We remain in exciting and excellent Italian underground scene with WILD STEEL. This band is solo project of Andrea De Stefanis a.k.a. Wild Steel. This is third full length opus since the inception of this entity in 2005. The third opus contains eleven songs, one being kind of instrumental epic intro ‘Dragonfly’ reminding me of Italian westerns and giallo horror soundtracks in some segments, maybe it is only me. The music of Wild Steel is power/true metal with lots of speed, up tempo and epic melodies sounding not at all as one man band, but like full orchestrated epic true metal band with symphonic keyboard passages, double bass fast drumming, guitar main melodies switching places with synth keyboard solos and main themes and decent vocals that fit great into music as a whole. Some of the choruses are just made for singing along to, pumping your fist in the air and being glad your metal heart still beats in this world of madness and music sometimes really saves I can safely say. My personal favorites are ‘Age Of Steel’, power ballad ‘Live Again’ and ‘Final Battle’, you find yours by listening to this great opus.
