Slave Steel announcing the new release: Ogre Cage

A brand new single, which combines hard-hitting sounds with deeper existential themes.

19 September 2019 – Slave Steel is a band from London, UK. Their sound is a combination of metal, hardcore, and other influences, with a deeply personal feel. The group’s music often deals with existential topics, such as coping with the disillusion of being grown-up, as well as the loss of innocence that stems from leaving childhood behind. Their soaring sonic battery, as well as their poignant lyrics, give an honest depiction of their core values and social commentary. On the other hand, Slave Steel is about cutting to the chase, with burning fast songs and relentless tempos that go for the kill, taking no prisoners.



The band’s recent single, “Ogre Cage,” is a brutal, yet melodic track, inspired by both old school and modern metal. Fans of artists like Iron Maiden, Death and even Gojira will definitely connect with the sound and feel of this track. The band hits with a brutal guitar and vocal assault, aided by a monolithic rhythm section that’s fearless and relentless through the scope of the arrangement.



With unapologetic lyrics such as “Time makes room for fear,” Slave Steel is all about approaching their music in a visceral way. This isn’t just about putting a few sick riffs together but using music as a form of catharsis and personal expression.



In terms of production, the quality of the song’s recording highlights the band’s chemistry. “Ogre Cage” excels especially when it comes to capturing the energy of the band as a live unit, with a sound that favours the organic interaction of the musicians, rather than burying them under excessive studio trickery and layers of postproduction. The sonic craftmanship of the mixing and mastering engineers cannot be denied, they are to be applauded.



Ultimately, the single offers an accurate portrait of Slave Steel’s sound - from melody to aggression, and everything in between.
