Notable_instruments =Steel Attack is a metal band from
Sala, Sweden . The band started out with the style of European power metal bands, with lyrical content about epic battles, dragons and swords mixed with high-pitched vocals. However, with a change of vocalist in 2003 (Ronny Hemlin), the band and the 2004 album "Enslaved" got a new "direction," both musically and lyrically. Their old power metal sound was re-wrought to be more aggressive, and the standard lyrical content of most power metal bands (dragons, swords, etc) was no longer used. Ronny brought more mystical, mature, religion-related lyrics, in order to fit the band's new heavier sound.With the 2006 release "Diabolic Symphony", the band developed further to include more progressive metal elements. "Diabolic Symphony" is their most diverse album to date. New to the album was the use of keyboards, which helped to take a big step forward in creating a bigger, epic sound.
During 2007 three members decided to leave the band, Anden Andersson, Tony Elfving and Johan Jalonen. Since then, all three positions have been replaced, namely Johan Löfgren (bass), Peter Morén (drums) and Simon Johansson (guitars).
This new line-up of the band has been recording their new album "Carpe DiEnd" during end of 2007/beginning of 2008 and the album will be released February 22th, 2008 by Massacre Records.
