Steel - Heavy Metal Machine

[skyfire322]

Mikael Akerfeldt, Dan Swano.... Can't get any better than this!

[methlamamba]

Well here's something new!

[Solon1]

raisu

[etherealdrow]

judas priest from dm legends!!!!!

[IamAlwaysRight]

Make a FULL ALBUM Please, Mr Swano!

[IamAlwaysRight]

Kiding or not this is some of the best fucking metal I've heard in my entire life.

[Vangelistexas]

thumbs up if you think the police horn is the best detail EVER :D

[humbertox]

@Vangelistexas Yeah because no one's ever used sirens before. Quit trying to get thumbs up, asshole.

[Vangelistexas]

@humbertox does your mom know you are a fag?

[humbertox]

@Vangelistexas No, but speaking of mothers, tell yours I'm sorry that I pulled out so hard. If I knew I'd cause her rectum to prolapse I would have been more gentle.

[Vangelistexas]

@humbertox she told me it has been like that for years but she never wanted to tell you because it would disappoint you since you were trying so hard

[rapanzel666]

Dan, PLEASE give us a whole album!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ildur]

My project called ROCKA ROLLAS is going to make a cover of this song!

[MrSlayer3434]

I need this disc!!!!! \m/

[JayTyrus]

kinda reminds me of classic Grave Digger

[plaidsmen]

dan swano + opeth.. fuckin eh

[davidov1987glam]

These guys belong on Brutal Legend!

[ildur]

DOES ANYBODY HAVE THE LYRICS FOR THIS?! I'm actually going to record a cover on this and need it really badly now!

[lkkjhg45]

@ildur STEEEEEEL

[ildur]

@lkkjhg45

this song is being covered by my band, because it's to metal to not being covered!!!!!!

[TheBadgerslayer]

Holy Christ. I am in love with Micheal Akerfeilt.

[optrirominiluikus]

STEEL = the shit.

[nicholsjoshua15]

I thought this would be a cover of The Smashing Pumpkins "Heavy Metal Machines" from the album "Machina: The Machines Of God"

[slashednoodles]

@nicholsjoshua15 shut up

[rapedbyasquirrel]

@nicholsjoshua15 whatever lady, kitchen now!

[Toffelielain]

Go checkout Diabolical Masquerades – Hater. Dan does heavy metal vocals there too. :D

[McMadman94]

One thing:

STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEL!!!!

[Lazermuffin]

Sounds like Iron Maiden + Agent Steel.

[HellHammerX]

Steel rocks, love the other bands also

[calastiur]

They perhaps didn't took this serious, but I prefer this over Opeth. (Not a fan of that band. I do like some of Dwano's work such as Edge of Sanity's ''Crimson''.)

Fun heavy metal with nice over the top vocals. Wish these guys would have released made an full length.

[IamAlwaysRight]

@calastiur I totally agree with you. Cheesy or not this shit rules and is better then most crappy death <<hardcore<< metal made today.

[BrimstoneLandscapes]

@IamAlwaysRight More poppy and accessible =/= better. Also, hardcore and death metal don't belong in the same sentence.

[thekatatonia22]

mikael can play anything he want

[Ale84Biker]

KICK ASS SONG

[wildborda00]

i definately AGREE

[SwiftFinch]

Try not to take it seriously. These guys obviously had a blast making this, just goofing around. It's 80s power metal made in the 90s. You can't get any more cheesy.

[VitalSigns1]

@SwiftFinch You're a fucking moron. Of course they take it seriously or they wouldn't have written it. I fucking take it seriously and I'm going to see these guys play very soon. They come from my hometown. Stop talking shit you motherfucker.

[SwiftFinch]

@VitalSigns1 Dude, take it easy. I never said the band doesn't take it seriously. I just don't think they take it THAT seriously. A lot of people and sources have said that the guys did this project just to have fun, and I agree.

You don't have to be 100% gung-ho about the music you write to make it good. Hell, you could almost consider Steel a parody of old power metal bands.

And if you're talking about Opeth excluseively, I completely agree and respect them as musicians for being serious.

[VitalSigns1]

@SwiftFinch THEY TAKE IT VERY FUCKING SERIOUSLY 100%?? You Get it?? You're calling them a parody of older power metal bands...that's a slap in the face to me and to them!! What's wrong with you? How dare you talk this kind of shit!  You don't know what you're talking about, because heavy metal is the MOST serious form of music on the planet. You better watch what you say before you speak next time, because you're going to piss off people with your words.

[SwiftFinch]

@VitalSigns1 I'm not trying to piss you or anyone else off, but I think if you talk to anyone about this matter, they'll agree that this wasn't exactly meant to revolutionize the power metal genre. When I think of Dan Swanö, I think of death and progressive metal. When I hear these falsetto vocals of his, I can't help but think that they made this for FUN, nothing more. I'm not downplaying the greatness of metal at all, though you seem to think that.

