So it’s time to face a steel-forged band up in name. We’re talking about the Italian band CRYING STEEL and its new release by Pride & Joy Music on June 15, 2018, the album “Stay Steel” and its twelve tracks with the best of a traditional Hard / Heavy style and a full plate for all lovers of the style, even more if we consider that we have had nothing new from the band since “Time Stands Steel” of 2013. Then it was five long years until finally we had this in hand which is very relevant considering that this band has six demos and an EP for just three previous full-length ones so a fourth album makes a lot of difference to these steel warriors who keep their history since 1982 and bring back the excellent vocal of Tony Mills (formerly SHY and ex TNT), and I really like to remember him in TNT times. The powerful Norwegian band always tops the charts here so talking about him in CRYING STEEL is something easily accepted by the fans. Continue on Metal Temple
