Steeler

Steeler was a heavy metal band from the German city of Bochum formed in 1981. The band was active between 1981 and 1988. The founding members were Peter Burtz on vocals, Axel Rudi Pell on guitar, Tom Eder also on guitar, Volker Krawczak on bass and Jan Yildiral on drums. The band owes its name to "Steeler", a song from Judas Priest's album British Steel. The band released two albums with this line-up, one eponymous, Steeler, and the other titled Rulin' the Earth. After the first two albums, Krawczak was replaced by Roland Hag; this new line-up released two more albums, Strike Back and Undercover Animal. After that, the band broke up.
