The heavy metal band Gladiators was founded in the early 1990s in Markneukirchen, Saxony. Initially brought together as a "Just For Fun" project, it developed from a cover band into a band that increasingly replaced the cover program with their own compositions. With the first, self -produced demo volume First , the musicians contacted various record labels and distributors and were signed by Sönke Lau ( Unrest ) and his former label Black Arrow Production ( Unrest , Backslash etc.) to produce the debut album Steel Vengeance in 1998.
In late 1998, the band was featured on a European tour supporting the bands Jag Panzer and Angel Dust. The band also stopped in Augsburg , where the three bands were also supported by GB Arts.
In 1999 the band again produced the second album Bound to Steel under the same label . A few appearances as support for Grave Digger and Unrest followed. In 2001, the band project was shut down by mutual agreement.
