Steel Assassin To Record New Album "Metal of Honor: WWII"

Steel Assassin has issued the following update about working on a new album:

"Hello friends from Steel Assassin! We played a killer show 2/20 with friends Meliah Rage, Ravage, and Mob Hit at Whiplash in Stoughton, MA. The attendance and enthusiasm of the crowd was huge!! And we hope this will herald a new resurrgence in the old school traditional Power Metal /Thrash movement. If it can happen here, it can happen anywhere and everywhere. This must seem strange to our friends and fans in Europe, So. America and elsewhere because the Metal scene has always been strong. But here in the U.S. things have changed a great deal since the ‘80s.

"Our latest CD, 'In Hellfire Forged' has been selling well. High Roller Records has released a limited collector’s edition of the recording, and is almost sold out. Our video 'Burn Witch Burn' is getting some playing time in various Metal shows around The World. Now the band is getting ready to record our latest CD, 'Metal of Honor: WWII.' Those of you who have purchased 'In Hellfire Forged' have heard a little preview of the upcoming CD with the inclusion of the song 'Breakout at St. Lo,' which was the first song for the new WWII that we had written.

"So at this time we are working on getting the new tunes ready to record. We will be searching for a label for this new recording, a label willing to finance the record as well as give the band opportunities to play abroad. To those distros out there that have been selling the CD we are very thankful for the support. We pressed 1000 CDs initially and are more than 3/4 sold out in about 4 months since the release. We are beginning to get re-orders from some of you, so obviously it’s selling well. If this continues we will probably re-press another 1000 CDs. But that will be determined by the continued demand for IHF. Hopefully it will continue.

"Again many thanks to the labels, distros, mags, radio stations, promoters and fans who have continued to support us in our Metallic endeavors. Without you we could not do what we LOVE to do. We hope to see you all in future shows here and all over the world."
