During the Early/Mid Eighties a small heavy metal band by the name of Steeler emerged from the German city of Bochum, the band was around between 1984-1988. The band was originally formed with members Peter Burtz on vocals, Axel Rudi Pell on guitar, Tom Eder also on guitar, Volker Krawczak on bass and Jan Yildiral on drums.

The band released two albums with this lineup, one a self titled album (Steeler) and the other titled 'Rulin' the Earth'.
