Things are looking better than ever for GENERATION STEEL! The quintet from Wetzlar/Germany, has repositioned itself on all fronts and is literally blowing a storm with its upcoming third studio album.

With guitar wizard and songwriter Thilo Herrmann, who made his debut in 1985 on the FAITHFUL BREATH classic “Skol” and has written heavy metal history with RISK (“Ratman” a.o.), RUNNING WILD (“Black Hand Inn,” “Masquerade,” a.o.) and GRAVE DIGGER (“Ballads Of A Hangman,” a.o.), band leader and guitarist Jack the Riffer now has a living legend at his side.

There has also been a change behind the microphone, with Swedish singer Mike Stark, who currently also sings with the Argentine band FEANOR and the Swedish formation STORMBURNER, now setting the tone. His powerful, high-pitched yet dynamic voice gives the new tracks an absolute seal of approval.

GENERATION STEEL stands for genuine, traditional heavy metal influenced by the 80s, right between acts like ACCEPT and JUDAS PRIEST.

With the first demos of their upcoming third LP in tow, the metal commando scored two more hits: With WE-LIVE, they gained a renowned booking agency whose roster includes OVERKILL, SACRED REICH, SODOM, and their neighbors from BLIZZEN. The set-up is completed with a contract with the newly launched label FIREFLASH RECORDS, where GENERATION STEEL found a new home among acts such as WOLF, RUTHLESS, HOLY MOSES, and DEPRESSIVE AGE.

“I’ve always had a soft spot for Teutonic heavy metal, which was more tangible and present for me. For me, GENERATION STEEL in 2026 stand for the same values and sound that artists like ACCEPT, GRAVE DIGGER, RUNNING WILD, and RAGE established in the 80s. Even in their raw form, the new songs are pure dynamite and steel in its purest form!” says FIREFLASH RECORDS owner Markus Wosgien about his new protégés.

GENERATION STEEL are currently in the final stages of production with producer Piet Sielck (IRON SAVIOR) in his studio. Sielck has already refined classics from GAMMA RAY, GRAVE DIGGER, HEADHUNTER, STORMWARRIOR, BLIND GUARDIAN, and SAXON in the past.

Video “Bloodrage” – www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDBcwmGBmfU

Ready to break the shackles? Dive into “Lionheart” and experience the true essence of Heavy Metal!

In addition to the powerful riffs and the rousing choruses, “Lionheart” impresses above all with profound lyrics that deal with the complex prisons in which we all sometimes feel trapped. Uwe Lulis was again in charge of production, the artwork was created by Gyula Havancsák.

Pre-Order “Lionheart”

“Lionheart” takes us into a world where artists explore the limits of the human psyche. Through powerful lyrics and emotional vocals, they penetrate the deepest layers of our soul. The lyrics reflect the inner imprisonment that can arise from self-accusation and uncontrollable emotions. But the album is not just a dark journey into the depths of human existence; it is also a passionate call for departure.

GENERATION STEEL are self-confident: The aim of the new album was to make the songs even more interesting and dynamic, to deliver clever arrangements and to top it off on the first album.
