METALLIC BLUE records is very proud to announce the release of "Surgical Steel - Metal From America".
SURGICAL STEEL formed in 1981 with Greg Chaisson (BADLANDS, STEELER) on bass, Jimmy Keeler on guitar, Steve Wilson on vocals, John Aquilino (SCHOOLBOYS, ICON) on guitar and Bob Milan (LYDIAN, HARLEQUIN, RIP N TEAR, 40 THIEVES, BOB WELCH) on drums. The band went through a few lineup changes, but first started recording with Jeff Martin (RACER X, BADLANDS, MSG, LETHAL X) on vocals, Paul Kosanovich on guitar along with Jimmy, Greg and Bob. The band's first recording was the track "Rivet Head" that was featured on the Metal Blade Records compilation "Metal Massacre II". The band would catch the attention of The Metal God himself Rob Halford (JUDAS PRIEST, FIGHT) where he and the band SURGICAL STEEL would become very good friends. Rob joined the band in the studio and recorded dual lead vocals (with Jeff) on the track "Smooth And Fast" along with some backing vocals on the track "Bedtime Baby". The track "Rivet Head" was really the band's only true "heavy metal" song, as the rest of their catalog is much more melodic metal in the vein of bands like SCORPIONS, JUDAS PRIEST (Turbo-era) and mid 80's PRETTY MAIDS.
The album comes complete with thick 20-page booklets full of the band's story, tons of rare photos and full lyrics.