[SwiftFinch]

If you want to take this seriously, that's fine. I'm not stopping you from doing that. I'm just saying that I have different views on the subject, and you don't need to yell in my face about it. I love death, progressive, and power metal. I think they are the best genres ever. But in order to listen to it, I don't believe I need to force my views upon everyone else and insist that they are correct.

[SwiftFinch]

I also don't get why you're not yelling at everyone else. Read any comment on this video, you'll see the words "haha" or "lol". I know I'm talking to a wall here, since this is the internet, but seriously, chill out a bit.

[skateking1022]

@VitalSigns1 How do they come from your hometown if you live in America they are all Swedish. Its Opeth without Mikael on Vocals and with Peter playing bass. This band was formed because Mikael loved Iron Maiden and Judas Priest and is a tribute to them. It disbanded in 1996.

[IamAlwaysRight]

@SwiftFinch

In other words, it DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THEN THIS!!!!!!!!!!!

[ladywindowshopper]

this is AWFUL

[ildur]

The snare sound is so FUCKING 80s HEAVY!!!!

[MetalHeadViking]

This song Fucking ROCKS!!!

[Steve128967]

Dan Swano vocals, Mikael guitars, Peter Lindgren bass and Anders Nordin drums.

[Vagatarian2000]

hilarious

[Raktavijan]

Swanö truly is the king of metal, no matter the genre.. be it heavy metal, death metal or any other of one million and one projects! :D

[HELLT0RCH]

this is nuts! how fun hahahahaa

"heavy metal machiiiiii-aaaan!"

[pipiri45654]

mikael plays guitar here???

[slayerized667]

yes, i think so...

[rinconbrujo]

yes

[Therojo]

plays the bass

[Blekzebbed]

I hope Mikael Akerfeldt, Dan Swano and Andres Nystrom, will once unite on an awsome album

[gekkomatic]

DAN SWANO is definitely one of the metal heroes....true talent!!!!

[HELLBATTERY]

@gekkomatic i agree!

[slayerized667]

HEAVY METAL !!!

[Queto1123]

i wanna see someone try to cover this awesomeness

[Arkburnthesun]

Who would of thought Dan Swano and Mikael Akerfeldt would make the best Power Metal ever!

[calastiur]

I'm actually surprised that this is Dan Swanö. I mean, he has done clean vocals, growled vocals and even these high pitched screams? Amazing!

[ArcticRenegade]

Figured it out! I have details and links on my page on how to DL youtube vids, then convert them to mp3's

[ultraliskdeath]

where can i download the songs?

[IamAlwaysRight]

this song jsut melts my face, the vocals are AMAZING!

[blueapple007]

Cant fucking believe thats Dan and Mikael. This is a really good stuff. They should and make at least a full-length album.

[vigcs]

I can't believe this is Dan Swano and Mikael Akerfeldt...so out of character for them, haha.

[Stratophony]

STEEEEUUUUL!

heh... even though it wasn't a serious project, it still came out pretty damn good.

"Rock Tonite" is by far, my favorite from the EP though.

[TowardsThePantheon]

lol @ vocals

[maldelcerebro]

wtf!!! this is pure HEAVY METAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it´s like judas priest´s all guns blazing, don´t tell me that´s power fuck it!!!!

though power metal is good but this is heavy metal! and dan has a nice heavy metal voice he can scream hard like steve grimmet or even rob halford, well not actually , but anyways great band great song great EP

[IamAlwaysRight]

Power METAL FTW!

[Foofeyhead]

haha i love Dan, but i can't help but laugh at some of his power metal vocals...

"Heavy Metal Machine" does have some of Mike's best solos though imo

[mario4prez]

its supposed to be a joke

[IamAlwaysRight]

WHAT? High pitched power metal vocals are NO JOKES! I THINK his voice is fucking awesome!

[Slashandcarry]

True, metal vocals are indeed no joke. This is the sound the universe was created to. The vocals created the Big Bang, it's all on Wikipedia.

[ManofWar55]

The funny thing is it was kinda supposed to be a joke. Haha. They actually do sound good though!! They could be a sucessful band if they continued. Dan Swano is the frickin' man.

[mathriok]

Are you sure it was supposed to be a joke? Feels more like showing their gratitude to bands like Judas Priest and Accept.

[ManofWar55]

It's a little of both I think.

"The members just wanted to have some fun playing 80's Power Metal. They didn't want to continue this project after the first EP."

On their metal-archives page.

[Slashandcarry]

It's definitely a joke, without a doubt!

[IamAlwaysRight]

we just told u fool, its also an homage to the best metal bands of the 80 LIKE THE PRIEST.

Anyways, imo this is way better then all the growling stuff so many bands do now.

[lvondas]

STEEEEEEEEEEEL!!!!!!!

[aestusmaris]

Steeeeeeeeeeeeeeel!!

Awesome power

[sirdarklust]

This is true power metal. A chainsaw through my headbangin' skull!

[Unholyterror]

They remake Steel... As a Power Metal band!
