About their latest video single, “The Watcher Infernal”, vocalist Gerrit P. Mutz states: “The beautiful lyric video should speak quite for itself, I guess. The lyrics are written from the perspective of Lucifer, the scapegoat for all things evil on this planet. He ́s fed up with being the one to blame and points the finger on humanity instead. I think he is right on that one! Musically it ́s a different beast to the title track that we have already showcased. More Sabbath-y and not as aggressive. Maybe just a little more pissed off, haha.”
For more than 25 years, Sacred Steel have been offering metalheads a killer, trend-free alternative to bloated trigger drums, cheesy keyboards and boring cliché sounds that are hyped year after year as “the next big thing in metal”. Sacred Steel have always remained true to themselves, constantly reinventing their traditional style and releasing some highly acclaimed classics, such as their legendary debut “Reborn In Steel” (1997 as the first German band ever signed to Metal Blade Records), the follow-up “Wargods Of Metal”, or their heaviest album to date: “Slaughter Prophecy”.
The band’s upcoming 10th album release will be celebrated with a much-awaited performance at the 25th anniversary of the “Keep It True Festival” and many more shows this year (find all upcoming dates below, with many more to be announced soon!). “Ritual Supremacy” is also the first album to feature new members Toni Ieva (bass) and Jörn Langenfeld (guitar), who joined the band in 2023.
Get ready for the next chapter and let there be…Sacred Steel , who are a trademark in the metal scene: All METAL with attitude, never everybody’s darling – and damn proud of it!
