Steel Attack

Founded in 1995 in Sweden, under the name Mayer's Eve, then Steel Attack in '97. Stefan Westerberg and Dennis Vestman formed Mayer's Eve in 1995. The band changed its name to Steel Attack in 1997 due to the large number of members coming and going. The band started out with the style of European power metal bands, with lyrical content about epic battles, dragons and swords mixed with high-pitched vocals. The albums from this era are Where Mankind Fails (1999), Fall into Madness (2001) and the album Predator of the Empire (2003). However, with a change of singer in 2003 (Ronny Hemlin), the band and the 2004 album Enslaved took a new "direction", both musically and lyrically.
