_{German metal band Steel Engraved released their self-titled third album though Rock of Angels Records (ROAR) on 25th January. The band have been around for more than ten years and the decision to release a self-titled album now reflected a new sound, new line-up and new label. The album includes some guest vocals from Primal Fear frontman Ralf Scheepers, who was also responsible for vocal production. The track “Rebellion” was included on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 25th January.}

 

 

 

 

_{Steel Engraved formed in 2006 (initially as Stainless Steel until 2007) and released their debut album “State of Siege” in 2009. That was followed by “On High Wings We Fly” in 2012.

_{About “NI Rocks Recommends”}

_{The simple idea behind “NI Rocks Recommends” is to acknowledge and promote some of the great music being submitted to Rock Radio NI. The albums that I’ll be recommending are those that you’ll hear me playing tracks from on my shows. I'll not be giving marks or ratings or analyzing the tracks in great detail; just telling you something about the artist and the album. It’s a personal recommendation to go check something out, not a traditional “review”!}
