PURE STEEL have a new US-stallion in the metal stable: ETERNAL WINTER
ETERNAL WINTER has signed a worldwide deal with PURE STEEL RECORDS for the upcoming release of the as-of-yet untitled debut full length album.
The US band plays perfect 80ies influenced US Metal in style of old VIRGIN STEELE and some CRIMSON GLORY influences.
Matthew Knight (singer and founder of the band, also POSEIDONS ANGER) states:
In the past, we have always released independent demos and EPs...When we decided to record our first full-length, it became apparent that we would need the support of a strong, honest record label in order to release the best album possible...Many of the labels I had spoken with in the past, had wanted us to compromise our sound by taking out keyboard parts, changing my vocal style, etc...Pure Steel Records is the first label who has always supported us and our music from the very beginning, and truly believes in what we do!
We began dealing with Pure Steel in 2008 when we contributed to the Warlock Tribute Album they released that year...While at the time, we weren't as big and professional as many of the other bands on the Tribute, they admired us and gave us a chance to appear on the album. After working with them to release our tribute song, we saw how professional and easy to work with these guys were. They loved our True Metal sound and we soon developed a strong mutual friendship.
Now, my band mates in Eternal Winter and I are happy and honored to be a part of the Pure Steel Family...We know we have found a good home for us, and look forward to a bright future ahead!
HAIL to the Immortal Spirit and Valorous Might of Heavy Metal!!
PURE STEEL RECORDS product manager Andreas Lorenz adds:
Volker and me were fascinated of this voice, which got a lot of feeling for great melodies in the guise of 80ies US-Metal scene. We heard some demotracks in 2008 and were both enthusiastic about it. We can’t wait to hear the debut album, but our expectations are very high. A more than worth PURE STEEl band.
ETERNAL WINTER will play on this year’s SWORDBROTHERS-festival and they will show their qualities without any doubt.
