"VII • Respect The Steel", the successor to the 2015 released compilation "VI", proudly presents 13 Metal hopefuls, off the undignified constructed mainstream.

Stylistically set up with a competent focus, the whole thing is an as stylishly homage to the classic, primeval Heavy Metal, as thereon one can experience also fully sworn Black Metal in all its dark splendor.

The emphatically traditionally designed, appropriately combative cover artwork comes from the capable hands of Serbian illustrator Dusan Markovic.

Even epic uplifting Pagan Metal gets featured on "VII • Respect The Steel". The once again with lots of love, dedication and effort compiled, smoothly going into the ear flow of songs also includes martial-crisp Groove Thrash and melodically violent gripping, sovereign Death Metal.

METAL is the MESSAGE ! and the MESSAGE is LOUD !
