 SACRED
STEEL rose from the ashes of TRAGEDY DIVINE in August 1996. With just 5
demo songs in their back SACRED STEEL got a deal with Metal Blade Records
in the beginning of 1997. Their debut album "Reborn In Steel" was released
in the end of 1997 and got excellent reviews like e.g. "A must have for
any True Metal fan!" (Götz Kühnemund, Rock Hard, 8,5 out of 10
points) or "An ass-kicking album! Don´t miss it!" (Detlef Dengler,
Heavy oder was!?, 10 out of 12 points).
In July 1998 the band recorded their second album "Wargods Of Metal" in
the famous Mohrmann Studios in Bochum together with cult producer and living
legend Bill Metoyer (SLAYER, W.A.S.P., FLOTSAM & JETSAM etc.). Right
after the recordings SACRED STEEL played in front of 15.000 maniacs at
the Wacken Open Air. Needless to say that the critics regarding "Wargods
Of Metal" again were overwhelming!
Early 1999 saw them conquer Europe together with NEVERMORE, LEFAY and NOCTURNAL
RITES. After playing several festival gigs in summer (like the "Mind over
Matter" festival in Austria) SACRED STEEL again played the Wacken Open
Air. In August SACRED STEEL headlined a tour through Germany, Holland and
Belgium supported by DESTINY´S END and WARDOG. More and more gigs
followed with the likes of SODOM, SUBWAY TO SALLY etc.
In January 2000 the time had come to finally record their third Album "Bloodlust"
with engineer Achim Köhler (PRIMAL FEAR, SINNER etc.) in "House Of
Music" Winterbach. The album was produced by SACRED STEEL themselves with
Achim Köhler and the result is mindblowing. Allthough they have, of
course, stayed true to their roots, "Bloodlust" is more varied than the
first two efforts, yet HEAVIER THAN EVER BEFORE! Having already built a
reputation in Europe for being THE 100% heavy metal band, it´s time
for this bunch of metal addicts to take over the world!
