bands that can express and present themselves in a proper way. Classical heavy
sound that captivates all true lovers of this genre with its old and very well
known structure, it comes from Novi Sad (Serbia). It is about the band
Thundersteel founded in 2012, which starting as a solid cover band became a
true heavy metal bomb. In 2013 they recorded their first album "The
Exorcism", which came out in 2013. labeled by a well known Serbian
"Tmina Records".
Creaking tires, hot asphalt covered in leather and studs is
a characteristic way of life of true metal rebels. Heavy and also melodic sound
of the song "Anger of the Road" opens the gates of the album
"The Exorcism". Guitar riffs along with high solo parts and classical
vocal scream bursts are the right choice to begin a crazy ride with Thundersteel.
Like a thunder follows the next song "Outlaw Lament", which rays with
its classical heavy riffs and clearly accentuated refrain which completes the
whole impression for the auditorium. The second song will already fury your appetite

trigger" enlightens us to all the capabilities that this band carries. Set
your sails and ride the seas of an extraordinary fourth song "Sail
away" that will win over every heavy metal adventurer's heart. Amazing
guitar parts and riffs along with pure, high and slightly epic heavy metal
sound will invoke the true feeling of this sail. After this one Thundersteel
will take you to the hellish ride through the songs called "Stand
Up", "Idols Castle of Light" and "Lock em out". The
eight song on the album is a dark ambient intro to the song "The Exorcism"
by which this album is named. If you ask us, this intro will take you through
the old satanic horror movies popular in the '80, and seal this band into a
true timeless heavy metal story. Following song "The Exorcism" is musically
and lyrically sophisticated piece of the true heavy masters. The last song
"Past Time Lords" is closing this album with its captivating and
alluring strength.
