   About SOLDIER

Formed in 1979 by guitarist Ian Dick, Soldier will forever be associated with the golden age of early Eighties British Heavy Metal suitably titled – THE NEW WAVE OF BRITISH HEAVY METAL.

The New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) had much in common with the late seventies UK punk movement, only louder and with more hair and spandex!

In a time before the Internet and MySpace the only way to be heard was to gig. Bands played anywhere and everywhere and a phenomenal live music scene existed for a short period of time. Live a Soldier show was always an event and the band was once famously reviewed by Kerrang magazine for being TOO LOUD!

Many bands self released their own singles either on cassette or vinyl, or appeared on dodgy compilation albums.

Soldier managed all three!

Soldier had some European success with their 1982 single Sheralee released by Heavy Metal Records.

After twenty odd years the band reformed in 2003 to complete unfinished business.

In November 2005 Soldier – Ian Dick, Garry Phillips, Steve Barlow and Alex Smith – released the album Sins of the Warrior on Heavy Metal Records.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
HEART OF STEEL RECORDS is very proud to announce the signing of NWOBHM legendary
band BURNER for the release on CD of their very first album in 28 years!!!
The group formed back in 1980 and they released up to now two 7” singles (“Savage Killer”/”Lay Down Your Arms”, and “Hammer Of The Gods”/”Time Is On My Side”/”Old Enough To Know Better”), that will be also included in our CD Version as bonus-tracks!
The album, called “Resurrection”, has been recorded between 2006 and 2008 and it contains songs written in a time-period spanning from 1984 to 2007, but sounding in a pure traditional ‘80s NWOBHM style (with a sound that might recall bands like BLITZKRIEG and DIAMOND HEAD).
The Cd will contain 15 songs (10 songs + the 5 bonus-tracks taken from the above-mentioned singles) for a total running-time of about 65 minutes, and will feature a full colour 16 pages booklet with pics, liner notes, all the lyrics and more.
Release-date : late January 2009.






Heart Of Steel Records proudly announces the signing of Aussie rockers FALLEN SILVER for the release of their debut-album in late January/early February 2009.
The Sydney, Australia-natives five guys play Classic Hard-Rock full of kick-arse riffs, a fat rhythm section and some dirty still very melodic vocals, not too far from the “classics” Ac/Dc, Rose Tattoo and Black Crowes, with the energy of their country-mates Airbourne.
The result is 11 raw & loud Rock bluesy songs that make “Blood In Blue Eyes” one of the most exciting debut albums of these last months!
