MEDIEVAL STEEL "The Dungeon Tapes" CD Self-financed
At last, an official cd by this cult band. It contains the four tracks of
the '84 ep, two tracks from the '87 demo, the remaining two other demo tracks
being re-recorded in 2004 with the addition of a new one. MEDIEVAL STEEL is
epic metal at its best, the band having a great song-writing ability and offers
only brilliant songs. The '84 ep is a total masterpiece that is under-rated
or not very well-known. But "Medieval Steel" and "Warlords" are two memorable
anthems to steel that you have to discover before dying. Pure magic steel
! The four tracks of the '87 demo are excellent too, but a little inferior
to the ep. The good news is the 2004 new track "Ghost From The Battlefield"
is in the continuity of the ep ! A fucking hope, isn't it ? But the fact is
MEDIEVAL STEEL doesn't belong to any trends, and I guess it is difficult for
them to find a decent deal with a suitable records label. In the wait of
their first official album (if this event will happen one day...), the spirit
and the music of their steel lives on !
