War Related Statement

Hok-key does not support Russian aggression and is strongly against this war. We see that Ukrainian cities and civil objects are being bombed – this is a war crime. We see that the territory of Belarus is used for these attacks, but Belarusian people do not want this war. We urge everyone to stop this madness. We stand with Ukraine.

Danish metal band STEELBOURNE sign with Wormholedeath for the reissue of ‘A Tale As Old As Time’!

Danish Metal Band STEELBOURNE have signed with Wormholedeath a licensing deal for the reissue of their album “A Tale As Old As Time”, due for re-release on April 29th, 2022 worldwide.

Steelbourne stated, “We are beyond excited to initiate a joint adventure with WHD and look forward to introducing the world to our classic heavy metal, with a contemporary twist. We are confident that the WHD team consists of rock stars who can help us take the Steelbourne name to the next level. A Tale as Old as Time was written and recorded at home, first and foremost for us (the band), but with the reception we have received so far, we simply have to share it with more people. Carlo and the team have our complete trust in this endeavor.”

“A Tale As Old As Time”
The album itself is classic metal at its best, inspired by giants such as Maiden, Priest, Helloween, Accept, Primal Fear, Candlemass and many more.
We do, however, trust that you can hear the originality in the 7 tracks, which all tell their own unique story – thematically poking at religious events throughout history. We are extremely proud of this album and are excited for the future together with WHD.

With several releases and a plethora of gigs to their name from previous constellations, Steelbourne set out to conquer new land for danish metal and prove that the new generation still writes classics!

Steelbourne was initially a lockdown studio-project, designed to finish unreleased material by their previous band. As the writing escalated, the foundation for “A tale as old as time” was built – and a single spark reignited inferno. Steelbourne honor the legends of old, being deeply inspired by giants such as Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Candlemass and Accept while incorporating contemporary elements into their music, aiming to provide a modern take on classic heavy metal.
Having played large venues both domestically and internationally, the band is no stranger to touring life either, looking forward to getting back on the road.

Steelbourne are:
Jacob Vestergaard Druedahl Bruun – Guitars
Troels Rasmussen – Lead Vocals
Benjamin Andreassen – Bass-guitar, Backing vocals
Simon Klem Kannegaard – Guitars
Simon Sorsback – Drums & Backing vocals
