Nightsteel is a brand-new Greek metal band that embodies the spirit of classic 80s metal, reviving the magic of the genre in a very special way. Their music will take you back to the old glory days of the 80’s when heavy metal music was on top of the game!
It all started back in 2022 with an idea that songwriter & bassist Bill Sam had and that is how Nightsteel was born. While working on some old demo songs along with new ones, he asked his friend and drummer Mike Foudotos to join the band and take the project to the next level.
After working with some local vocalists, Bill decided to go a step further and work with some of the most notable and up-and-coming vocalists in the metal scene. He first contacted Travis Wills (Crimson Glory, Infidel Rising), who was blown away by the songs and agreed to sing on the album. Unfortunately, due to Travis’ busy recording and touring schedule, he wasn’t able to finish all of the songs, so Bill also enlisted Craig Cairns (Tailgunner, ex Induction), Rob Lundgren (Reveal, Mystery Moon), and Mauro Elias to sing on the remaining songs. In addition, the virtuoso guitar player Igor Paspalj (Guitarist of the Year 2020 by Guitar World and Guitar Player magazines), agreed to play solos on two songs. The line-up was completed with Jasmin M. on guitars and keys.
Hailing from Athens, Greece, this rising force in the heavy metal scene is set to make waves with their explosive sound and unrelenting energy, marking a bold entry into the global metal landscape.
Released via Cosmic Fire Records, “Nightsteel” is an 11-track powerhouse that blends classic heavy & power metal influences with a modern edge, showcasing the band’s signature style — thunderous riffs, soaring vocals, and an unapologetic devotion to the genre.
Nightsteel’s debut album is a must-listen for fans of classic heavy/power metal and acts such as Judas Priest, Savatage, Helloween, Queensryche, Iron Maiden, Riot, Accept, Bonfire, Crimson Glory, and Manowar.
“Nightsteel” is available on digipak CD, a limited black vinyl edition (only 300 copies), and digital.
