Hearing the name
Steel Maid didn’t make any bells ring and I became a bit weary due to
this name, as it’s pretty lame. Next to that I think that releases on
Karthago Records are mostly miss and rarely a hit. Anyway, after
listening to this album and the singer’s style I had to think of
American act Ravage who recently released a pretty good album through
Metal Blade, so I decided to dig for some more info.
Apparently
Steel Maid is a German band and brainchild of former ritual Steel
guitarist Dirk Johannsen who indeed asked Al Firicino, a.k.a. Al Ravage,
to do the vocals. On bass and drums we find the current Ritual Steel
members Björn Bombach (also in Ivory Tower) and Martin Zellmer.
Musically this is straight forward heavy metal, not really bad but also
far from original. The production isn’t convincing; there’s a lack of
impact and that’s something a heavy metal album needs. Typically an
album that will sit on your shelf but rarely find its way to your
stereo. There are better bands out there and I say that without the
intention to declassify Steel Maid.
