Shaft Of Steel+Versus

Shaft Of Steel ? icy string synths and punchy rhythms with an upfront commercial vocal ? there?s a very 1980s vibe here, in a Wang Chung meets Asia manner! As they say they play ?80s melodic rock? and could well define themselves as a synthwave band, but also a heavy rock band that blends melodic metal and synth wave to create their very own new genre ?Metalwave?. Cool. Their first full-length album was released by German label ?AOR Heaven? in 2020 to wide acclaim in heavy rock magazines worldwide. They have since released a popular cover of Natalie Imbruglia?s ?Torn?! Versus ? Melodic grunge/metal/post-hardcore, blending post-grunge grit with melodic heaviness, currently promoting debut album The Catalyst (out via CK Records). Impressive work.
