RISING STEEL
RETURN OF THE WARLORD

Rising Steel is a band from Grenoble (Fr) whose reputation among the French heavy metal landscape has been growing since 2012.
Largely influenced by the 80's NWOBHM scene, the band delivers solid and powerful metal with the legacy of the great Priest and Maiden spirit.
Heavy metal is the Law! Their first 4-track EP “Warlord” (2014) and led them to share the stage with internationally renowned bands such as Sister Sin, Crucified Barbara and even to open for ADX at the Rising Fest (Dijon, France).
This self-produced EP received good critics and reviews in both national and international media and so did the music video of the eponymous song “Warlord”.
Building upon this first success, 2015 was a year spent working on new material.
So in the early 2016 they hit the Control studio to record the 10-track debut album with Antonin Chardonnereau, the same engineer who recorded the EP.
For the vocal parts, the band decided to work with Norwegian producer Terje Refsnes (Carpathian Forest, Nightmare, Sirenia) at the Soundsuite Studio in Marseille (France).
The mastering has been carried out by Audiosiege (Portland,USA) with Brad Boatright (Corrosion Of Conformity, Black Tusk).
This explosive blend gives “Return Of The Warlord” a crushing sound and reveals the sharpness of the band's new songs.
