything, and you have a unique style of music which can come under the heading of metal. Really, I think it's only going to get more interesting from here on out.

oh yeah, and I think i'm one of the few people who think that the past few Running Wild albums (Black Hand Inn, Masquerade, Rivalry, so on) have been some of the best straightahead metal albums ever. Everyone seems to hate everything they've done after Death or Glory, and I can't understand why. Oh well, to each their own.

and I don't have a problem with simple song structure...it's when a band repeats the exact same sequence of four notes over and over and over. You want to grab the bandmembers' by the necks and shake them until they start playing somehting different, lol.

 

[flo]

hehe... what yo said sounds right. but i can't remember that the songs were that simple. i will listen to them again and aim my attention on this point. when i listened to "into war" i got the feeling that this song was full of power! it sounds like some crazy metal people playing the music they love!

I like intricate songstructures. In my vision a brilliant album/song is one you'll have several times to listen too before you can comprehend it. It's more rewarding to me
